My dd was breech until 36-37 weeks and had she stayed I'd decided to have a elcs. She was also measuring under the 10th centile until around then and the consultant was recommending being induced if she didn't grow. So I was looking at either induction at 38/39 weeks if she didn't grow or section if she didn't turn. She had a minor growth spurt (went from just under the 10th tonjust over it)and turned so in the end I had a vaginal, unassisted birth.

I had everything going for my 1st injections pills and then the epidural so when it came to my 2nd I wanted to do it without and I managed in the pool with gas and air was much nicer go with how you feel xx

I had a waterbirth with gas and air at a midwife led birth centre with both of my boys, and that's what I'm hoping for with baby three in November. Highly recommend a birth centre. 😊

I had a home birth with just a bit of gas and air towards the end. Had I been in hospital I think I'd have begged for all the pain relief going. Because it wasn't available I had to do without! And I'm glad I was lucky enough for it to work out that way, as the labour progressed quickly and smoothly and naturally.
