Chances of being granted early induction at 37-38 weeks?

[PipIsOutNow]

Bit of a long story so will try and keep it brief.

I'm 35+4 weeks with my second baby. First pregnancy I developed pre eclampsia and was induced at 37 weeks which ended in an EMCS due to fetal distress. Pregnancy was text book apart from that, found it really easy.

This time round I have found the whole pregnancy absolutely awful. Suffering from SPD, severe acid reflux/heartburn, was admitted at 27 weeks with pulse of 130 and shortness of breath, baby is measuring 4 weeks larger than dates (have been tested for GD and neg thank goodness), I have a high volume of fluid around baby which is what's causing the shortness if breath, was admitted at 32 due to high risk of pre term labour as I was contracting. They gave me steroids and tablets to calm down my uterus and was sent home on strict rest. I have been 'resting' ever since and been contracting (stronger than braxton hicks but not as strong as actual contractions) all day every day ever since. Some days are really bad others are ok but I literally cannot do ANYTHING, even loading the washing machine, without ending up with really intense tightenings. I'm so fed up. I can't walk, I'm not sleeping, I'm crying every day.

I have a consultant appointment on Wednesday and was wondering what my chances are of an early induction? I have a lovely consultant who's pretty open to agreeing to what I want if it's safe of course but does anyone have any experience of induction being granted under these circumstances? Obviously I want what's best for the baby which is why I want to wait until he's at least term but I really can't bear to think that I may potentially have another 7 weeks of feeling like this.

Thanks to anyone who read this far.

It's worth an ask x

If not it is 'only' a few weeks. Can you try to focus on how great you felt once you had DC1 to hold? Think of where you're going not where you are if that makes sense at all?

Worth an ask but I know I asked Shen deciding between a third induction it c section (due to non-pregnancy media so condition having section) if I could have either at 38 weeks rather than 39 when other two dc back at school/preschool after holidays I was told very firmly no. Unless there was a medical reason and by this I mean risk to myself or baby if they did not a very firm no. I do not mean that to belittle SPD or thd heartburn it is to do with the risks are higher fir buzz respiratory system.

Gah! My problem us thd kiss if sight as you can tell my the terrible autocorrects and spelling, it's not that I'm illiterate I promise

Kiss of sight? Gives up!!

Always worth asking - they were going to allow me with DS1 for non-medical reasons (FIL was dying) As it happens I decided against it in the end, DS1 ended up being hugely late and FIL defied the medical prognosis and lived another couple of years.

BF was induced on her due date because she couldn't face going overdue because of SPD/heartburn/her age/severe stress.

I hope so. He did say at my last appointment that any decision he makes will take into account my discomfort/quality of life so I'm really hoping he'll take pity on me. I feel like I'm on the verge of a breakdown :(
