I'm a emotional wreck right now. Yesterday I got given the pessary which was removed today as it's unsuccessful.

Didn't sleep all night because the lady next to me was having labour pains bless her heart.

Then I get a call at 4:50 from my mum to say my nan is in resus as her throat has completely closed up!!! Just can't get any worse then this. She's a bit better now but she has incurable cancer and this is very emotional for us.

I had a examination just now and I am strong and can cope with sweeps, examinations etc BUT this examination was fucking painful as fuck!!! Yesterday I had a sweep before my pessary and was made 3cm get the midwife just said im definitely 2 not 3 cm so what the actual fuck is going on. I just feel all over the place my partner can't be here cause he's looking after the kids and my mum and family are at the hospital with my nan. Just feel so alone and this induction is very difficult. I just want a c section but they are warning me off of it because I've had 2 vaginal births ahhh.

Im 41 weeks do not know what's wrong with me and why I couldn't handle that examination when usually j can wtf !!!!

Your mum had no business telling you the bad news about your gran at this point in your life.

Can you get up and walk around at all?

Just because you've had two VBs doesn't mean you can't have a CS this time. Ask for medical reasons that contraindicate a CS.

Ask for a midwife with small hands to do your next internal exam. Or anyone other than the last one who examined you.

Are they monitoring the baby constantly? They should be if induction attempts are being made.

I had the gel and found the vaginal examinations SO painful and I’m sorry to say they got worse! I ended up refusing them but then my contractions weren’t regular so the whole thing went badly from there so I wouldn’t recommend that! Turns out, you can have had an air for the checks so make sure you request that!! And if you want a csection, SURELY they should give you one?! You’ve got this 💪🏼
