    I had an uncomplicated vaginal delivery at 3.30am and went home at lunchtime. I did have some chest pains, I believed it was because I'd spent 4 of the 6 hours of my labour leaning over a fitball, but the OB tried to push me into having a blood transfusion (three times!) because my haemoglobin was low, which I refused. The hospital was more than happy for me to leave (iron supps in hand) whenever I wanted, although they were surprised that I didn't want to stay
