Please add any comments you wish to make about the above topics:

Labour started immediately after 3rd dose of Prostaglandin (nothing happened with first two doses). Went into full blown contractions (2 min contractions, 20 - 30 seconds off) gas and ai after several hours epidural at 10pm didn't work. Therefore very distressed, pain wise, constantly monitored baby, used self hypnosis to get through every breath + "I AM COMPLETELY CALM" mantra. I think this helped the baby.

Also found it useful to clear before birth -> sleep.
