I was induced 9 days over, and had a very positive birth. I went in all prepared to have an epidural that just "never came". I later learnt and thank her for it today that my mum told the nurses i was coping really well and to just wait. I went into it trusting that my body knew what to do and just took everything as it came. Every time i had a contraction i tapped my heels on the ground and breathed through my mouth and thought yes every contraction is helping push this baby out. It is totally in your head. I found a position i was comfortable in (bending over a chair in the shower with the hottest water running over my back with dh massaging in hard circles my lower back) and i stayed there for 5 hours lol. I then got the urge to push, its like your body overtakes. I tried to go to the toilet obviously nothing came out! So i got in the bath for like 5 mins but wasnt liking it. Then it was time to push i just stayed on the bed with my legs up and went for it. I too felt like i was "high" and was actually asleep during contractions when i was pushing. All up my labour was 7 hours and i didnt think the contractions were the hardest part. For me that was right at the end when i was just so tired and felt like i couldnt do it anymore. that was my low point but the midwives whipped me into line and then i think it was like 3 pushes and he was out.
Think positive. its all over once the heads out. Good luck.
