I'm the opposite in regards to pushing too, though I've not done it all natural yet. With Ianto it was such a relief and felt so goooood. With Amelia it was like "oh, FINALLY we're getting somewhere, I'm doing things MY WAY now!" - it was the one part I felt in control even when they were still trying to direct things.

I must admit I'm a little worried/scared of natural birth not being as awesome as I hope it is. I don't know how I labour naturally, but I'm hoping its close to how it was with Ianto. That was an alright labour aside from the obvious I *know* it won't be like with Amelia, because I recognise that was mostly due to my negative emotions at the situation...
