In fact I whatched from the pet-pet end of things. My daughters head come out one side of the skull then the other side. The skull was like over lapping then after the top end of the skull cam out the two sides popped together to form the whole skull... I remember we were chatting. Mama, the specialist and I were chatting coz she got an epidural so apparently practically no pain (I wouldn't know). Only some pain during pushing. I helped by telling Mama when to push as indicated by the machine (I can't remember the name). The numbers rise a bit when the contractions come. Because of epidural she couldn't feel the contractions properly. My daughter was 3.3kg at 45cm. I was there for my daughters birth. In fact I whatched from the pet-pet end of things.

He got to cut the umbilical cord for #1. I will never forget how he cried when he saw her, and how protective he was of both as soon as they came out. My husband was there for both births.
