Arrived at Hospital at 7:30 am and was asked to wait in waiting room as no beds! After about 40 mins midwife came & took me to a room and set me up on the monitor & done BP etc!
She came back after bout 40 mins and said the Doc would be round shortly re induction but he might be a while as they were really busy. She said they were only due 3 people but they'd had emergencies and there was now 7 people!
Didn't think anything of it and about 5 mins later the doc came in and asked how I was feeling etc.....he then said 'We have a wee problem!' and explained the labour ward was very busy and that he'd been through the list of inductions and as I wasn't "emergency" could I come back tomorrow! He said if they wern't to send people home it would be dangerous as they wouldn't have the right amount of staff to cover all the women!
Was a little pissed off as I'd only got 2 hours sleep lastnight and had got myself all ready that today would be the day! But I wouldn't like to be induced knowing there might not be the help & support I needed available! He did promise I was 1st Priority for tomorrow!
So left the hosp at about 9:15 and broke the news to parents & family and went to see my mum! Have decided as I done everything lastnight this is our day just to chill....and really chill this time!
OH is doing tea tonight & I'm just going to veg out and then have a early night and get lots of sleep! I feel knackered now but I'm staying awake so I go to bed and sleep tonight!
Just thought I'd let you all know......will be joining the mummy club a little bit late!
