I'm booked in for induction next Thursday evening at 8pm. When I had my first child I was put in a private room and DH was there with me the entire time. This time from what I can gather I will be put on a ward and DH will not be allowed to stay. I have had a terrible pregnancy, I've had pulmonary embolisms at 11 weeks pregnant, I have diabetes that is usually very well controlled but I've been unable to control it while pregnant, a number of placental haemorrhages, spd and also a risk for pre eclampsia due to a blood clotting disorder. I will also have to stop my fragmin which will increase my risk of getting another clot.
I assumed I would be put in a private room again but have heard that since my last pregnancy the hospital I'll be giving birth in now has an induction ward. I feel sick thinking about. My last labour and birth was traumatic enough. Throughout this whole pregnancy I've been so close to requesting an ELCS because of how terrified I am.
Not sure what to do about it. Has anyone else had experience of induction wards. I'm going to call them and ask about if I can pay for a private room but not sure if I can.
Sorry for the moan.
