I definitely dont hate it, bit I do dread the pain of it. I like pushing, but do not like the sensation of the babies head crowning. I always panic for a min or so until the head is out and its smooth sailing from there.

With Layla the MW asked me if I was pushing or dealing with the pain while I was standing next to the bed. I told her I didnt know, lol. She said to get on the bed, did an internal and said I wasnt ready to push - in fact had a long while to go. 5 mins later Layla had popped out onto the bed, the nurse was saying 'oh *****' and running to get her little roll of tools. She was born in her coul (sp). Special right from the start!!
