Not happy with plan

I’m 38+2 and was admitted Thursday with high bp, exaggerated reflex’s and too much fluid. A tablet brought my bp down so I came home yesterday.

I was first told I’d be induced today (Thursday night) but then the baby moved to breech. I saw an awful consultant yesterday who wanted me kept in for days, I said no. She then said you can be induced on Thursday. I was so tired I just agreed.

Baby moved back to head down yesterday but it’s a very unstable lie as it’s swimming in too much fluid.

Now I’m home and have slept I’ve decided I’m not happy with the plan. I don’t want to risk induction in case it moves during (also a big baby).

I’ve got day clinic tomorrow. Do you think I can change it then to a C-section? It’s such a shame the fluid has increased as it was engaged 3/5 on Thursday!

Any woman can request a C-Section but I'm not sure you'd get it before Thursday.

A lot might depend on what your blood pressure is like at the clinic I suppose.
