My wife was 48 hours. Started labouring Thursday at 9pm, waters broke at 1am Friday, at hospital 4am told to go home as only at 1 cm and to be back in 24 hours if no progress. Labour stopped so spent the day walking and all the exercises they suggested but no luck so got 4 hours sleep and back at hospital 4am Saturday and put on hormone drip at 7am. and baby out was at 9:28pm on Saturday. Had gas and air and an epidural (which didn't take on the left). Only thing on the birthplan that didn't change was the name if it was a girl.
Must add the midwife we had was brilliant, only left her side for 40 min over a 12 hour shift. And she was back in the next afternoon when we left so managed to get her some flowers and sweets.
