Natalie, I shut my legs when I was in labour with Joel. I still remember the midwife and mum pulling my legs apart saying that it was too late to shut them now I think the whole thing with closing your legs is that you know it's going to hurt so if you shut them you don't have to do it??? KWIM, atleast I think that's what the thought was going through my head.

When I had Tehya I was sitting up in the pool and had my legs apart, I was pulling on the tops of my thighs, if that makes sense?? I found this a great help when pushing her out.

Goodluck sweety, not much longer to go now
