Induction cancelled :/

To feel very defeated and sad:( , I'm 36+2 weeks today I was supposed to get induced today but I knew I wasn't going to as the talk I had with the consultant yesterday made me feel very much pushed away. My waters ruptured and have been ever since 34 weeks I've been in hospital for a week with reduced movements and pains etc. they sent me home with steriod shots and antibiotics till today I was supposed to be induced. I felt very pressured by the consultant yesterday she was telling me why can't I wait till 37 weeks etc. when it was the doctors that booked it for me.. she also made out like I was lying about my waters to the point she asked me to pull my leggings down there and then and show her my pad.. then telling me she couldn't find my booking which I had to point out myself to her on her own computer. I have adhd and anxiety so when they rung me this morning they started with " the consultant mentioned they're might be no beds didn't she" so I knew she had put her little input across , there's not enough midwives to accommodate my induction today they will try tommorow. I'm annoyed as I've been told so many different things by so many different doctors , one told me to get my partners paternity to start Monday as he can't take no holidays due to it being a new job and him taking all his holidays while I've been in and out of hospital I have 3 other children at home so he's been taking care of them. I have a feeling there going to keep doing this till I'm 37 weeks which will be a whole week wasted of my partners paternity, I'm very fed up :/ ( my doctor said this is classed as premature labour before anyone starts that I've posted on here)

I'm so sorry that you've had your induction cancelled and I can understand why you're feeling anxious.

Have you spoken to your MW today? Are you able to give them a call and talk it through?

If you have ADHD, what normally works to try and settle your anxiety? Flowers

Absolutely demand an answer to this now. An induction should not be cancelled. Is there someone who can speak to them on your behalf? It’s dangerous to you and the baby to delay.

I spoke to the consultant in charge all I got was " well your ok till 37 weeks were only inducing early as your having pains" .. I was like ok so that's my issues and I was supposed to get induced Friday then it was " full" then today and it's full again my thing is. They're saying I cannot go over 37 weeks but what if it's full that day too??

I don't really know how to cope with calming down I've gone in the garden as it's sunny and had. A picnic with my other children although I couldn't stay out long as I have severe SPD and it only feels ok to lay on my side these days can't even sit on my sofa without not being able to walk :/

SPD sounds bloody awful. My DF had this and ended up borrowing a mobility scooter from a neighbour.

I can't help you with getting the induction but do have a look at regulating techniques for ADHD. You might find that a protein rich lunch or snack and 10 minutes guided meditation get you a bit less anxious.
