Fantastic that it all went so well in the end and congrats on the birth of your little man. I know what you mean by extreme pain and only a little dilated I too have a dodgey pelvis, mine tilts backwards so it means I have posterior labours OUCHIES, they tend to get stuck and in distress to boot, all but one ending in emergency CS. My last one I was prepared with a cs birth plan JIC, and I got to have DH film... unfortunately he forgot to push record???bubs and DH there while they stitched me up, they let me hold DD with help while it was happening. In recovery I got to BF, in all it was a great experince, of course I would like it to be different but if it can't be that's the next best thing.
