So I'm 39 weeks today but iv been in and out of FAU all week cos they and me was worried about the movements.
Both times I was on the monitor he moved twice in about 2 hours!
I'm back in on Monday, but I'm so worried about him. He's fully ingaged and she did a sweep the Tuesday just gone but didn't do much, I was 1cm then but haven't had another internal.
All day so far iv had back pain, severe sickness and period pains.. I can't walk, can't breath properly and can't eat.
Can I force them to induce me? The hospitals pretty crap (took them four days to find a uti).

Hi, I'm going to be a first time mum too so can only go buy what I've heard and friends/others experiences. At the end of the day, you know your body and if something doesn't feel right don't put off it or feel bad about requesting to see a MW/doctor again or asking to be monitored etc as you have concerns. I know of people who have been fogged off by certain medical people and in the end they were right! If something really feels wrong, go back to the hospital honestly. If anything they can monitor you or reassure you with what's going on is normal etc. it's always better to be safe than sorry. Hope that helps and good luck X x
