Pft @ all this nonsense about talking through them

With #3 it was just a little ouchie and cx 10-15 minutes apart until about 20 minutes before he was born, which probably explains why the midwife wandered off and only came back when we madly pressed the call button because baby was crowning ...

... which in turn explains why I wound up having a baby on hands and knees on a blanket on the hospital floor. Hmmm.
