Please help.
I've will have had the propess tampon thing in for 30 hours at 1am.
I've had midwives examining left right and centre. It's fallen out onto the bed with a load of mucus and put back in.
I've had them do a spectrum(?) to see what was happening, torches and all, and have taken a swab to see if it was waters or not (they don't think it is) and am waiting for the result to come back.
I am not dilated. My cervix is tucked right around to one side. Apparently it's started to soften.
A doctor will come at 1am to take it out and examine me again.
I am so, so sore, I don't think I can keep on having these examinations. Each time they've done one, it's been more painful than the last (and a midwife told me this would be the case).
They've said the doctor will give me my options when he examines me, but I don't know what they are.
What is the next step?
What can I refuse/request?
Thank you.

*complaint TO the hospital

Op is most probably too busy having newborn snuggles to update :)

Impala77 · 15/08/2014 21:59

Fairylea lol it does sound like a copycat story!
My dd was also a nightmare baby, colic, reflux etc. How me and hubby are still together I don't know, what with my pnd then all my physical problems (causing a lack of sex too).
Glad your second birth was so much better. I hate it when people say c section shouldn't be allowed as it's more "dangerous" well compared to the so called natural birth I had I'd take c section any day!!

Hobby2014 · 15/08/2014 22:52

Baby boy was finally born via c-section tonight at 7.45pm weighing a massive 11lb7 and was breech so I had no chance!
Thanks for all the messages of support, I'll be back to reply properly once I'm feeling up to it , but I just want to thank you all for your support and encouragement, as if you lot hadn't of told me I can refuse internals and more induction and go for c-section, god knows what state I'd be in now . So thank you, so so so much x

congratulations hobby! wonderful news! big boy breech?!? thank god you stopod your ground! hope your healing is swift. so pleased for you!

lunalovegood84 · 16/08/2014 01:17

Congratulations! So happy things have worked out so well in the end for you. There are a lot of similarities here with my situation - my baby boy was an induction that went wrong because of his position at 14 days overdue (although he was only OP not breech) and I also put my foot down and insisted on the cs. He turned out to be 11 lbs 9 ozs. I know from what happened to me that its a difficult thing to do - you must have known deep down that something wasn't right. I can't believe they didn't know he was breech - you have both had a lucky escape there alright.

You are a total hero and you should be so proud of yourself. Enjoy cuddling your boy.

slithytove · 16/08/2014 01:25

Bloody hell! And undiagnosed breech?

Well done you, enjoy those baby snuggles, look forward to seeing a picture soon!

Thanks
GingerRodgers · 16/08/2014 06:37

Congrats hobby! Thanks Welcome baby hobby.

naturalbaby · 16/08/2014 07:05

Oh my goodness, no wonder he wasn't coming out on his own!
Congratulations, enjoy every second. Flowers

creekyknees · 16/08/2014 07:55

Congratulations Hobby Thanks

Cinnamon73 · 16/08/2014 08:28

Congratulations!

Well done for insisting on a cs. If you have any strength left, make sure to mention their incompetence to diagnose a breech/not giving you an ultrasound after being so overdue.

Enjoy cuddles mith Mini-(haha)Hobby!
