Fed Up - Hospital Induction

4 replies

NewMum3000 · 13/01/2025 17:05

Really just posting for a moan and some sympathy or moral support! This probably isn’t the right page.

In hospital for an induction since yesterday morning. No progress so far. I feel like rubbish…..with the room being so warm, interrupted sleep and the food is fine for hospital food but just not what I’d eat at home.

And of course my bowels decide it’s suddenly a great time to give me diarrhoea when I have people poking around down there three times a day!

I said to my husband earlier I think the reason why women maybe say induced births are more painful is because they have already been in the hospital so long and are at their wits end. I’m so over this already.

For info I’m a week and a bit overdue which is the reason for induction.

Having the shites is a good thing! It’s means the body is preparing for labour.

Can your partner etc bring you some food in?

Diarrhoea happened for me right before I went into labour on both my dc

The diarrhoea means the induction is working. The midwives didn’t tell me at the time either.

Diarrhea is a good sign of things happening. Hopefully it will stop soon though as you don’t want it whilst actually giving birth.
