Only just saw this topic, so here goes...

We didn't have too much of a plan. i had decided on a few details but couldn't make up mind on drugs. So we didn't have too many expectations.
In the end it was good I didn't have a set plan for labour. I was sent to hospital at 38 weeks as they thought I was starting to show sign of pre-eclampsia. Thankfully i didn't stay in hospital for the last 2 weeks.

I went up for my 40 week visit to be told I was in labour. I didn't end up having any drugs and got as far as pushing for 2 hours before they decided my baby was "stuck". The epidural didn't work and I had to be knocked out.
DD ended up going without a feed for about 3 hours while the nurses waited for me to wake up and get my permission for DH to bottle feed her.

Ended totally different to how I expected.
