Just a quick rant
Been booked in for an induction due to medical reasons and a previous very fast labour.
I have been told for 2 weeks the date I’m being induced is the 9th September, arranged childcare around this time.
Received my email late last night with a date of the 10th. I know this is only a day later but my anxiety is now through the roof.
I am so upset, don’t want to keep on at the midwives though as I know they are just doing their jobs. I feel so let down by my hospital this pregnancy for a number of reasons.
Have called this morning and they apologised and have said they have now changed me to the 9th, however they cannot guarantee I will be called on the 9th and just need to wait and see.
Really hoping I go into natural labour beforehand but not holding out much hope for that either.
I have had 2 sweeps, one only being yesterday but she said baby’s head is very low, didn’t have to feel very far at all to feel his head but my cervix is far behind. Not sure what that means but guessing it means no natural labour anytime soon

It’s so stressful when they change dates on you but unfortunately it’s the nature of a hospital that there are unforeseen circumstances, just be mentally prepared ( and childcare prepared) that you may have to move date once or twice. When I was waiting for my induction with my first I had 3 phone calls over 3 days to tell me there wasn’t space for me that day so I was bumped to the next one. Hope things stay in place for you! 🤞🏼
