Ok finally got my birth story! It's massive so I apologise, feel free to skip it!
Well as you a know I was moaning about the latent stage from Wednesday night onwards. Was really really painful contractions that got to about 4-5 mins apart and then stopped! Midwife checked me on Wednesday and sent me home. Another midwife checked me on the Thursday said I would have a baby before Monday so I was all excited!
Friday arrived and I was in agony! Was so so painful and I was just shattered! Midwives kept trying to put me off going in. Eventually, thanks to back up from those of you on Facebook I insisted on going in to get checked was delighted to be 4-5 cms and they went to get the pool organised for me 
This should be the bit where I point out my birth plan had 3 points. No junior doctors, drug free as possible and no forceps. Pfft if only I knew!
After 2 lovely hours in the pool I was desperate to push but the midwives weren't sure. I asked to be examined cause I was in such pain. Turned out I was still 4-5! I cried. A lot. Lol and begged for pain relief! Had some pethadine which made me spew and then I don't remember anything! Next thing I remember is asking for an epidural 5 hours later! I was 7cms but midwife discovered minisooty was back to back and in a funny position and would still be ages, so I was sent away to the labour unit for epidural. Again I have no memory of this all I remember is crying that I wanted to push and the junior doctor (grr) telling me I wasn't allowed to!
Got the epidural at about 5am and the relief was amazing! Midwife broke my waters and there was a tiny bit of meconium. They weren't worried and gave me a drip to speed up contractions. Doc gave me an hour to push before he'd take me to theatre. I was adamant I did not want forceps so I pushed and pushed! I managed to move her down a bit but she was well and truly stuck. So off to theatre I went. The staff were amazing! I was in floods of tears but they were fantastic! Doctor thought I was at risk of shoulder dystocia so my legs were way up in stirrups and then shoved unceremoniously when minisooty was born. Thankfully she was fine and not even a bruise from the forceps, they just turned her and guided her out with my pushes. The relief when I saw her was immense and I was just so grateful she was ok. Doc stitched me up, 4 stitches so I think that's good and I was sent off to recovery.
Sorry so long, I tried to keep it brief! I am slightly struggling with not having the birth i planned. So happy minisooty is safe and well and my body although very sore and bruised appears ok but it's not how I had imagined it. The staff were fantastic throughout and to be honest I think that's what is keeping me sane about the birth, i trusted them completely. Even went some way to cure my fear of juniors!
Bit teary writing about it. It scares me that there are hours where I remember nothing. Am in two minds about requesting my notes just to find out what happened.
Anyway, will post proper catch up soon! Hope everyone is ok, gizzy I am sending some serious labour vibes your way!
