Hey Lucy

My 3rd ended up being an induction, she did go head down though at 33 wks.

I have always felt the urge to push and when checked have had just a lip left. I always say "I feel like I need to push!" And they have a quick look and say yep you're right LOL, of course I knew that.LOL I think you do have to listen to your body but I like to avoid stiches so I do try to listen to the midwives/dr when they say ok hold on, cos the dr always stretches my perineum as the head is crowning. I had no tears or anything with no. 2,3 or 4, and they were 7lb 8, 8lb 4 and then 6lb10

I think you'll be fine, try not to get too uptight,
cheers michelle
