..I am 34 weeks and I have polyhydramnios (excess fluid)
I was admitted to hospital on friday with suspected pre-term labour - it wasn't, thank god!
However, I am SO uncomfortable and fed up!
I cant eat, cant sleep, cant move easily or walk far, have awful reflux and nausea, really strong BH all day and night and back pain.
I have a 5 year old ds to care for too, so am feeling like a really rubbish mummy at the moment
I have a scan to check babys growth and my fluid levels a week on monday (I will be 36 weeks by then) and was wondering if they would consider a controlled ARM/induction?
I know a lot of my discomfort/problems are due to the increased fluid and that PROM/prem birth is more likely anyway with polyhydramnios.
Thoughts? What would you do? (NEVER thought I would EVER consider induction by the way - it was the one thing in my last pregnancy I was scared of!)
