Great story Spiddles.

I know how you feel with the midwives not taking you seriously. I got sent home from my midwife appointment the day before Brandon was born and told to come back when my contractions were under 5mins apart. Well, I had him at home in the bath, because they never got that close. I pushed when I felt like it, and told DP he'd better call an ambulance, after I felt Brandon crowning! DP caught himself, because no one else was here, no gloves or anything.

It's amazing how resilient the human body is isn't it? I didn't need stitches. Did you use any breathing or anything?
