Waters broke Monday 1am.. (30th April). I went to Hospital at 6am, sent home.
I was told to come back at 9pm to be induced. The gel and checks happened until yesterday when they decided I should be induced by drip..
So at 2pm I was put in the labour suite and linked to drip.

OH took an unflattering picture of me up.
The contractions came 4 every 10 minutes from about 3pm until 6pm when I decided to have gas and air. I managed up until 8pm when the pains got too much and I asked for an epidural. Around 9pm I was examined and was only 2 cm.. GUTTED..
Later after the epidural (what a dream!) I had a rest.. I was told I wouldn't be checked again until 1am.

When I awoke before 1am the contractions were coming really hard, it was a horrible pressure.
They checked me at 1am to say I was 3cm.. WHA!!!
They then went and said they were thinking about C Section, what were my thoughts. Me and OH decided not too and to be checked again in 2 hours to see if any change in dilation, if nothing then we discussed the C..
By the time it hit 2 - 3am I was saying how the pressure was believeable and I felt like I wanted to push, when they checked I was fully dilated - YAYY!
So they said wait until 4am, then we'd start pushing..
I'll cut out the pushing part and what happened as it wasn't good..
but at 5:17am this morning my LO was born.. 6lb7oz..
