Practical ideas for labours that are hard and fast?
Hi all,
My last labour was pretty quick- 5 hours from the first twinge of pain, three and a half hours of 'official' labour (according to the hospital papers). I went from a twinge of back pain to it being so bad that i couldn't speak in about the space of an hour.
I'm assuming this one will be somewhat the same (while keeping in mind it might not be ). So I was wondering if anoyone has any practical ideas for dealing with labour that progresses that quickly? I feel like it went so fast I had no time to regroup, to think about different strategies to cope with the pain (and my well packed labour bag didn't even make it out of the car!).
Any ideas, thoughts, experiences much appreciated.
