Induction communication
I was booked in to be induced today due to GD and 95th centile baby (40+0) as an outpatient and called at 10am and told there wasn't a bed available (which I knew would be a possibility) but they would re evaluate at lunchtime and call me. I haven't heard anything and have tried calling a bunch of times since 3pm but can't get any answer from the Birth centre - I know they're understaffed and with other mums, but I still sadly can't shift the way I'm feeling and feel kind of forgotten about.
I feel like absolute crap today and woke up with a fuzzy head and feeling like I'm getting a cold, and I just can't seem to stop crying, I knew they could push my induction back to up to 40+2 which is Sunday, but I really don't know how to get through the next couple of days without constantly feeling like this as I feel like I can't go anywhere or do anything in case they call out whilst I'm out so I'm just sat in a pool of my own sadness which isn't ideal for starting labour either.
Not even sure what I want from this post 😅 I just feel very alone as I haven't told anyone other than my mum (and partner obviously) that I'm being induced as I don't want the influx of more "any movement" messages when I already feel like shit about not going in as even the thought of responding to these messages feels exhausting.
Anyone else in a similar boat?...😞

This sounds familiar 😅 im in a similar boat today...went in at 9am to see consultant and he thiught id probably hear by 12 with a rough time to go in. We popped in to ask if they had an idea so we knew how much time we had/of if was worth travelling back home but they said there were no beds and it was likely to be later this afternoon.
After multiple phone calls, I eventually got through to someone and they said if I dont hear by 8pm then to call again. I have a feeling it wont be today now but im confused as to how this works as they booked me in so now, if it dont get seen until tomorrow, what about those booked in tomorrow??🤔
