My ob has told me that second baby can move into the correct position in the middle of labour. Mine is still sitting outside of my pelvis and I was due a few days ago.

And I know where the pushing fear comes from too - I started pushing with DD at 7am and she wasn't born until almost 12pm.....so that part I'm dreading. Gas made me throw up, pethadine sent me to sleep between contractions and they tried to get the epidural in my back and failed - after four shots at it. So I'm going in this time with a TENS and knowing there isn't a lot else they can do pain relief wise.

But you know what's been helping me? Start reading the birth stories on here. There are some hugely inspirational ones that have given me a huge amount of courage. I let fear overtake me in DD's birth and be damned if I'm going to let it happen again.
