Looking a little bit of help/reassurance/hand holding. My waters broke yesterday round 12pm (34+4) and I was admitted to hospital where I’ve been last night and now tonight, I agreed to the steroid injections for babies lungs so had both 24 hours apart. I’ve had contractions here and there but not in active labour and managing with some paracetamol although waters are still leaking which is annoying if anything else. I have an elective section booked for 9th January (36+2 weeks) which was the “textbook delivery time” per my consultant but she was open to the possibility it would be before this in every appt.
My main concern is what’s next? I’ve an appointment in DOU tomorrow previously arranged with my twin consultant and I feel like everyone so far midwives and consultants are reluctant to tell me what to expect because they’re not my specified consultant. I’ve spent the last 34 weeks being told how high risk this type of pregnancy is and especially now with infection risk etc I feel like I should be doing something more?
Has anyone been in this situation before? Did you make it your planned elective section date? Once you had your steroids were you taken for a section (considered emergency albeit just unplanned)? I’ve a 1 year old at home and I’m conscious of childcare arrangements and would just like to prepare myself if anyone has been in a similar situation.
