Thanks all 
If you really want to hear about birth I'll try and keep it short and apologies MrsH and Engels but I am clearly just crap at giving birth 
Due date last Wednesday. Crux started Friday early am, built up to quite regular then everything stopped around 6am. Spoke to hospital as thought my waters might be leaking, they said no just discharge (sorry!) Odd ctx in day but no pattern then from 4pm started again and built from every half hr to every 10 mins. Ctx then slowed down again. Called hospital as again thought waters gone as pink fluid, they said to head in to get checked even though ctx not at 5mins yet.
Went to hospital at 2am they confirmed waters had gone but ctx had stopped in car and had only had two in last hr. Had 3 close together while in exam room so they sent us up to ward to wait in room for them to build. Told would have to be induced 24hrs after waters broke if baby not out.
Waited in room all day, no ctx at all. Asked to be induced but told by very uninterested midwife (day shift) that labour ward wouldn't as too busy. No monitoring of baby after initial entry (
).
Night shift came back (midwife who admitted us surprised we were still there) she monitored baby as soon as arrived. We asked again if we could start induction earlier and she said no problem! Pessary put in at nine pm. Ctx started again quite quickly and Stage 2 labour established by 11pm. Bloody painful, baby was OP position and ctx really strong. On labour ward given g&a and 5ml pethadine. Only 4cm dilated and ctx not regular. By this point is had 4 hrs sleep since Thursday night and was shattered.
Senior midwife suggested epidural which was done and we settled down for long wait (same happened with E who was OP and my ctx never regulated so we knew it could be long haul).
6am checked and only 4 possibly 5 cm dilated but baby happy and all ok, then suddenly heart rate dropped low twice. They put a clip on head (still 5cm dilated) and we watched heart rate drop from 140bpm to 47. Consultant called for emcs and we were rushed to theatre. Suddenly 11 people all round, transferred across bed and they check heart rate which was back at 140bpm. Consultant decided to take blood from baby to check if needed emcs or whether whatever causing distress had been moved during transfer. She discovered that I was fully dilated and head down so got ventouse and we pushed/pulled him out. He was taken by paediatric to be checked. I then had placenta stuck so after an hour of trying various things they had to physically remove it (bloody horrific) and then I finally got to see/ skin to skin/ feed my baby.
We had to stay in for observations for 24hrs as "you delivered 24hrs after your waters broke".
(I cannot figure out if there are risks to baby who isn't born within 24hrs if waters breaking, why the policy is to only start induction 24hrs after waters break...?)
We are home and fine now, I've for various antibiotics, injections and painkillers to take and feel very batttered and bruised but so thankful to have Jonah home safe.
Everyone at hospital was amazing except for this day midwife. It was very scary for a while and according to my notes it took me 8 mind to go from 5-10cm dilated (I think the shock!)
