I loved reading your story. If you get to the pushing part and your epi isn't working next time ask for a squat bar and it might be easier on your tailbone. I'm glad your nurse helped you correct your pushing with her hand suggestion.
Dahli, this is genius. I never would have thought of that, but there is really no reason that I couldn't have used some of the things that ladies who didn't get epis used. I'm totally asking next time.
