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?

[Elmo311]

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

I'm glad you are in OP. Same thing happened to me and they did tell me to come in, but when I had been checked they said I could go home. Not long after I felt the umbilical cord in my underwear and had to be rushed for emergency section so I'm so glad I was in hospital when it happened.

Good luck! Can't wait to hear she's arrived safely!

Good luck! X

Hope everything is ok OP. What made the sudden change around from the consultant coming back to see you later to see your decision?!

Hi all!

I'd like to introduce baby Laura, born 4:07pm, 6lbs 80z!

Everything went amazingly and she's pretty cute! (IMO!)

Congratulations OP, she's gorgeous!!!

Congratulations!!! She's adorable 💕

Lovely news! Congratulations on the arrival of your gorgeous girl

Lovely name

Oh wow! Adorable!

Congratulations OP! Look at those cheeks!

Congratulations!

Congratulations OP!

Wonderful name

Oh, well done! Lovely Laura.

Congratulations - she's beautiful.

Congratulations, she’s super cute. Beautiful name too

I'd go in anyway as well. With my first they kept saying I didn't sound like I was in a lot of pain when I phoned and contractions were irregular. I nearly had her in the car after I decided to ignore them. Not everyone labours the same way.

Hope it all goes well x

Congratulations.

Welcome to the World Laura!

Aww congratulations!

Congratulations to you all .

Congratulations, she adorable.

Beautiful baby. Well done you

Congratulations! She's gorgeous and so squidgy looking 😍
