That child birth does infact sting a bit. Just thought you should know 
(Oh yes. It's a late "that was it" thread. Turn back now if you're over due and fed up because these threads never help
)
As you know, had the sweep last thursday.. lost a little plug, that was it.
Induction was tuesday.
Was terrified.. as REALLY wanted to do things natural. Was hoping for a birthing pool with some gas and air.. but not only does induction increase chances of needing more intervention - all the women in my family had ended up needing c-sections because they just weren't big enough.
Turned up at the hospital at 11am.. went in to labour at around 4pm.
Contractions were veryyy painful and kept me up all of that night.
Checked me over several times.. "still only 1cm dilated"
About 12:30pm the next day got checked over "only 3cm"
They were debating whether or not to just send me to a ward as it was progressing so slowly. Decided to keep me in a bit longer.
Two of them chatted about whether to check me again in 2 hours or 4.. they decided 4.
Contractions were so painful though, i got checked 2 hours later anyway.
No pain relief as apparently they can't give it till you're atleast 4cm?
A very surprised midwife goes "erm.. okay.. well the head's there *points to just above vagina* so i'm gonna need you to start pushing now okay?
"
"Pain relief? O_O"
"You don't have time love, so push!"
Good lord.
It stung like a bitch.
Amazingly I didn't need a c-section.. and i'm quite proud of myself that I did get him out on my own.
However.
I now have several sets of stitches going in several directions because the little bugger RIPPED ME SIDEWAYS
Walking still kills as does trying to pee..
But he's a cute little sod so I suppose I might forgive him one day
But yes.
