MY beautiful daughter arrived on Sunday after a bit of a rubbish labour.
I was brought in for induction on Thursday, 1cm dilated, uneffaced. I was given the propess pessary and left for 24 hours.
The following day (3pm) I was told by the registrar (lets call him registrar A) I would have my waters broken and be put on syntocinon as things had started to thin out.
It was 2am before I was taken to the delivery suite. Only to be told the registrar (registrar B) now on duty wouldn't be able to break the waters. I was then given prostin gel and taken back down to the ward.
Again it was delayed and I wasn't taken back to the delivery suite until registrar A had returned at midday on Sunday, very angry about the fact I still hadn't been helped along successfully. It took him around 10 minutes to rupture my waters (the prostin did nothing) and get me set up on Synto.
3 hours later I was in active labour with very strong contractions every 2 minutes for a minute. It became clear that baby was OP as I was feeling the contractions in my spine (oooouch)
I asked for an epidural but wasn't able to get one until 4 hours later. After the epidural I managed to get a few hours sleep while we waited for me to dilate and baby to descend.
Eventually I started to feel like I had to push and 2 hours later baby Alice arrived after a normal delivery. I had to have an episiotomy but am recovering well./ She was born 6:11am after 18 hrs labour 7lb6 and 54 cm long
