Waters have gone and contractions are 3 mins apart, in a lot of pain
waiting for the CTG to be signed off and then hoping I can get my epidural and this baby boy will be born safely very soon

No I didn’t and it was agony but at least it was a quick labour.

madness as we don’t take teeth out without pain relief, why women aren’t given the relief they ask for promptly is beyond me. I was asking for one for 1.5 hours

Show quote history

Insane isn’t it? From what I remember from having my youngest, 4cm was the magic number for them to let me have an epidural. Great, as long as you’re not one of these women that go from 0 to 100 in super quick time! But as you say, the silver lining with that is at least it was over fairly quickly for you! Hope you’re enjoying newborn snuggles x
