2 out of my 3 labours i have had natural drug-free vaginal births..... (1st i had pethadine).
My labours are verrrrrrrrrrrry quick. So much so i got to hossi with DD#2 and there was no time to go upstairs to maternity ward - i had to deliver in emergency - i still had my shoes on during birth. I was 7cm when i arrived. 2 pushes and she was out.
3rd labour....i got to hossi at 3am...had her at 5am. This was by far the most painful labour, and most exhausting, but i have it in my head the whole time 'i can do this'.....each contraction is bringing you closer to baby...and as painful and tear jerking are these contractions, they dont last forever. Its bliss when the midwife says 'you can start pushing now'....ahh how i love those words. But if you believe in yourself, believe your body can do this, reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally concentrate on your breathing, then you will do it.....
