partner has just left. Feeling very alone and sad tbh 
When I was supposed to have my section with my last, I was offered a Tuesday or Thursday!
Be a pest!!!
Hang in there. The period cramps are how mine started and then things get going, so I’d take that as a good sign. Inductions can be slowSo 24 hours pessary was put in just after 3. All my self induction techniques didn’t work as my cervix was still so far back and not dilated.
Getting period cramps now but won’t be checked for another 3 hours
You’re doing great. Is your husband not allowed to stay throughout?I’ve got mine tomorrow! Glad there’s a few people in here I’m very similar times too! Hope both of your scans went well!
Can you find the number for the maternity department anywhere? I know some trusts you can self refer straight to them (not in mine though). Or I would ring first thing and insist someone rings back that morning and if not ring back in the afternoon and keep pestering. Tell them you think you are further gone. How far gone do you think you are?
I think they may be contractions as it’s not constant. They come in waves I guess but don’t last long and no where near as intense as with my previous children. My whole belly is going hard with them. I’ll see when they eventually monitor me again I guess. Nope he can come back tomorrow morning, obviously unless I go into active labour throughout the night and get transferred to deliveryHang in there.

doesn’t feel right going through this alone. I have a huge fear of hospitals as well so I’m not coping well 
Ohh I’ve just finished testing my blood sugar every day! Had to do it 4x one day and 3x the next for a week! Results today - NO diabetes- just a ‘huge’ baby apparently! Waiting to see what the consultant says tomorrowI’ve had such a frustrating day. Went for my final growth scan and both babies are over 95th and 7lbs EACH! So the sonographer sent me to the midwife who said I might have diabetes so need to test my blood sugar everyday. The sonographer also said they aren’t low enough to look like theyre making their way out anytime soon. I asked about my c section date and got told there a massive list and they couldn’t fit me until 1St December. I would be 43 weeks at that point. I thought my issue would be keeping them in not getting them out! I’m so miserable and uncomfortable just at a loss at what to do. Going to have to just beg for an induction again now it seems like.
No point to this post just a rant 🥲
. Good luck!
it wasn’t a lot though, and I did need to wee a bit at the time. My other day just said jaysus don’t go into labour we are meant to be going on holiday tomorrow (cheers)If you’ve had a few trickles, I’d call triage and go get checked outHas anyone here experienced their waters breaking before?
The only time I’ve given birth I was induced so I have no idea how it feels.
I have a terrible pelvic floor and tend to piss myself slightly if I sneeze etc
But.. I was just about to get in the shower and I felt a little treakle of wee coming out and I was like wtf I didn’t even sneeze, so I kind of ‘held’ myself if that makes sense, as if I was holding in a wee, then a bit more came out, but I literally couldn’t tell if it was just wee or not but I had no control over it
It’s stopped now, I had a shower and a tiny bit more came out, now I just feel normal and no longer need a pee but I’m just being paranoid?! I’m only 35 weeks so hoping it’s not anything to be worried about because it’s too early?!
So sorry you’re alone. I hate how different hospitals vary.I think they may be contractions as it’s not constant. They come in waves I guess but don’t last long and no where near as intense as with my previous children. My whole belly is going hard with them. I’ll see when they eventually monitor me again I guess. Nope he can come back tomorrow morning, obviously unless I go into active labour throughout the night and get transferred to delivery
turns out I was.At the hospital here they don't let twin mommas go full term. 3 friends have had twins and they've gone in approx. 2 weeks beforehand either naturally or with a scheduled C section so this is super strange!!
Honestly have a small glass and try and just relax! It’s absolutely ridiculous how you’re being treated. Can’t “fit you in” is just nonsense. Speak to PALS or the clinical director at the unit and try and stay calm and don’t be fobbed off until you have a plan you’re happy with. You’re clearly superwoman already though - I’ve got one 7lb baby on board and I just have no idea how you’re coping with double that!! Amazing xx
I’m not too sure but possibly already 12-13 weeks. I’m going to give my drs a call tomorrow morning and see what they say. If she still doesn’t call me back then I will have to give my maternity hospital a call see if there is anything they can do.
my waters broke with my first and they trickled our all day then gushed everywhere about 10 hours later. You can tell if it’s your waters as it ‘pools’ if you sit for a long time then stand you will feel it. I also thought it was a bit ‘thicker’ than water and it had a smell like bleach.Has anyone here experienced their waters breaking before?

Have you smelt it? Does it smell like wee? Could it be sweat (had this with my lastHas anyone here experienced their waters breaking before?

) put a sanitary towel on and see if there’s anymore. I feel like I’m speaking from experience, but every baby I’ve had they’ve broken my watersAww I know this feeling. I had the pessary then three lots of gel and they would always say when they would be coming to examine me before moving to the next stage and then wouldn’t come til hours later and honestly it killed me. Hang in thereSo 24 hours pessary was put in just after 3. All my self induction techniques didn’t work as my cervix was still so far back and not dilated.

I think we have similar due dates (mines 29th Nov) and the past week or so my pants have been a lot wetter than normal and when I think I’m done weeing more suddenly comes out so I’ve been paranoid too but I think it might just be because baby’s head is so low and really pushing on my bladder and everything now!Has anyone here experienced their waters breaking before?

How do you mean? Did you find out the gender and not believe them?
