I was (well LO was) attached to a heart rate monitor, with a clip in his head. I could only sit on a birthing ball because my SPD meant I couldn't sit or lie on the bed.
I kept insisting I needed a poo, and to unhook to the wires from the machine for me. So they did, I'd wrap a towel around myself, waddle off to the toilet in the reception area, come back, get hooked up, and then do it again about 40 mins later. They kept saying, it's the baby, it's the baby, you don't need to go!
They were right, and I still poo'd during pushing
I also kept saying sorry, 14hr back to back labour on the ball the WHOLE time, with just gas and air and I kept saying to DH, 'I'm so sorry, you must be so tired'. Also I wanted the midwife to tell me when LO was coming, to the exact minute!
