I've been in latent labour contracting every 2-4 minutes since 4am yesterday. I am exhausted. Making barely any progress. Not had any sleep despite the midwife giving me diamorphine to help me get some rest 6 hours ago; all that seemed to do was slow my contractions right down I am exhausted and losing all faith. Contractions have gone to nearly every 6 minutes which means I've taken a massive step back and haven't even gained anything from it. Baby's head is still floating about, despite being told she was 3/5 engaged at 36 weeks then "pretty much fully engaged" from 39 weeks. So now she's just not putting enough pressure down below to make any sort of progress. It's just an excruciating, exhausting waiting game and I'm starting to lose it They kept me in after my third visit to triage probably just out of pity because I was in so much pain with intense contractions every 2 minutes.
