Not a happy bunny!
Hi everyone
At my last hospital appointment the consultant had booked me in for an induction today (1 day overdue) so for the last couple of days my oh and I preparing ourselves for the fact that we'd have a baby by tomorrow at the latest! We got to hospital this morning at 8.00am, the midwife had a feel externally, put the monitor on to hear it's heartbeat then decided she needed another opinion as it's heartbeat was being heard up by my belly button which was also where there was a great big lump (a bum she thought!). They brought a scanner in as she thought the baby had turned and was no longer engaged! It was still engaged though so we thought all was well!!! To cut a long story short, she got the registrar in cos she was confused why I had been induced so close to my due date. They did an internal (which was painful!!) and said that everything was closed up and didn't think it was right to induce me today. They went to see a consultant who agreed and said that we should leave nature to take it's course for another 9 days so we came home without having had our baby!!
I'm very disappointed, I know that everything the registrar and midwife said today was right so I agreed with them, I'm just angry that the initial consultant had booked me in in the first place!!
So, home with no baby and am now 1 day overdue!
Hope you're all ok?
Love

I too am impatient but I know it's for the best - I just wish I'd never been given today as a date!

Still doesn't help you as you wanted your baby now...and not in 9 days. Really hope that maybe the internal will start to get things moving...xxx
The internal didn't start anything off except for a bit of bleeding but the midwife said that was normal!
Thanks again everyone, you made me feel much better!
Good luck though
