Did anyone else have this in labour? After about 5cm many of my contractions had double peaks to them, so a contraction would start, build up, peak, start to go again and then peak even stronger than the first, then go quickly? I did progress fairly quickly from 5cm to fully and did get a strong urge to push during the peaks of the contractions as soon as the double peaks started.
Did anyone else get this? Is there anything I can do to stop it happening next time as some of my contractions were probably over 2 minutes long. Also when I had my pushing urges I kept getting told not to push but I couldn't stop myself, it was just happening. Next time I'm thinking if I want to push I might just go for it?
