    I didn't have coached pushing last time, if anything I was trying not to push and Anna was telling me to push if thats what my body wanted to do... lol She just directed (not coached) at the very end so I wouldn't tear, but I absolutely could not breathe her out, I had to push her head out with all my might!!!

    Its good that the pushing time goes down though, I'm hoping for not as long this time

    I think I'm starting to get excited

    Come on Alexis, have your baby already!! LOL

    I'll let her know you have commanded her arrival, Melly!

    Had massive unhappiness in my back last night, some moderate BH at the front... Actually had to rock for 2 hours on my glider foot stool lol DH was fab though, and she is sooo much lower than she was on Thursday. Yay for progress!

    Wow! That is progress! Doesn't sound like she'll make you wait, or labour, long

    Never been coached as to when or how hard to push, just told to go with what my body wanted to do and a few "breath now" as the heads crown so i didnt tear. Pushing stage gets much quicker girls, even if the labour doesnt! Well thats what happened for me

    Awesome!! I'd be happy with a 10 minute pushing stage.. lol.. dreaming? perhaps...

    Alexis - yes! Write her the marching orders and give them to her.. could be a tad painful for you though - can you imagine paper cuts up there? ooochies...
