Induction booked for 9:30am on Tuesday 10th September(12 days overdue).
Arrive at hospital. They decide that as im 3-4cm that its best to break my waters instead of using any pessery. No places on the labor ward so had to wait until 12pm on Wednesday! (13 days overdue).
Was not happy staying in hospital.

1pm my waters were broke and meconium was everywhere. I was terrified as meconium in waters is a sign baby is in distress.
No contractions atall. At 3pm the drip was started. Contractions didn’t start for a while. By 4pm I was in agony. I had straps on my tummy monitoring the baby and the drip in the other hand.v frustrating as I was in so much pain I needed to move about.
Contractions came at 3 mins apart then 2 and then constant with around 15seconds break. I wasn’t coping It was so painful. The midwife checked me and said I was 4cm. at this point I was begging for an epidural as I had no pain relief with my first and I was coping better at 10cm then than at 4cm now.
I tried some gas and air and 10mins later another midwife said I was 6cm. He gave me diamorphine to try instead of an epidural. It took the edge of the pain and allowed me to relax between contractions. All of a sudden I felt different and my husband said to midwife im sure shes pushing.

She told me I wasn’t dilated enough and not to push. The pain from not pushing was immense. I couldn’t stop myself I started to push, another midwife come in and told me to do what I felt was right. I was pushing 16mins and as the head was coming out my husband just looked so worried.

His head crowned and the ring of fire was certainly that. The next few pushes nothing happened. The midwife looked worried and called the Dr. He come in and told me he was going to have to get a bit physical. The shoved and tugged and after a lot of wriggling got his shoulders out.

The first thing the camp midwife said. ‘oh jeez, oh he huge!’ :rofl:

Born at 7:16pm on 11th sept 2013/.
