hi i had a baby girl saturday 20th october i was 11 days overdue she was delivered after 26 hours of labour by emergency c-section. the cord was thin babys heartbeat was low and i was exausted. my labour was induced and started with strong contractions every 2 mins. i just wasnt dilating fast enough as contractions didnt last long. around 30 seconds. thats a bloody long time with just gas and air as pain relief. I HAD 2 EPIDURALS THEY TOOK THE FIRST 1 OUT AND RE-DID IT THINKING IT WAS DONE WRONG TURNED OUT THAT THE SECOND 1 WAS THE SAME AND A EPIDURAL JUST HAD NO EFFECT ON ME. MY BABY GIRL IS CALLED ELAINE MAE AND SHE WEIGHED 6 POUND 10 AND HALF SHE WAS BORN AT 11:16AM
