Thanks for sharing. We've had similar complications (resulting in two emergency C-sections -- one after a lengthy labour, the other was one month premature so completely by surprise), but were fortunate in that everything worked out in the end. Trust in the doctors and nurses -- they know what they're doing even if you don't. Also, be prepared for the unexpected and be willing to roll with the punches (that goes for parenting generally as well). With our first, we did up a nice little "birth plan" with seven points that we wanted to achieve during labour. We ended up 0 for 7 but still had a healthy baby and that was really all that mattered in the end.
