Hospital

Is anyone thats due/overdue starting to panic about there hospital choice?

Iv been worried anyway as im high risk - meaning i get a high risk room (when i wanted a birthing unit room or a pool) im gonna have a Dr there who will prob be intervening and want me to have a section, and midwife said that some midwifes refuse to deliver big babies which would mean a section straight away.

And now iv just read they have a 1hour pushing time before they start fiddling with forceps etc. And they dont class labour till your 4cm which means if i am induced then my OH wont be called till im 4cm which by that time will prob give him bout an hour to get home changed and up the hospital before babys there which isnt going to happen

I just feel like i want to get this baby out by myself ill prob be better off if i did. I no that by panicing im going to slow my labour down and prob end up having to have a section.

Iv been reading that bigger babies are best borthed in the pool and they wont even give me that chance.
I keep telling them iv had a big baby before but they dont want to listen to me they just seem to think i cant do it even though i done it before i even told them i had her with no pain relief and no interventions and she was shocked but still seems to think i had her with help but i didnt


Sorry for the rant i just want to curl up and wake up when babies here. Im hoping i go into labour at my mums tonight as then ill give birth at the hospital where i had my daughter and they wouldnt be so worried. x

I do know what you mean, I was due last Wednesday and am worried about doctor intervention - there is only a choice of hospitals round here, and I'm going to the best of a bad bunch. I've had high blood pressure throughout and just know it's going to skyrocket as soon as I go into labour. I'm fully expecting them to want me to have an epidural to bring it down (really don't want an epidural) and then a section if that doesn't do the trick. I'm going to try and be as strong as I can in terms of my birth plan but do worry I'll be broken down so to speak. I'm just trying to stay positive and focus on the having the birth experience that I want. I do know it can sometimes be taken out of our hands but I think that's all we can do!

Im not very strong when im in labour i just want to sleep and start moaning i need the toilet lol I never really had issues with sticking to my birth plan as there was never a reason that it shouldnt have gone all the way i wanted it. This time i can see them doing everything i dont want. In the high risk rooms they have an epidural machine "as standard" and that scares the hell out of me i really do not want that thing anywhere near me let alone in the same room. The consultant just laughed at me when i asked her to be put on low risk. I just know that at my appt at 40wks im gonna cry as soon as they say about the induction date. They just dont seem to want to listen.

I hope your babys here soon and at least they letting you go over before they induce you, my hospital want me induced ASAP after 40weeks which in her terms were about 40+3 depending on how busy they are. x
