Hi Sacha no i didn't have an easy birth my waters broke on the saturday morning at about 6:30 am went to the hospital and sat there for 24 hours doing all my yoga positions, aromatherapy etc trying to put myself into labour to no avail, started the hormone drip Sunday morning first thing, had a bad midwife who turned it up to quickly so went from no pain to complete agony in a couple of hours and by the time a good midwife that i knew came on at 1pm i was a blubbering mess in the shower screaming for a caesarian. My poor DH who knew how badly i wanted a natural birth was crying too. The good midwife convinced me to have an epidural which i am so glad of now as i was only 2cm dialated at the time. The rest of the day was good, great epidural so no pain and i progressed well. The good midwife got ready to deliver Sara but unfortunately she had other plans and had descended in the posterior position, they thought about giving me a C but after two lots of vaccum an episiotomy and forceps my beautiful darling girl was delivered just before 1 am Monday morning. I then had a post partuim bleed, lost 1.5lt. But all in all we came out ok and she is beautiflu and i suppose that is all that matters
