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

Oh she is so cute Elmo Congratulations! Flowers

I had a slightly bigger 15 months between my eldest two, it was a lot of hard work but all of a sudden no one was teething or wearing nappies and life was a breeze! They are so close and are interested in all the same things, I would really recommend a close age gap. Good luck for the months ahead, it will be a wonderful blur. 😍

Annietheacrobat · 02/04/2019 22:09

What a cutie. Beautiful name too. Many congrats

VeganSteve · 02/04/2019 22:31

She’s beautiful, congratulations! I had 10 months between my middle two, it was chaotic but lovely too xx
