I intended to birth that way or squatting but after a long labour it wasn't possible as I just didn't have the energy to be in that position. I laboured for hours on my knees next to the bed, then for hours on all fours on the bed, then on knees with arms over the bed head.

I tried pushing whilst in that last position but after a while I was too exhausted and ended up on my back. My 1st stage was 15 hours and 2nd stage was almost 2 hours so it got absolutely exhausting.
