My 1st baby wasn't late but she was induced on her DD cause my BP went very high and I started losing weight. I ended up with an episiotomy but only had peth and gas for pain so no epidural. She was forceps too.
Looking back (it was 17 yrs ago) I didn't know anything and spent the whole labour on my back in the bed so I was damn lucky it wasn't a c/s in the end.
