*Nally* Please come explain standing birth

[DivaSkyChick]

I'm fascinated with how easy you found this to be, that it worked for you TWICE.

Did you have any pain relief? HOW can you stand up in the midst of that much pain?

"Bring it on" indeed. You probably just put nipple to target and THAT worked perfectly too! Right?

I had a home birth with my second son after a horrible flat-on-my-back-legs-in-stirrups birth first time round. With DS2 I knelt down and leant forward for every contraction and gave birth standing up leaning against a dresser. No pain relief at all, though second births are probably less painful. It was very intense, rather than painful. I've always thought that left to their own devices women would stand or squat, not lie on their backs to give birth. Good luck!

I gave birth to dd2 in a kneeling position, so much better than on a bed I think
