Yes I did J ™,
The head was visible with each push, but then kept slipping back, not making progress as you would expect. I wasn't sure why, and shoulder dystocia was the last thing I thought it would be.
I was convinced that it would end up being an instrumental delivery at best, or a c/section at worst, and was hoping I was wrong.
It was a real shock once I had realised what was happening, and I felt that whatever I tried to do, or wherever I stood I was in the way of someone. They all assured me later that wasn't the case, and I suppose the fact I had never experienced it before made it worse as I had no idea what to expect.
Yes, I think it will help to do a reflection, and I will do that.
