anyone did strange tribal dances when in labour?

[3kidsisquiteenuff]

hi just wanted to know if im not the only one who when in the last stages of labour i started to dance like a zulu warrior much to the amusement of the mw and dh.what the hell was that about???

My 2nd labour was mainly at home in private. I was upright all the time and found myself feeling very relaxed and dancey in the bathroom. Was most surprised but went with it. Then moved on to transition and git to hospital in time to push!

I did. DH still imitates my birth dancing and, um, chanting. It's not something you plan is it. It just seems to happen. It really helped me ride the waves of contractions.

I went all wild woman and desperatly tried to bite my mother

meg lol at your comment glad to know im not the only one! i think all that dancing was the reason that by baby flew out at great spped after too pushes .i would deffo recommend staying upright

hmmmm does it count if the midwife tells you to do it? I got ordered to walk around (when fully dilated FFS!) to get things moving a bit quicker- no way was I doing that so stood leaning on DH doing elephant walk type stuff stood in one place. I suspect it would have looked like weird tribal dance!
