To be upset that I've gone into labour a week before my planned c section, and the hospital are telling me not to come in?

Just that really!
Having contractions since yesterday morning. Early stage labour still, but they are getting more painful each time.
I called L&D, explained my situation and why I'm having a c section this time (3 day labour with my son, failure to progress past 3cm, and 11months age difference between them both)
BUT they still told me to wait?! She said i don't sound in enough pain to come in?!
Thats 1) because I'm calling inbetween contractions and 2) probably because I'm not that far along yet.

I just do not understand why i have to go through this pain when a c section has been agreed?
Sorry i know I'm ranting a bit but i just don't understand their thinking and no matter what way i worded the question i still go told to wait :(

Any advice? AIBU to be frustrated?!

Thanks for reading

Thank you everyone!!! 😁😁😁 we are over the moon (although we now realised that due to her coming early there is only a 10month 13 day age gap!) Hahaha!
We have our hands full!

Feeling ok at the moment, but i am alone now as.OH had to go get our son. I'm eating the driest cheese sandwich whilst staring down at little Laura, can't believe 10hrs ago i was trying to decide whether to come in or not!

I really love Mumsnet! And all of the support today really made a difference for me, you are all an awesome bunch!

Laura says hi :) Smile

Maybe give it a bit longer before the next Grin I know somebody who had 3 under 2 but that was with twins first!
