Hi. 35 weeks with 3rd baby. I have large babies, and with rather unfortunate large heads (please let this one have my head and not dh's). Anyway, dd (1st baby) got her head stuck, was trying to come out ear first, ended up in emergency section. DS 1 managed to get out, after 2 hour first stage but 2 hours of pushing, and with the aid of ventouse (suppose he was technically my first vaginal birth). Hoping to have this one at home, mw supportive, all well so far. However I am obviously not that great at pushing! Everyone assures me that this time round, because I have done it once, it will be easier. I realise I will ahve to go to hospital if I get stuck, which I am prepared for, but would really, obviously, rather not! What, if anything, can I do to maximise my ability to push better?
