Went for one just now and they've booked me in for another on Sunday. Apparently as I'm long and narrow they can't even touch the cervix. Failing the second sweep on Sunday I have to go to hospital for an induction. The hospital has been listed as 3rd worst in the Country for MW:Patient care and I've also wasted £250 on a lovely birthing pool that it now looks as though I'll never get to use. Only last month I thought I was going to be able to use the lovely Birthing Centre literally at the top of my road. Some stupid man decided to shut it and now I have to go 30mins by car (more with traffic) to have what I can only see as being a fairly hellish birth. "Oh, if you end up in XX we can't guarantee you a dark or quiet room" said one of the Dr's last week. Great.
Please someone cheer me up. I feel like a failure on a time limit :(
