Scottish blogger Rebecca Meldrum is being induced at 36 weeks due to a 'high risk pregnancy' amid fears her baby may have the Zika virus
A BRAVE blogger is broadcasting the birth of her third child on Facebook under very emotional circumstances.
Scot Rebecca Meldrum, who blogs under the name , has been updating followers of ChannelMum with how her labour is coming along.
She is already mum to 5-year-old Safiyah and Florence, 2, and is expecting another daughter.
But sadly, the 28-year-old's pregnancy hasn't been an easy one, and she is being induced at 36 weeks "due to a high risk pregnancy with very little growth, concerns over my placenta and possible exposure to Zika."
This afternoon she posted her fourth update to explain how she had taken a pessary to try and induce things but to no avail.
Broadcasting live from the family people carrier in the hospital car park, she explained: "I just want something to happen, it's been really frustrating.
"I've been watching birth videos as apparently that is a good way to get things going.
"I think it's going to be a long day. I've been monitored, baby is happy, everything's fine but nothing is happening."
Rebecca added that they were waiting for her to be 2cm dialated so that they could break her waters and induce the birth.
She has been induced before, but her waters broke naturally - and not knowing what to expect was playing heavily on her mind.
She asked: "Has anyone had their waters broken before? I've never been through this.
"I'm early to be induced so I feel like obviously my body isn't ready yet.
"I've never had my waters broken - does it hurt?"
She added that she was going to go and spend some time on her birthing ball, and walking around.
Rebecca added that if her current 24-hour pessary didn't kickstart the birth, she would need to take another one in six hours time - but that presented fresh problems.
She said: "My doctor has said that if I need the next pessary it could just tire out my uterus.
"Little babies get distressed more than big babies when they get induced."
Another concern was that she would go in to labour after 9pm when her husband would be 50 miles away from Aberdeen Maternity Hospital, where she is staying on the induction ward.
She said: "I hope we are close to the end. I just want to be like 'she's here!'
"I feel deflated, it's annoying. I'm the most impatient person ever.
"If I do need another pessary, that will be in for six hours. I want to be on labour ward, that's where all the action is."
