Good morning ladies! Thought I'd fill you in on my birth story, was hiking to wait until home but who knows when that will be?
I came in at 8:30 on sat for induction but due to an emergency patient didn't even get monitored til 12pm - I was contracting every 5 mins already and was 1cm dilated. They popped the pessary in at 3pm and the contractions ramped up to every 3mins and v intense. Had bath and codeine and DP got sent home. At 2am midwife came and gave an evil sweep (really bad) was 2cm. All contractions stopped so did 25 laps of maternity ward!
Woke at 4am to loud pop as waters went, contracting every 1.5 mins took 4 h to get to 4cm by which point I was crawling on the floor in agony! Went to labour ward and had shitloads of gas and air and pethidine. Was 9cm by 2pm and pushed from 3-4pm. Got him out pronto when they went to do an episiotomy! Immediate Sunday dinner and apple crumble followed by a shower.
Jamie's an absolute star, sleepy and quiet. Very placid famous last words only thing is he's too lazy to eat! He also hadms a tongue tue and I have no colostrum so we've started bottle feeding tonight. His sugars are perfect so hopefully we can go home when he agrees to eat!
Good luck to everyone still waiting, hope you get your deliveries in time for Christmas! 
my advice is take all the drugs you need and swear as much as you want! 
there's no prizes for being a martyr!
