My waters broke on their, but labour did not start, and my bp was rising, along with Nina's heartrate dropping, so I was induced with the drip. Within 2 minutes labour had started, and I had contractions 2 minutes apart for the entire labour. Nina was also in posterior labour. After 7 hours and no pain relief, I tried the pethadine, which didn't work, then had an epidural. Nina was born an hour after having the epidural go in. As it wasn't in for very long, I was able to walk around an hour after she was born.

ETA: I would have loved to have a drug-free birth, and still feel to this day I caved in with the drugs. I still regret having the epidural.
