I had a mirror with Briona but every time I pushed I also squeezed my eyes shut... so there goes that idea lol

At first I was quite disgusted, I had not wanted a mirror (was terrified I'd faint, I'm that type of person) but my mw's back-up was looking after me and wheeled it in during a time when I couldn't talk. But then I got over it and looked - and did appreciate it in the end.

The whole thought of a mirror kinda creeped me out but I really wanted to film it so I could watch it later (probably with the sound off, I hollered a lot!).

Monique - yeah, i guess i am very lucky! 20 minutes was 'easy' compared to the second one tho, that was a veeeeryy bad 12 minutes!

Am hoping that this next one will be a sneeze...two at the most

Xanthe and Jordis mum (sorry not sure of name) you animal holding pushes in I wasn't allowed to push cos of anterior lip but did anyway.

Jack was 45 mins of pushing but I was probably sneakily pushing before that. I was in the bath and didn't give 2 hoots about the baby just wanted the pain to be over although I think there was a mirror so ben and mw could watch. Ben describes this day as the worst day in his life from what he saw. I also didn't sit there with the head hanging out like the mw wanted once that head was out everything else got pushed out.

Hoping this baby just falls out with a push or 2.

Stacey 45 mins for me actually didn't feel like it was that long and its good to be doing something rather than just sitting there hurting.

Did anyone else find that when they were pushing they couldn't really feel contractions so just had to guess?

Only when I had epidural, so used the CTG (and mws). Man, I hear "just a couple more pushes" for forever! so 45 mins does seem like a long time to me.

Yeah RachandJack - I went from feeling the contractions really definately to not being really sure if that was a contraction and pushing anyway. It was a bit scary but I think I must have been guessing right.

I can't remember how long I pushed Christopher (number 1) but I don't think it was very long. Might have been half an hour tops. With Noah (number 2), I only pushed for 15 to 20 minutes. That was a really quick labour.
