Once the contractions started getting very painful, I couldn't stand like I wanted to, so I was on the bed, on about a 20 degree recline. I rolled over onto my side for each contraction (I'm not sure it helped, but that's what my body wanted to do - maybe because DH was on that side?)

My first push was while I was rolling back onto my back, then I pushed him out while I was on my back because I wasn't expecting my body to tell me to push. Like Negrita, it was like the pressure stopped once he was out - the only pain I felt was the contractions. I had grazing but no tear (of course, he wasn't as big as a "normal" baby so next time will most likely be a different story)
