My birth story.... I was induced 2 weeks early due to gestational diabetes.. i went it and had pessary at 1.30pm contractions came thick and fast from 5.30ish pm... got examined at 7.30pm was 3 cm dilated and asked for the pethidine as my labour was back to back very painful, got re examined at 12.30pm to be told i was 4cm and could go down to delivery suite to start gas and air. tried to monitor baby's heart beat couldn't find it due to being back to back so they broke my waters at 1.51am and princess was born at 1.55am. She was 7lb 10oz born and doing amazing ❤❤
