I have to say, reading back over these replies, I am envious to those who had big heads and felt it was no different.

Ashton was 39, his head didn't cone, I wish it had. He was the HARDEST birth of all 3. I almost gave up a couple of times and refused to push. I actually didn't feel like I would get him out. Yes we all get like that, I remember that point with both the other boys, but with Ash it was physically harder and I needed to push a lot more. He was also 11 pounds so that didn't help. And his shoulders got stuck for a minute which tore me, but only a little.

I was so relieved when I got him out. My mum commented that she couldn't believe the screaming that I did. I believe the word the doctor used was 'primal'
