[minor post-labour rant] Sometimes I wish people would take me more seriously, or give me some credit for my experience, or something less 'Oh dear Giles, you really don't know shit do you'.
Sorry Kay, I know you meant well, but this has been preying on my mind a bit.
This - or was it 6cm? - is the stage Lisa was stuck at for a while. It's not necessarily very pleasant... and in retrospect, she should have listened to the midwives a bit more then.

Don't think I agree with that. It's possible to be doing okay at 7 cm, but then be exhausted and unable to push by the time one gets to 10.
In fact, I think there's an argument that not progressing for several hours after 6 cm or so is "not okay" by definition.
Ah... I see I'm getting near rant territory. I shall stop, because I know where this rant goes and it's a bit gruesome ;-(
