Did any of you end up with a waterbirth without having planned to use the pool?

[mears]

Am looking into this just now. Our unit is very pro offering the pool for pain relief in labour. A lot of women go into it without having considered it antenatally and go on to have a waterbirth.

Did that happen to any of you? Are you glad you did?

lol at "stop gabbing and start pushing"...

I think labour has been the only 10 hours I have ever stopped talking

ah now with the 1st labour, no talking at all, pethadine and lots of pain, 2nd labour in water, no pain unless I stood up out the water, was truely fabulous, also have to say tho, more of a pelvic labour 2nd time around, not all over like the 1st.
