Yep, I delivered in the side-lying position, it was nice to be able to absolutely rest between contractions. Thanks for comment about the homebirth, Jenny! I'm not sure I would have done anything different - I'll have to think about that one! LOL @ hemorrhoids - I didn’t get any, thankfully!

Thanks for comment about the homebirth, Jenny! I’m not sure I would have done anything different - I’ll have to think about that one!
