Hi my waters (think hind) broke on Saturday 24th. Went to hospital they wanted to keep me in and induce me. I was adamant I didn't want this and they were horrible to me . Went back Sunday and yesterday For
Monitoring. They put me on antibiotics. It's still leaking so feeling a bit rubbish. Yesterday the consultant said about sepsis so now terrified I’m going to die.
Has the waters breaking happened to anyone at 36 weeks?

I’m booked in for an induction this week. I’m terrified and can’t stop crying. Everyone says it hurts more and more medicalised. Not helping my birth / health anxiety.

was wanting some support Confused

The hospital tried to support and help you. You didnt take the doctors advice and now you're worrying.

What's done is done. You can hope for the best and learn from your mistakes.

Take it easy, do what the professional reccomend and for God sake dont undermine they professional advice. For the sake of your life and your babies.

OP, try and remain calm. Inductions are a bit of a lottery - some are fine, some not, but worrying about it is not helping you.

Like you, I was scared and wanted a ‘natural’ birth, but kept an open mind and trusted medical staff to keep baby and me alive and well.

I was induced, it hurt a lot so I asked for more pain relief as previous failed. After 12 hours and no dilation I was whisked off to theatre for an EMCS. It was honestly fine.

In hindsight, EMCS was a blessing - baby was really big and a natural birth would have ended in forceps and tears for sure.
