38 weeks and have some questions.

I'm seeing a consultant tommrow after going to docs last Friday, to see about being induced early due to many reasons:
1- I live in a block and its on the first floor, it doesn't sound bad but it's taken me at least 20+ mins the last few weeks to get up the stairs due to pain and being breathlessness.
2- walking up the stairs has caused me to have asthma attacks and by the time I reach the top I'm often sick in the toilet
3- I haven't sleept more than 3-4 hours a night for the last two weeks
4- I can't eat due to the fact the food gets stuck in between what feels like my throat and tummy
4- I've also had fake labour pains for the last 2 months, I've been rushed to hospital many times and nothings ever been done, no explanation.


What are the chances of him inducing me? If I wasn't in this much pain I'd wait till he was ready but I just can't. Please don't say "this is normal" that's driving me nuts.

Poor you, that sounds horrible. I don't have any advice to give but I didn't want to read and run. Hope you have your baby soon!

Hiya,
I've got lots of health problems and disabled. I take a lot of very strong medication even when pregnant. The absolute earliest they will do my c section is 39 weeks, and that's despite all the severe pain and debilitating symptoms.
Good luck , stay strong!

They did offer to admit me as inpatient before and stay there until baby comes but still wouldn't do any earlier unless life threatening.

That doesn't sound to good... I feel like I'm having a breakdown I'm in so much pain
