yeah i must say I am really glad I didnt hve to see down that end! I think sometimes its easy to forget what our partners see us go through and that it was pretty traumatic for them too. I will never ever forget the moment that Hannah was born tho and Daniel just burst into tears and we had our little family cuddle... Awww

AAAWWW, have been present at 2 other births - my nieces and another for my maternity placement. One was before having kids and one was after, and i tell you it's a whole new perspective.

I really don't know how I would get on being at a birth and not the person giving birth. Watching the videos are fine but being there i'm not to sure.
Frantic, i'm sure once you get into labour you will move around until you find what is right for you. Even thou they say "this position is the best" it's not for everyone. The woman doing my antenatal class was very anti laying on your back, but I had great joy going back after we had Andrew and saying it was the best for me and so so so comfortable.

lol, first time i had no idea cos i was about 15 so was just there as support - am sure i sat in the corner looking white (much like mike did at paris's birth!!)
At the other ladies one i could clearly tell what stages whe was going through cos i had only had Ayja 4 months before hand and could remember every noise and way of thinking (you know, the "i can't do it" stage etc) and i found myself just wanting to do the work for her lolol, you kinda sit there mentally pushing and remembering what you felt. a bit like flash-backs from 'nam. lol

Ive just realised I have no idea what hubby was thinking during labour. First time round it was all so stressful with Kobe being taken away pretty much as soon as he came out and I just remember telling hubby to stay with him while they took him to nicu so we didnt really get a family cuddle time. This time was different but I still have no idea what he was thinking. I didnt want him to see 'down there' figured he wouldnt look at me the same way ever again, I know I sure as hell didnt want to see.

yeah sure I understand obviously I will find the best position at the time - I just assumed that all women give birth on their back and was shocked to hear that "äpparently" not many do and I was just wondering how many people here actualy used the old fashioned "on you back" thing - I had to laugh - I was talking with a lady at work the other day about it and asking if she was on her back for her baby's delivery and she said "sure - I figured I was on my back when it got in there so might as well be on my back when it got out"- lol what a crack-up!

With Bailey I couldnt have anything touching my back as it hurt so much!I ended up standing at the end of the bed with my head in a beanbag and pushed him out that way... Ill never forget that feeling of all the fluid and blood streaming down my legs YUCK! ..... I did try on my back, on all fours and kneeling but now worked for me.
You will never know what position you want untill you are actually in labour
