Went in Saturday afternoon at 6 on the 15.07.2006 to be induced it was my due date and as I was diabetic was not allowed to go overdue.
When we got in there they were still quite busy so i had to wait a while for them to put the catheter in. At 9.30pm they put the catheter in(natural way instead of gel) at 11.00pm I got up to go to the toilet and the catheter fell out. Doctor examined me and I was 2-3cm dilated but my cervix was not favourable. They decided not to break my water yet because they babies head was still high. They put the gel in and waited to the morning. At 8 am they came to examine me I had been getting small contractions all night I was still 2-3cm but my cervix was still favourable but bubs head was still a bit high they had to break my waters while someone pushed the baby down so the cord didn’t slip around his neck. Everything went fine and was allowed to walk round to see if I got spontaneous contractions I walked around till 10 had small contractions but not big enough to do anything. So they put the drip in and by 11am I was in established labour.By 4 pm I was getting pretty strong contractions and the midwife examined me and told me I was still only 4cm which was a bit of a let down so I decided to have some pain relief they gave me some morfeine.The morfeine didn’t do much for pain just made me sleepy so I tried to relax a little by 7pm I was getting really restless contractions coming on top of each other with no break and just knew I was in the transition I just couldn’t handle it I decided to go with a epidural I knew I had came so far but the pain was excruciating.As I was getting the epidural I felt like I needed to push and I told the modwife who asked me if I still wanted the epi and I said yes.By 7.30 it was in and I just rested they checked me at 8.30pm and told me I was fully dialated and they said to rest for an hour and wait for the head to come right down and for the epi to wear off so I can push.By 9.35 they said I could push I could start to feel my legs and contractions I was on my knees and gave three good pushes with the first contraction and his head started to come down further then with the next contractions he started to crown after that contraction I started panting until the next contraction with the next contraction I gave a little push then another and his head came out then one more push and his body came out after ten minutes of pushing Sasha Brandon was born 9.45pm 16.07.06 weighiing 7lbs 15oz 47cm long 34cm head.
