I had DS 2 years ago, and I've never been able to make sense of his birth. I really struggled with labour pains, more so than I thought I would. He was back to back and all my contractions were in my front upper thighs/hips. Absolutely none felt in my back or over my bump. I had practised yoga and breathing techniques and was planning on an active labour but the pains in my legs meant I couldn't stand never mind walk.
Ended up progressing too quickly for an epidural and had a water birth with gas and air, but looking back I was really taken aback by how sore it was.
Has anyone else experienced a labour with just contractions in the legs??
