I’m 36 weeks and 3 days pregnant currently. I was admitted to hospital on the 9th of this month for ongoing contractions every 2-3 minutes lasting about 45-60 seconds each time. No fail. Pain level about 6-7/10.
They checked cervix twice and was closed.
I’ve had to come back to hospital today on the 14th as I’ve not been able to sleep at all. And they wanted me to come back in.
The pain meds they’re giving me isn’t working whatsoever.
They put me on the monitor and baseline was 150 but he kept dropping to 115-120 for a while and they’re apparently not concerned about it but he’s never been that low on the monitor before.
he’s active and moving. So I’m not concerned with his movement.
I haven’t slept for days. The contractions are not stopping but my cervix is staying closed.
they refuse to induce me/ csec me.
but I genuinely can’t do this anymore and I know that sounds dramatic but I really can’t - I have mental health issues and this pregnancy has been a rollercoaster in terms of situation as I have broken up with my partner, been made homeless, been made redundant, baby has a condition (talipes) and reduced growth for a little bit. I am just so emotional at my wits end and tether that I’m scared for myself.
but they won’t hear it and said if you were 39 weeks then no problem but like I’m worried for myself at this point. But 39 weeks is 3 weeks away and I can’t sleep.
im so tired and fed up. And in PAIN.
is there anything anyone else has done or suggest to do?
