I don't like to moan...Well not much lol.
And I hate reading about women trying to get their babies to come too early cos they are "fed up", nothing else actually wrong, just can't be bothered being pregnant anymore. I have a friend at moment who's a couple days past her due date and as much as I get its been a long 40 weeks and she's fed up of being pregnant etc, there's nothing wrong with her or baby, baby just isn't ready to come...that's just my views so im sorry if I offend. I just think it's mad the risks people go to try bring on labour before the time is right, due date is just a guide, not a definate date.
Anyways, my point is, despite how I feel about that I really am struggling with this pregnancy. I'm 33+1 and suffering with severe SPD along with chronic back problems. I have arthritis in lower spine along with a slipped disc and a bulging disc that is continually pushing on my sciatic nerve and in Jan 2012 I had to have injections into my lower spine and sacroiliac joint as I have problems with that too, injections didn't help and surgeon won't operate till I am completely finished having babies as I was very open with them when I said I wanted one more so was told to have baby, recover, get more scans etc then go down surgery route.
Anyways, so as much as I hate to moan and I'm truly blessed to be pregnant again, I'm so done with it.
I'm struggling to get out of bed and care for my littlest one, she turns 3 in Nov, thankfully my son is 11 and he helps out when he wants too but I'm too soft and don't want an 11yr old wasting his childhood / summer holidays looking after me and his sister. Any sort of movement kills me and it's to the point I'm struggling to get up to go to the loo. I feel like I'm such a failure as a mother despite my kids having everything they could possibly want etc, I just feel awful that I can't bare to walk them to the park or down to the river on nice days, I physically can't do it as much as I'd love too, it's really getting to me. Once my Lil one is born, yes I will still be in pain due to my back condition, but I won't have the SPD or a baby to carry inside of me so I will be much better....hopefully.
I've also been dead against induction due to a horrific induction with my daughter, I posted about it in here a few months ago. My consultant confirmed if all goes well with this pregnancy I won't need induction unless I go over my due date and so far all has been ok apart from low iron and possibly baby laying breech/transverse but I have a growth scan/meeting with consultant on the 5th Aug to look at that etc.
My consultant is aware of the high dose medication I take cos of my aches and pains and has confirmed I don't have to stop them 4 weeks prior delivery like my doctor said, consultant has confirmed they are still safe to take but obviously if I'm not on them great so im trying to wean off them in time for birth but I've not to work myself up if I'm not able too as the consultant told me I'm already in high amounts of pain while taking them, why make the last 4 weeks of my pregnancy even worse etc.
Anyways, the point to this rant, has anyone been induced early due to a previous condition like I have with my back and then having SPD on top? I know some hospitals won't induce because patient has SPD and I'm sure my hospital is the same, but I really don't know how much more I can take and despite my fears of induction, if he told me I could be induced at 38 weeks I would bite his had off right now! (Unless needed I won't let them induce any earlier).
I went to bed after lunch today due to the pain being unbareable and finally dosed off for 4 hrs, was glad OH was off work to watch little one.
Any experience or knowledge of how I could get consultant to consider an early induction is very appreciated. I also am willing to battle on and even go over due, I just don't know how my body will actually cope with it

Away to sob myself to sleep, no joke x
