I was sooooo upset and angry earlier, but now I feel a bit better lol
Right, so I was waiting ages (which I was ok with), went in to see the "consultant" who turned out to be a trainee doctor I explained my concerns and she said "I'm not a consultant so I can't make that decision, sorry" and went to send me home! I said no way, that I was BOOKED to see a consultant and that I wasn't leaving til I got an induction date So, she (being a bit funny) said "OK Danielle, induction date is Saturday" with a snide smile I told her I don't want to wait that long so she went to speak to someone & came back and said I would be induced Friday (@ 14 days overdue) Still not what I was hoping for so I was a bit upset.
Anyway, she checked the HB and gave me a sweep (which I didn't even know she was fucking doing until afterwards! I was livid!! I wanted a sweep, don't get me wrong, but she didn't even tell me what the hell she was doing!) She said the HB was fine, but to me, it sounded like the placenta...
Anyway, when she left the room, a nurse came in and I said I thought the HB the trainee doc found was actually mine, so when the trainee doc came back, the nurse said to check the HB again. The trainee doc sighed and did it, found a HB and said "see?" I told them I still think it's the placenta so she called a MW in. The MW said it WAS the placenta and told me to go straight to delivery because they couldn't find the HB I was devastated!!
Got to delivery and I was fuming about the appt. I just started crying and the MW got all teary, put me on the monitor, came back and said that she would bring me in Thursday for another sweep (in case this one doesn't work) and then induction Friday.
Evie is still facing my spine & is now 3/5 engaged instead of 2/5 engaged from yesterday!! She monitored a few BH and said they were really good and might be doing something! (They're not painful).
I'm getting some cramps but that'll be from the sweep I expect. I'm not expecting it to work, so my next big day is Thursday where I get another sweep! Then Friday morning (90am) I'm getting induced by pesserie(sp?)
It's not ideal, but we're getting somewhere. So Friday is the big, BIG day xxx
