@reg265, congratulations on bubs arrival, sounds like you you had a rough go, take as much rest as you can possibly get, you sound absolutely exhausted, but glad to hear you're both well x

Ps. The EXACT same thing happened to me with my youngest boy! Like u I didn't give up till I literally had no choice! I too was exhausted! At least u gave it ur all. U poor thing :( xx

Oh Hun! U must b exhausted!!!! But good on u for persevering!!! Get some well deserved rest! Can't wait to see ur beautiful bubba! Xxx

@donzbub, contractions started 1.20am, got to hospital at 2.30am at 4cm. Baby was posterior and wouldn't turn. Pain was crazy. Stuck it out on gas til about 11.30am when dr said an epidural was my only chance of getting bub to turn and descend, I needed to relax and stop fighting pain. I'd been awake since 5am Sunday and was exhausted. Had my first ever epidural. Had to place it twice. But bub wouldn't turn so couldn't descend into pelvis. My labour stalled at 8cm. OB checked me out at about 2pm, said everything was swelling but not opening, bub still high and stuck. Said I needed a c-section. I was disappointed and anxious but also so exhausted. My first ever intervention for my last baby. Went well, baby delivered at 2.22pm. Will post pic tomorrow. Just wrecked now and sore.

Any progress Hun? @reg265 xx

I'm thinking yep!!! Worth a try? @reg265 ☺️

@carlyanaya,

Nipple twiddling and some heavy petting with hubby? Is that it girls? @donzbub and @C arlyanaya

I can't believe I'm even saying this... Lol but.... A friend of mine was in the same position as u. She couldn't have sex so.... The next best thing... Hubby stimulated her then BAM! Contractions started... I remembered her telling me that after I read ur post... So thought I'd throw it out there ☺️ tmi I no... Apologies. Hehe

I hope it happens for you soon @reg265 they generally say within 24hours? X

They'll probably start late tonight.

Any slight period cramps? Stimulating the nipples I think worked.. I did it for a while.. Lol also moving lots may have helped

@carlyanaya, nothing :-(

@donzbub, haha I just didn't want to have to be induced! Once the contractions started though I wish I hadn't done all that! Such hell lol any progress Reg?

Yay!!!! @reg265 It's gona happen!!!!!! How exciting! Take it easy hunni!!!! Not long now!!!! @carlyanaya that's too funny!!! U really wanted that baby out hey? 😂 hehehe ☺️ xx

I was doing everything to try to stimulate them. Rubbing my nipples, laps up and down stairs, vacuuming.. Eating dates lol

About 5.30 I started having slight contractions. So hopefully not long for you!

@carlyanaya how long til you actually went into labour? I'm still waiting. Really don't want to end up on pitocin in the morning ☹

Exactly at 5 am

Yay exciting! That happened to me as well :)
