Oh good. I don't have to worry about the epidural - the chances of them getting a needle within 5kms of my spine is non-existent. And I will happily tell them I am not responsible for the my phobia driven defensiveness if they even try it (which the pathologist today did not help at all. I *really* miss the path from Nepean). I do manage to keep myself still enough to get a canula for synto drip, but they only have my permission to use it in the third stage to prevent repeat PPH. I wont even let them attach the bag until after I have delivered the placenta.
Its really coming together now!
Goth: That mw sounds like a right cow. Only had 1 like that when I had Sam. I remember the conversation going something like this.
MW: Don't push yet, you're not ready
Me: I'm not bearing down yet. I've done this before too you know.
MW: Well I have delivered hundreds of babies.
Me: and here I was thinking I was doing all the work.
She was just getting impatient because she had already written the DoB on the baby tags and it was half past 11. No faith whatsoever in us at all. *sigh* If she had the slightest clue on how much of that contraction I didn't push for... They wouldn't go away without some form of push - and that seems to be about the norm for me - so something must be happening that requires a little push.
