Hmmm come to think of it, I did start getting mega leg cramps straight after each contraction near the end. Must have been the baby pressing a nerve or something on the way down.

I can't say enough about EPIDURALS!! Total bliss. My midwife wasn't mucking around for the delivery due to me have high blood pressure - I have to say having my waters broken and having the drip inserted into my arm was the most painful part - after that including having the epidural inserted I don't remember anything happily just over 5 hours from my waters being broken our beautiful baby girl Briar was delivered - having even avoided a c section (which everyone at the hospital thought would happen) I delivered naturally!

Totally agree with you Hannibal, Epi's rock!!!! I hated my labour, I was induced and it was pretty full on, and then had the epi (which I didn't even feel going in) and it was great. This time around I am most likely having an Elective C section (4th degree tear with DD) so am kinda a bit freaked about that.
All the pain seems to disappear once you have your baby in your arms though, and its all worth it!!!!

Hannibal, your labour sounds nearly exactly like mine. Except I didn't feel any injections (probably because I was sucking that gas super hard) and the damn epi didn't work coz it was too late! And yes, totally expecting a c-s and it was 5.5hours after waters got broken that I had my bubba naturally too!

I was scared but have resigned \myself to the fact that this is what has to happen to get the bundle at the end, she might be an onl child though. Not sure I can take another 40 weeks, i'm over it now!!!
