Thank you for all the advice - just want to let you all know that I delivered a healthy baby boy on April 9th. After three days of trying to induce and having no effect, the doctors decided to put me on drip. First I had my waters broken artificially and was then put on oxytocin. Labour lasted for around 11 hours and at the end of it all I had a fairly quick & normal delivery with the pushing stage lasting less then 45 minutes. The doctors & mid-wives were absolutely wonderful and I managed to pull through without any epidural or drugs. The only thing is I was strapped to the bed through the entire process but I guess I was mentally prepared for that, thanks to the advice from some of you guys, but the nurses were extremely supportive and would instruct me to breathe and relax.
Aprat from some discomfort as a result of the episiotomy I am perfectly fine and so is my lil bub.
THANK YOU!
