iv been in and out of hospital for the last 4 weeks.
First time I was in for four days and they found out on the last day after testing my urine several times a day that it was a urine infection. to be honest I felt brushed off as wouldnt they ov picked that up alot sooner? 
last time they just kept me on a monitor then sent me home with no explanation.
these pains are horrendous. I cant stop my body from pushing and im nearly blacking out from pain. they give me gas and air witch to be honest just takes my mind of it slightly. they give me codeine or somethinf and that doesnt help. iv had pethadene (sp?) that didnt help. just knocked me out.
im 35 weeks and I really cant take this anymore. 
everytime I go there they say my cervix is long and closed.
please tell me theres something they can do. im on the verge of a breakdown.

I had steriods the first time I was in but no morw since then. I dont know if I can handle the pain
God would they not see you earlier!! I hope you are ok and everything goes well, keep updating if you can 
I just tried to sleep it off
theyv said im 1cm dialated. am I going to give birth soon then?
they checked it and it just had a little protein in it.
so now I dont know whats going home. they just sent me home saying everything's fine.
I think ill ask her when I see her next witch isn't for 4 weeks as shes so booked up.
the trace said hes fine. they know he a small baby but they just don't seem to understand why im worried.
on top of all that they lost my notes.
I should be seen every week by now, but she only works one day a week. its ridiculas. one min im dialted the next I'm not. im still always damp. and his movements are hardly there. but if I go hospital they send me home.
boyfriends getting sick of hospitals and the bad treatment too
What is it you want them to do?
If you go in with a set plan in mind and are firm to that (within reason) then they will take note. If you get nervous when speaking to the doctors then write down questions and what you want so you don't forget anything.
Have you requested a scan?
Urine infections can be really painful (I had them about every 2 second when pregnant) have you been following the instructions on the medication to the letter?
How recently gave you had the pethidine? That could be the reason the baby isn't moving so much if its very recent.
You can be up to about 3cm dialated and not be in labour ime, and with the 1cm it can open and close all the time.
Its so hard and frustrating being so far along and in so much pain, 5 weeks sounds like 5 years especially when you are panicked about whats going on but you being so stressed won't help with the pain either, make sure you are resting plenty and having long warm baths often (I practically lived in the bath towards the end of my pregnancies).
Oh and DO NOT under any circumstances google your symptoms that will make you feel worse.
I'm sorry the end of your pregnancy is so rough for you

Its really miserable being so sore, and I know very few women who get to 35 weeks pregnant and don't just want the baby out, but unless there is a risk to you and/or your son they won't induce you
For the pain try baths, hot water bottles, I also rolled up a duvet lay on the couch and got myself comfortable around it (usually by putting it between my knees, laying on my side and resting my bump on it) for the pain take paracetamol every 5 or 6 hours to take the edge off. Get your urine checked weekly and try to get a scan just to set your mind at ease. Count his kicks and keep a note of them, its so easy to think he isn't kicking as much but if its written down then you can actually see it. And remember he is growing so won't have as much room as he did 10 weeks ago so it will be different from then.
If there is any change at all go to the hospital, don't let them make you feel stupid for going in for 'nothing', you are better getting checked and not needing it than needing it and not being checked.
This is the last stretch, you can do it, I promise, this time next month you will be snuggled up with your son and won't give 2 hoots what you went through to get him here
