i'm hoping for another home birth. last time i wanted a water birth and borrowed my girl friend's pool, i was in it thru the second 2 hours of my labour (which i counted as 5 hours) but for the last hour (the pushing bit) i got out, iirc the midwives thought i wasnt progressing or reluctant to push or summink because even in pain delirium i am still neurotic and didnt want to do a poo in the water!
idk whether to bother with it this time? i do remember it helped a lot but still, its gonna really bloody hurt loads either way so i'm thinking i wont bother.
but of course iv nothing to compare it to! has anyone had a water birth and a dry one?! without pain relief? does water alone make THAT much of a difference am i gonna regret not having it? thanx
