I had to be induced immediately a day after my due date as I had been leaking for 4 days. I was induced at about 8pm at night.
I started getting contractions after an hour but the nurse kept telling me it was discomfort and it would g start working for 24 hours so I spent the night in agony. Tried everything to help myself. Tablets and a bath but nothing helped.
At 8am I was checked and was 3cm and was sent straight to delivery. I got to delivery and was in labor for 7 and 1/2 hours. I demanded an epidural which was put in wrong first! They were sure it was in properly but after half an hour of screaming in pain they believed me and did it again.
This time it definitely worked!
(I swore I wouldn't have one but trust me. It hurts!)
Then it was time to push and the baby's heart rate dropped. Suddenly a whole load of people came in including a baby doctor. It was so scary!
Was the baby ok? Am I?
After two FAILED ventouse and forceps (and an episiotomy) Logan was born healthy 😊
