Moan: two weeks overdue, sent home and feeling depressed.

[oneofthosenicemuslims2015]

Just that really. Due date was two weeks ago and had hospital induction booked for today. After waiting around for 7 hours because they were busy, I was told I didn't need a pessary, but they can't break my waters and put me on the drip as there is no midwife available. So I'm home again and they will call when there's space. I felt so fed up and depressed when the midwife aent me home. I know it's probably only another day but I've really had enough and need my body back. Have been slumped on sofa feeling very sorry for myself and just wanting to cry. Nobody understands and I'm fed up with the 'have u had the baby' texts.
I also think I might be getting thrush as am itching down below and am dreading giving birth in that state.
So there's my massive moan of the day.

Oh OP Im so sorry to hear, it must be so disheartening to go in expecting to deliver and theb have to come home again. I suppose its a safety thing what with being full but it isnt ideal.

Have they at least asked you to go in tomorrow? Id imagine 40+14 theyd at least want to monitor you daily to ensure all is still well?

Omg bless you, poor love. I've never gone that far over, 6days was bad enough. Fingers crossed your back in tomorrow. Have you any Canesten cream for your itchiness? Maybe let the MW's know when u go bk in. Keep us updated and GOODLUCK!

Oh bless you I can't even imagine how you feel, I had ds at 38 weeks and I'm now 36 + 5 and at the end of my tether.

The txt must be very annoying! I hope your back in tomorrow and good luck xx

Ah that sucks - was induced with dc1 and it's horrible to think you've finally gotten there and be sent home. It has to happen soon...

This happened to me but I had to wait for a bed for 3 days! I hope it's not long for you OP being overdue sucks!

You poor thing I'm 37+5 and the thought of being sent home from your booked induction 2 weeks over is very very disheartening.

You're doing marvellously, you really are. Definitely a trip to chemist for Canesten when the shops open. And

Thanks for your posts ladies, I really needed some support/sympathy yesterday and was very 'woe is me'. DH was great at hospital but went into practicality mode when we got home and he just didn't get that I wanted to be held and comforted. He's lovely but a bit clueless in that regard.
Called mat ward this morning and have been told they are still busy but to go in later and wait... here's hoping. I have some canesten cream but am scared to put it on now!
Can't wait to be the other side of this pregnancy.
lisalou 3 days I don't know how you managed, I'm a wreck after one day.

OP I was patient for 2 days, on the morning of the 3rd day I cried a lot at 2 midwives and asked them what their plan B was, they didn't have one. Then a night shift midwife heard me crying myself to sleep on the 3rd night and I actually heard her go and yell at the labour ward on the phone and demanded me a bed. Turned out I did need the damn pessary after all because at some point in the 3 days my waters had gone bit I hadn't realised and they hadn't checked! So when DS was born and couldn't breastfeed/threw up all his formula /heart rate and blood sugar dropped- he ended up in special care and on antibiotics for a possible infection from no waters! So I was there a full week. So just make them keep checking you, and try and break your waters yourself then they have to find you a bed!

Huge sympathy, I was induced at 12 days over with DD and was desperate to get her out. Ironically with DC2 I am trying to get them to agree to let me go 14 days over rather than inducing at 12 but I would hate to think the day had arrived and then be sent home!!!! I hope they are offering you monitoring/scans etc.

If it is your first just remember that no matter how uncomfortable you are, you will be resting and sleeping much better now than at any point for years to come...put your feet up!

Baby girl snug was born last night after successful induction and ten hour labour she is a good sleeper so far. I am quite bruised and battered but very happy it's all done and baby is finally here

Thank you again for support because I was so low on Sunday and felt like nobody understood how I felt.

I can completely empathise! I've just posted a very similar thread to say that I'm utterly fed up at being 9 days over with DC3 and apparently no signs of it making an appearance any time soon.

Ooh, just read that you've now had your baby! Huge congrats!!

Hurray! Just read your thread and so pleased for you! Congratulations x

Congratulations! Wishing you a speedy recovery

Aaah congrats, worth the wait!

Congratulations and well done!
