@LucyLoopyLu thank you! Our story is very similar to yours actually, and baby born only an hour later than yours.
My waters broke spontaneously on Saturday night but with no contractions (PROM) was admitted that night with the expectation that labour would start spontaneously, but it didn't. We walked around the hospital and I expressed and so on on Sunday in order to help bring on labour but no go.
Sunday afternoon they administered antibiotics due to risk of infection and late Sunday evening they started induction for same reason. Induced with Oxytocin drip around 10:30pm Sunday, contractions started soon after, and I asked for a mobile epidural because I had heard how strong induced labour can be. All fine for a few hours, I was definitely feeling it, but assumed it was normal and was able to cope.
First vaginal exam showed no dilation at all, which they thought might be ok as it sometimes takes time, subsequent exams (and breaking of any remaining waters) still showed no dilation at all, and they started talking about potential C-section due to risk of haemorrhage with long labour.
They were also making comments that I shouldn't be feeling that much pain with the epidural on board. I had no idea what was normal and what wasn't, so continued on. By 6:30am or so with absolutely 0cm dilation they strongly recommended a section and we agreed. I was in quite a bit of pain at that point, but luckily baby was happy out the whole time.
They rolled me down to theatre where they tried to use the same epidural line to administer the pain relief for the section... and found that it did nothing. The epidural had failed (due to spinal issues that I have) so I had been feeling everything for God knows how long (it was a relief to know that it wouldn't have been worse with no epidural, I had been wondering how bad it must be with none if what I had was an epidural 🤣). I was having very strong contractions lying on my back with not even gas and air for what felt like ages while they figured that out, then they had to place another spinal, which also failed. They started talking about general anaesthetic but thankfully the third attempt took and baby was out very soon after, at 7:31am, at 8lb 2oz.
