Well my induction didn't exactly go to plan. I went in on the 3rd only to go home that evening as there were a lack of special care beds, I was then re-admitted on the 5th and the induction started with a 24 hour pessary.

On the 6th my waters were due to be broken but yet again there was a lack of special care beds so I was sent to a different hospital. I didn't get to the new hospital until 9.30pm so my waters were due to be broken the following morning. After a few delays, I finally made it onto the labour ward where my waters were broken and drips set up for the induction.

A few hours on and there was a lack of progress even though I was contracting well, the midwife wanted to monitor the baby more efficently so wanted to place a monitor on her skull, unfortunatly it was discovered that baby was coming arm first, a consultant was called who tried to push her arm back in 😱 which failed so I was rushed to theatre for an emergency c section.

We were warned beforehand that her arm could be fractured or shoulder dislocated but thankfully she only suffered bruising..........so finally Evie arrived at 12.05am on the 8th Jan weighing 7lb 9oz 🙂
