39+1 with DC 3.. other 2 labours were natural & very quick.
Issues with growth this time & waters also low.. so advised to go for induction.
Came in yesterday & had pessary.. a few hours later contractions got going.. thought it was all going to happen.. then all stopped. Got a bit of sleep but am in a bay so it's noisy.
This morning they've said the pessary can come out at 1130 & they'll examine me.. if they can break waters I'll have to wait for a slot on labour ward.. if not I'll have to repeat the process with another pessary.. not sure how I feel about this. I'm finding the pessary very uncomfortable.. my nether regions are swollen too 😰. I feel really teary this morning, especially with the thought of 2 other children at home. I knew it could be a long process.. I'm just finding it hard.
My consultant said last week they wouldn't let things go past Wednesday.. so I'd have c-section if nothing progressed by then.. so I suppose I have that to hang onto. Starting to wish I'd opted for section in first place now as I was told I was able to request one on grounds I had 3rd degree tear last time.
I feel like a dramatic princess wanting to cry ðŸ˜
