UK mamas - Question about Badger Notes!

I call my midwife that booked it in then called labour ward at 8am the day of and then they will tell you a time to go in as if busy they may have to push you back a day or later in the day evening

This will depend more on your trust than the app. My induction in August was scheduled by my community midwife and then I called the ward on the day to confirm they had a bed for me.

I’m thinking if I haven’t heard from them by Wednesday, give them a call and ask for an update?

mine has been arranged by the doctors at the actual hospital.
When I called the other week the midwife confirmed I have been put on the referral list for week beginning the 15th, so I’ll wait/check daily (more like 10x daily) for an appointment then if I don’t see anything, have a call or a letter by Wednesday/Thursday I’ll give them another call. 🤷‍♀️

Have you guys planned induction yourself or been told you need it for medical reasons? I wanted to plan an induction because my last labour was so quick, but my midwife said I cant??

I’ll give you the back story.

1st pregnancy, I ended up getting a severe kidney infection. That is something my body has never really fully recovered from. So was induced at 37+5 as they also found she was passing meconium in the womb. (2013)

2nd pregnancy I went to 40wks. On my due date I woke up being sick, like coffee grounds. I was sent to the hospital and they decided to induce me that day, because of the vomit and because my son’s growth was very sporadic on scans. He was born at 40+1.

3rd pregnancy (this one) - everything had been perfect up until 33wks. I started having severe tightenings, turns out I tested positive for pre-term, nothing happened. Sent home. Went back 2 weeks later, routine check up and they kept me in again for the tightenings. Since the back end of 32wks I’ve been feeling poorly, so 3 weeks of being constantly unwell. So I begged my doctor to do something as was diagnosed with severe SPD and he suggested induction at 38wks after weeks of complaining…

About the pain I was in constantly and how poorly I was feeling all the time. So not so much medical but in a sense it is.

Ok makes sense, I just wanted it because I don't want to give birth in the car 🤦🏽‍♀️

Oh god, I guess you live far from the hospital? I mean you can ask for elective induction or c-section (induction is from wk 38 and section is wk 39 might be different at your hospital) but you literally have to keep asking and asking until they agree! It took me over 3 weeks of crying, begging and arguing with my doctor to get it!
