pessary induction!

Hope you got some sleep - really was hoping for the best for you. Sounds like it's a shocking state in there and how dare they tell you it's not your decision - I would be kicking up a stink right now but I really respect you for remaining calm and coherent! :thumbup:

Hope today brings better news for you and a better MW too! :hugs:
 
Wow can't believe what I'm reading, you could really do with them being supportive of you :(

I was hoping that something would be happening for your sake, I can't imagine going through all that you are.

Hopefully today will bring some good news for you and Fox x

I just noticed your in West Sussex, (me too!) What hospital are you at if you don't mind me asking?! x
 
East Surrey.

Got a lovely mw back. She said the doctor will want to examine me regardless of whether she does or not but I have the right to refuse anything and everything.

I may let him to humour him but I do worry he will fudge the numbers and try for the forcibly breaking my which is the hook being pushed through my hard closed cervix. I guess I will know from the exam how accurate he's being though.

I'm going to refuse all other induction methods as its just ridiculous now. It's not working and is having no effect. If he refuses csection I'll ask for a second opinion.

Still have slight hope this last one has silently been doing its job though.

I hope so too!

Best of luck :thumbup:
 
The last lady left on the ward is 9cm and about to be taken over to delivery.

All 3 were started yesterday no problem at all and 2 are first time mums.

It's great their getting their babies but where is mine :'(
 
:'( it must be so difficult to still be stuck there! Stick to your guns, you know what is best for you and your boy. Fingers crossed for some stealth dilation overnight.x
 
Not your decision? Your body - your baby....they can't do anything to you that YOU don't allow. Sounds like hell in there!
 
Every single 10-15 minute quick monitor turns into 45 minutes+ with me switching sides constantly to try and get him active. To me that screams not ok.

I hope the doctor looks at everything properly rather then just trying to tick me off on his rounds.
 
I dont understand why its taking them so long to do something - my sister had her baby two weeks ago they saw the placenta wasnt working properly and his heart rate kept being sky high then really low and they said it was nothing and left her to get on with it luckily baby was born healthy but I dont know why they muck around when things are clearly worrying the mums x
 
It seems to me like they are seeing everything individually.

Ok ctgs albeit very minimal variability.

Reduced movements but anterior placenta

Not moving on scan but placenta and blood were ok

Growth ok although slightly lower then before

No practice breathing but that could be fine too.

Individually all those things are ok but when you put them together and add my concerns as the mum in Ithink they should be more concerned then they are.
 
Kala I've been following this thread, but not really known what to say- just don't back down however much they push you, instincts are very rarely wrong. Hope your baby boy is here soon :hugs: xx
 
Hoping the last tablet has at least worked a little, bit definitely ask for 2nd, 3rd, 4th opinions on the exam (if you can stand that much poking!).

Keep your strong head on! You can refuse anything! And you can now easily push for failed induction.

List those concerns above to anyone you can, the way they are just leaving you is horrid. Makes me feel sick.
 
Kala.....here are some NICE guidelines about Induction:

Failed induction
• If induction fails, healthcare professionals should discuss this with the woman and provide support. The woman’s condition and the pregnancy in general should be fully reassessed, and fetal wellbeing should be assessed using electronic fetal monitoring.
• If induction fails, the subsequent management options include:
− afurtherattempttoinducelabour(thetimingshoulddependonthe
clinical situation and the woman’s wishes)
− caesareansection(referto‘Caesareansection’[NICEclinical
guideline 13]).



1.7.2 Failed induction
Failed induction is defined as labour not starting after one cycle of treatment as described in 1.3.2.1.
1.7.2.1 If induction fails, healthcare professionals should discuss this with the woman and provide support. The woman’s condition and the pregnancy in general should be fully reassessed, and fetal wellbeing should be assessed using electronic fetal monitoring.
1.7.2.2 If induction fails, decisions about further management should be made in accordance with the woman’s wishes, and should take into account the clinical circumstances.
1.7.2.3 If induction fails, the subsequent management options include:
• a further attempt to induce labour (the timing should depend on
the clinical situation and the woman’s wishes)
• caesarean section (refer to ‘Caesarean section’ [NICE clinical
guideline 13]).
1.7.2.4 For women who choose caesarean section after a failed induction, recommendations in ‘Caesarean section’ (NICE clinical
guideline 13) should be followed.

I hope they get him out soon, I'd feel just the same as you. Although I want a natural birth, I'd have a c section in a heartbeat if I felt like things were just not 'right' I'm sure you will have no trouble being tough with the doctors, sending loads of good vibes x
 
"Not your decision?" !!! I'd be pissed at that. The doctors make recommendations, but you should have the final day. Your body, your child, your choice.
