You ladies are so clued up it is fabulous. Are you doula's and midwifes?

With Kael I had to be induced as my waters broke on his due date, but nothing happened. I didn't have diabetes and wasn't overweight. The beginning of the birth I was very active, but near the end they recommended an epidural which I now wish I hadn't had because it made little if any difference to the amount of pain I felt plus I was limited to laying on the bed. I would never ever have or recommend an epidural.

When Kael was stuck they tried the Mc Robert's position and eventually they used their hands to pull him out. I am going to the OB with a bunch of questions thanks to all your information because from what I have read and please tell me if I am misunderstanding, but I feel that if I don't have an epidural am (hopefully) not induced again and can be active there is a good chance I can do this without a csection. My confidence is not a problem as I have always thought that if I can do it once I can do it again. So would it be fare to suggest this to the OB? If he decline's would you recommend I try another OB?

Sorry for bombarding you all with so many questoins, but a c-section is something I do not want to do unless it's totally necessary.
