Help req before I have a wasted trip to labour ward

[Belle2808]

Ok so I'm 40+9! I am having lower back pain and have been for the last 30 or so hours, managed to sleep last night but woke up every hour or so with pain. Tonight it's coming at the front aswell! It's painful but not yet what I would say regular. I've been trickling water since last night (this could potentially be pee I am not sure) lol I totally don't trust my judgement at the moment oh and my lady bits feel like someone has kicked her with steel toe boots on??? Any advice greatly appreciated dont want to phone and feel silly if it's nothing x

Hope things are getting going for you.

Well, waters went this morning.... Have been continuous since 12am feel like a tap lol! Went in like MAU advised .... Que the worst experience of my life. Total miscommunication between midwives which resulted in them admitting me without informing me and a young midwife actually raising her voice telling me I should be quiet and not question her as she works the ward so she knows best (downstairs midwife had told me something completely different I was genuinely just asking a question) honestly the way she spoke to me was disgusting. Oh and apparently I was "deluded" if I thought it was my waters as it was clearly just discharge lol ok so I'm not a HCP but even I can tell the difference!! Sooooo as I haven't had many contractions and got myself in such a state crying etc a lovely older midwife came and calmed me down and chatted to me so back in at 2 tomorrow . Sorry for the long post just gutted I let her get to me I was so calm and prepared this morning now I'm back at home exhausted and apprehensive about tomoz x

U want to be speaking to a
Supervisor of midwife regarding thAt person who was unduly rude!!

Good luck for tomorrow

Yeah I did and started a grievance procedure. Was just horrible and I just feel nervous now! That's if I make it to morning ha contractions now about half an hour apart so fingers crossed!! X

Good luck belle :)

Thats awful, how bloody rude fingers crossed for you

Aw, forget about her for now and have your baby

Looking forward to updates!

Any news? I keep on checking!

On the ward had first peasary at 3pm so having contractions maybe every ten mins, getting next one at half 9 hoping it kicks it off and I can avoid drip!! I am however shitting myself for the pain lol!!

Get on your bouncy ball :-)

Thinking of you Belle x

Good luck to you, forget everything else and focus on yourself. Xxx

Good luck!

Any news Belle?

Baby girl born at 4.17am this morning 7lbs and 13! She's perfect! No name yet but hopefully soon. Had a very traumatic and long labour and birth but we are both here and healthy!!

Congratulations on your baby girl
