Get the midwife to come to ur home much quicker that’s what I did, plus it didn’t work 1st time for me anyway

My friend waited 5 days

I was induced and had the same as you, called at 7am; no bed, called at 12pm; no bed. I finally called at 9pm and they said to go in and started the induction at 11pm.

I got a call at mid day on the Monday to go in at 7pm and head straight to the delivery suite. Got another phone call at 4pm to say go to the are instead as there wasn’t any room. Stayed over night just in case and then late Tuesday morning they did the pessary( could have broken my water but said it would be longer and more painful). Pessary fell out around 9pm and they checked could break my water but no room so had to wait until 10am on the Wednesday morning. It is annoying but do something nice, we went out for a lunch then had a chilled afternoon with a nap and watched some tv.

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Hospital bag (UK)

What did everyone pack for their section? I'm staying in for 3 days due to mental health, not really sure what I'll need to bring, feeling very nervous. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
