I initially was going to have a waterbirth but after a few hours decided to get out of the tub. When i was pushing the midwife coached me when to breath instead of push. My baby ended up having severe shoulder dystocia and needed to get out fast. But even though i had a midwifes hand up there AND he was 5730g i only had a small tear on a previous scar that didn't need stitches. I really think it was spending time in the water because you'd really think i'd be torn up with all that but i wasn't.
