*Snap* to Tegan, I somehow managed to push out a 9pound9oz baby without an epidural and looking back I remember at the time thinking how much pain I was in, but what could I do about it! I remember asking for more pain relief during the pushing stage, and the midwife said all you can do now is push, and she was right, the pushing helped, and my beautiful man arrived, 90mins later!

It's good to have some idea of pain relief, but I think it is best just to go in there with a clear mind about it, and whatever happens, happens.

Good luck to those meeting their bubs sometime soon!
