nellnell that was active labour according to my discharge papers sent to the MCHN.

I was in a bad way with Jaidan because my waters broke at 39 weeks and nothing happened so they had to induce me the next day. I was in labour for about 4 days, probably a few hours short of that. The start was fine, it was hitting the end of the first day that killed me. I was so exhausted by the end of it as I refused to take sleeping tablets because they scared me. The OB wanted to give me a CS but I refused on day 3 and that night he said it would be best for bub but because he wasn't in distress I refused. The next day his heart rate dropped a lot during the contractions and they were really worried he was in distress so said it was necessary but by the time the OB came he said Jaidan was too far down and it would be more dangerous to pull him back up to get him o ut. I was 7cm by that stage. Jaidan was born and sent to nicu because he had sepsis and breathing difficulties.
