I'm 38+4 and at my last midwife appointment my midwife has said when I go into labour I need to go straight to labour ward and not to the mlu as I have had high blood pressure a few times last week (no other issues apart from horrendous ms and spd).
I'm absolutely gutted as I was really hoping to give birth on the midwife led unit and was hoping for a water birth.
Please talk to me about your experiences of giving birth on the labour ward and how relaxed was it? Will I still be seen by midwifes or will it all be doctors and consultants? I was really calm.about giving birth before but now I'm dreading it :(
