I can totally identify with that "rabid animal" feeling because I was the same way pushing! Holy cow!
How'd you do with your hypnobabies? Mine wasn't so useful for me in the 2nd half of my labor. I'm interested to hear how you did/didn't use it.
I may pm you... later this week maybe. Or if you get a quick sec you can just reply on this thread, I'll keep checking back!
