Hi All

I understand all the reasonings behind trying to give birth standing up, on all 4's etc as opposed to lying down on a bed and trying to "push uphill". But for my DD, even though I had a relatively short labour by the time it came time to push adn get down to business I was just soooo tired that I could barely stand so ended up giving birth in the bed.

The whole birth experience initself was a great one, even though I did end up with a tear but are there any recommendations from anyone about what to do once you get towards the end and all you want to do is lie down?????
