Hi has anyone any advice please
Waters went on Monday evening but wasn't contracting so was sent home for 24 hours I returned to the hospital and they put a pessary in 30 hours after waters had gone and I was 3cm dilated it got taken out at 2.30am this morning but apparently there are no beds on delivery ward I haven't been checked since to see if things are progressing just given tablets for the pain as my contractions are now 5 mins apart I cant stand and can't sit down because of the pain but no-one seems to be interested how much longer will they leave me 😢

So pleased to hear you are home and that all is well with baby. Hope you are resting up and letting everyone take care of you 💐

Congratulations but make a complaint- 60 hours Is not good enough and it’s fine for we are busy but not good.I think if you kick up a stink or are vulnerable then you get seen sooner. I was brave, quiet and responsible and yet hospital walked all over me

@Fredstheteds that's exactly what happened because when I did say i was in pain they offered codiene and I just accepted it not once did they check me until i was on labour ward

This is awful! I got sepsis due to this. I'm glad you and baby are ok. Congratulations on your new baby
