My baby girl arrived yesterday at 3.51pm, similar to above. My waters broke Saturday night at 37+2, I was induced yesterday morning at 9am, contractions began 11am and gave birth at 3.51pm. I hated the gas and air so I had diamorphine. She’s 6lbs 7oz and just perfect xx

congratulations! Can i ask what you didnt like about the gas and air, and how you found the diamorphine? i dont find gas and air does much for me but had been reluctant to try anything different in case i have a weird reaction!

My little one arrived on the 25th at 11.05am. 7lb5 at 38 weeks 6 days. Waters broke 6am on the 23rd but contractions hadn't started so was booked to be induced 6am the following morning if labour didn't start naturally. Still No contractions by morning but labour ward didn't have any beds so was left on a ward where induction wasn't possible and told I was next in the queue. Ended up being offered the gel to help induce labour but when examined I was already 3cm diliated so couldn't have it. Night came and still no contractions until about 11pm when contractions started coming on natural. The only pain relief allowed on the ward was paracetamol and couldnt keep anything down so that was no help. At about 6am they did my observations and I had a temperature and fever. All of a sudden everyone kicked into gear and I was actually taken notice of. Was transferred to labour ward to have antibiotics and examined to find I was 8cm and the midwife thought I would be able to start pushing very soon but I was too far gone for any pain relief other than gas and air. Got to 10cm and started pushing but it wasn't happening, baby was coming down but as soon as I stopped pushing he would spring back so after a good hour they made the decision to use a suction cup to give me a hand as well as having a cut. Eventually he made appearance at 11.05am but had to be taken off for antibiotics because he had been left more than 48hours after my waters broke and I had the fever. We are still in hospital now both on antibiotic drips due to the high risk of infection after being left too long after my waters had broken. Hoping to go home today if all is well with baby as I'm now off my IV and onto oral antibiotics.

gosh, i find that all quite shocking! How are you feeling? Glad you and baby are ok considering, and that you can get home soon.

I felt like I was gonna pass out on the gas and air, it just didn’t feel right - I was tryna breathe through my contractions and wasn’t natural for me to breathe in the air - but the morphine is a needle and it’s great, it makes you drowsy and lasts about 2 hours - really good xx

did it have any effect on the baby? i'm asking because i'm planning a homebirth and the midwives said i can ask my dr for a perscription of diamorphine to have on standby, but i want to avoid anything that might mean the baby might need to go to hospital for treatment after....

I don’t think so. I had to stay in for 24 hours after because my waters broke more than 24 hours before delivery - but my baby girl is perfect so I don’t think there’s any effect xx

They say the diamorphine can slow down the labour process by making baby sleepy but it doesn't always happen. Definately research all avenues

I think diamorphine and pethadine are very similar? I had 2 doses of pethadine with DS and the only way it affected him was that he was a bit sleepy for 24 hours and that was it. He fed normally and the only reason we had a 3 day stay in hospital was because I had an EMCS

I was induced on the hormone drip due to my waters breaking more than 24 hours before. My contractions started getting close 11am - I had morphine about 1pm and baby came at 3.51pm. So pretty quick for me! Xx

Every birth and everyone reacts differently. Glad it was over so quick for you x

Gas and air did nothing for me Personally,I gave up with it! Had diamorphine twice,fabulous stuff but the effects don't last long,maybe 1-2 hours. My active labour was 8 hours til she was out so was happy with that and baby was fine just a bit sleepy the first day which isnt a bad thing when you're exhausted from labour lol xx

yeah i dont think the gas and air does much for me either. ive decided to take the perscription for diamorphone to keep on standby but only if i really cant bear the pain. The midwife said the problems are more likely if you have 2 shots . my last labour the pain i thought i would die it was so bad i was throwing up about a dozen times. my daughter it was not so bad as that so i think having it for emergency is reassuring.
