Just to let you know after a 7 day latent phase I had my baby on Tues just gone. Waters broke 11pm Sunday , was 2cm and active labour didn't establish so I was given an epi & put on a drip at 9 am Tues. Epi was not at all painful & such lovely relief from the last weeks pains! At 6pm I was 9cm and so at 9pm I began to push. Unfortunately her heartrate dropped & she was not turning as she needed so we ended in theatre with emergency forceps delivery. Traumatic but we have a healthy beautiful daughter. Good luck to all.
