..would that have been the point at which I hurled myself at my dh, grabbed his shirt collar, pulled his face to within inches of my own and told him in no uncertain terms that I could not possibly do this ("yes you can darling", "NO. I. CAN´T"), and that he´d better get someone to give me an epidural that worked or go ahead with the c-section they´d been threatening...

Just been wondering..

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

this would be when i got up and said im going home...ds born about 7 mins later!

i think that was when I crossed my legs underwater, assuming that this would prevent ds coming out and therefore I would no longer be in labour and it would all stop

i start to moan and say "I can't" over and over

i shout at a midwife if she even looks like she might touch me

baby is born a matter of minutes later

(and even thinking about it brings tears to my eyes...who said you forget the pain???!)

LOL at Scorpio saying I'm going home

I wasn't in transition at the time but I do remember messing about when I was on the gas n air saying "On second thoughts can I get a puppy instead?"
