Going home

Currently being induced. Been here for 3 days and been contracting for nearly 4 days. They have eased up in intensity but still tightenings. Won’t be today going on labour and delivery just feel deflated and exhausted. Can I self discharge?

At my midwife appointment yesterday she mentioned asking about Dilapan - its meant to help speed things up apparently. Not sure on your situation or anything but thought I'd share if useful. Wishing you all the luck baby hurrys up!

How my cm are you?? If you’re far along enough ask about breaking your waters mine got broken at 2cm. It sounds like you will have your baby soon though!!

haven’t been checked. I was 2cm before pessary and had pessary in for 30 hours then they told me to remove it myself and that’s been it

Every hospital is so different :/ I’m sure you are but stay active roll on the ball rather than bounce and I’m sure it won’t be long x

just started vomiting so had an injection in my leg but had a tightening as it went it and it was awful. Just constant and now being sick, would rather go home

I feel your pain, with my first I was there for 3 days before anything started moving and I was climbing the walls. I had pessaries twice for 24h each and then gel afterwards, which did get things moving.
I don’t think it would be wise to leave the hospital now, they’ll need to monitor you and baby, I know it’s long and annoying but I’d stay where you are, it’s the best place for you at the moment x

they haven’t really been doing anything. Been on the monitor twice since being here, haven’t checked dilation just keep saying we will let you know. I tell them I am contracting and they put me on a monitor see I am and then go again. They said worst case scenario you have baby here if you progress

It’s so awful so sorry you’re having this experience :( are they basically saying there’s no room on delivery????
