Morning
A brief history first. My waters broke a week ago last night, called the hospital and was visited by a midwife the following morning who said baby was fine and if nothing happened in 72ish hours then could expect some action. Later that afternoon I had a bleed so went to hospital who monitered for a bit and said was probably a show.
Since then have had another bleed and am leaking fluid, however the hopsital decided that my waters had not gone, it was just excess discharge, however they did ask me back Thursday and Saturday for further monitoring and said everything was fine.
I still maintained that my waters had gone, and I think just to shut me up they agreed to a Liqor (sp?) scan yesterday which proved my waters had gone and that I was on the lowest end of the scale. They did various blood tests, temp, etc and after 5 hours decided that the best course of action was to send me home and I was to go back in Wednesday for further monitoring. When I asked about the water loss they said it was not a concern as my waters would remake themselves to a certain extent.
I have now spent a sleepless night worrying that it is now over a week since they went and that baby will suffer in some way.
Am I worrying over nothing or can I insist on them inducing etc me now? Surely the stress I have felt and am still feeling is not good for the baby either?
