so yesterday 8/11/16 I got induced at 9:45am as soon as they did the gel I started to get like period pain cramp which was copeable went for a walk and I started to get gradually worse that's when my contractions were happening and I was getting them every couple of minutes. After a while the midwife checked if I had dialated and I was only 2cm (worse pain ever when she examined me to check the dialation) about half an hour later I was bouncing on the ball and I felt a little pop, couple minutes later I stood up and my waters had gone, that's when I starting feeling the contractions getting stronger, they were happening regularly that's when they quickly whizzed me to delivery suite.... 
As I got there I had pethadine which made me so sleepy and weak but the contractions were so unbearable!! Tried to have a bath but couldn't cope, about 6:30pm I decided I wanted to have the epidural (I felt so disappointed in myself as I didn't want to have it) as she did that the pain started to ease off I managed to fall asleep for a while and couldn't feel the contractions just pressure, about 9pm she checked to see how dialated I was and I was 10cm!!! We was all so shocked midwife said she's gonna leave me for 2 hours to see if baby would move down a bit more so it's easier for me, about 11:30pm it was time to push was very tiring but by 12:28am my lil princess was born weighing 6lb 15.5oz and 49cm long.... I'm so proud of my partner and mum for being there for me!
