Wow, I'm sure you've all read about induction day. It was so frusrating going through everything then being told her head had pushed my cervix back. I'll start from the good bit I guess.
I'm not sure what time it was (the day is still abit of a shock to me!) but the midwife dealing with me decided to pull my cervix forward. I was afraid, but, it had to be done. That was when I got my first taster of gas & air, which is fabulous, haha! Anyway after she did that they saw I was 4cm dilated and sent me off to have my waters broken. At 5pm they broke my waters and after 45 minutes I was still having contractions (finally feeling them!) but they were irregular. The midwife said they expect them to start up straight away and because they hadn't she sent off for the drip. Well, pretty soon they started getting stonger and stronger and closer together. It went so quickly I didn't know what the hell was going on. I had someone apologising for putting needles in me and missing veins while I was in so much pain (because the head was crowning but I didn't know that) and I really couldn't care less about my arm! Well anyway, I said, "I need to go for a poo I'm sorry if I do." and they decided to check to see how far I was before they started the drip. Next thing I hear is "she's fully dilated, come look mum!" What? I asked if I'd had the epidural already.. I really was so confused! Where had all those hours gone? What happened to the slow back labour I was meant to be having? What time was it? What was happening? Well then it started "push" "push" "pant" and there she was. 9.10pm.
It happened so fast. When they put her on me I was shaking and crying and asking what had happened!
I don't remember alot of it. It did hurt but I would do it on just gas & air again. It was amazing. If you don't want pain relief, don't have it. You can do it, if I can, anyone can.
I'm sure I missed bits but it was wonderful.
It really was perfect, just like she is!
