Being induced...

[MoistTowelette]

It is looking very very likely that I will be induced this week.
I have spent an hour working out childcare arrangements for our toddler and it is sorted.
Just informed DH of the plans and that all he needs to do is get DD1 to nursery in the morning and join me in hospital a few hours later (I am being admitted at 6am) after she is settled.
He has just told me that he assumed he would join me when the 'action starts to happen' and I could text him. His paternity leave would start on this day so he is not coming from work.

We have no family nearby (live overseas).

I know it will be long day but as my husband, I assumed he would like to be there with me and not be at home on a fucking football forum until the 'excitement starts'.
AIBU?

oh yes, jsut remembered (gosh this is bringing it all back!) have you asked about what position the doctor is happy for you to deliver in as the stirrups kind of suggests that is the position you might be put in whether you like it or not at the moment of delivery - maybe not - but perhaps worth knowing in advance if that is something you didn't want to happen?

Definitely not surprised they have a high section rate! If you can I'd certainly be pushing for doing it your way, pull out that you want to do it the British way or something like that, make them think you're a funny foreigner

You can get second (and even plus!) opinions on the NHS, it's actually one benefit of the NHS I would have said that we can chose who we have and ask for second opinions. I have a meeting on Monday because they said I have to have a section (I have an upside down T shaped section and as I am likely to have premature labour it will be a crash section with a GA) and I'm demanding a second opinion.
