I have just got home. Been discharged again!
Went in last night. Was having contractions. But my cervix has only chnaged a little bit. Is now 2cm dilated.
Doctor checked this morning and said I am in early labour. In the latent phase. She said baby coould come anytime or take days.
The MW I had in the morning was lovely. Was on a postnatal ward, as the antenatal ward was full. The one this afternoon was obviously on a mission to get more beds free. I was on the CTG before I was discharged. She said I am still contracting, but to go home and if they get worse come back
My doc warned this morning that if I do go home I have to come back in if my waters break - straight away....as bubs keeps disengaging and the polyhydromnias could make the cord prolapse.
So, I am here, at home, in pain and just wondering if and when things will kick off
Thank you for all the messages ladies.

I am still having regular pains. I am going to take a walk down to my moms. 1) Walking may help (well hobbling with crutches) 2) my mom and sister are there and can keep an eye on me.
Thank you for the messages girls. I forgot to say my hospital was so busy they shut it off to admissions. I think this has a huge impact on any care we got.
I am very upset and disappointed with the treatment. I am 37 weeks now. Yet they treat me like someone of a lt less. Anpother lady in my bay was given an internal the same day by a doc off her team, and she was ony 33+1!!!!
I am sooo fed up and frustrated

I left the hospital sometime before 5am.
You will know the details from the great updates joj gave you
Anyway, throughout tuesday evening pains got increasingly worse. So, I asked the midwife if she can do an internal to see if my dilation had progressed. She said 'yes...time your pains. If they are regular, will do an internal'
So, I timed them, told her and she did nothing except give me paracetomal!!
At around 4 I spoke to her and she put me on a CTG...The CTG measured many of my pains....but some really strong tightenings I was getting it was staying on zero
I told her this, but she just laughed.
When CTG was finished I askedif she was going to do the examination now. She said no, as the CTG showed I have an irritable uterus and nothing more.
This got me sooo mad. I had been losing proper bloody shows all evening, was having tightenings and pain every 3-5 mins and she was fobbing me off!!
So, I said I was going home. A I am fed up of sitting there and knowig nothing. She said to me they only do internals on full term ladies. I said I am full term now. Her reply was, just about.
So, I packed my bag, and went.
Some of you may think this was silly, but I simply could not take anymore of being fobbed off.
So, I am at home now....in a lot of discomfort and pain.....But sooo glad to be away from that hospital.
Thank you so much for all the lovely messages in joj's update thread. I have written a special thank you in there.
Speak to you all soon I hope
