Congratulations on Axel! I've just read your birth story and i soundsosimilar to the way mine went with my son., almost 4 years ago. I had a birth plan and that was to have a natural labour, minimal drugs and to go in the bath when I needed it etc. Well, I was 10 days over and my water broke (partly) I then had to be induced on the drip, same as you and so my birth plan went out the window. I was on the drip for 12 hours and after only progressing 3-4cm, bubs was getting distressed and had an emergency c/s.

I'm now 8 weeks preg with Bub No. 2 and now tossing over the idea of having a planned c/s or trying for a VBAC. I'm in two minds becasue my body did not want to labour last time so why would this time be different and also, they said after my son was born, they would not let me go over again or also be induced so that only leaves Mother Nature and she didn't do much for me last time!

Good luck for your recovery and enjoy the time spent with your precious baby
