Probably indicates a need for more intervention, which I know Hannah didn't want. dammit.

Not necesarily. Sometimes these things just go into a rest phase. As long as they're still both doing OK, there shoudn't be any need for intervention.

Hug voucher redeemed, and sent back you you with love.

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.

I have a mental picture of us all doing lots of pacing up and down wherever we happen to be while we are waiting for text messages?

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 ;-(

[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.
