Induction delays BLOW ( vent)

So, we were all set up for an 8am induction this morning. I woke up at 5:45 to a phone call from the hospital saying it was going to be delayed until they turned over some beds. Which is totally fine, I understand that you can't really count on how many women will go into labor at once. DH and I still got up, packed up DS, our dog and took them to my parents since the nurse made it sound like it should be only a matter of a couple hours.

Fast forward to 12, I still hadn't heard anything so I figured I would call to see what the chances of us going in today were. That way DH could go to work, and I could go get DS if needed. Nurse said my OB was doing a C-section, when she was done they would "re-access" the situation and would call shortly. 

I still haven't heard back. I don't really mind if I don't get to get induced today, sure I will be a little bummed. But what really irritates me is how little communication there is and how your just expected to sit and wait.

I know it's dumb, and immature of me to expect much more from a L&D unit, I've been pretty good hormones wise this pregnancy up til now, I'm just done. Sorry for the vent

I think you have every right to be a disappointed.  It's no small thing to have been thinking "I'm going to have my baby today."  And the lack of communication would bother me as well. 

Hang in there, I hope it turns out well for you

Mine was supposed to be at 6am and didn't end up being until 5pm! I definitely understand how you feel...my SO had taken the day off for nothing he works days and so had my mom. The LD nurse actually told me to call back every two hours because of how hectic things were, she wasn't sure someone would get a chance to call me. I'd call them if you don't hear anything!

Oh at first, they said someone would call me at 7am...no call by 8am, so I called, she said she wasn't sure if I was calling them or they were calling me so that's why I hadn't gotten a phone call.

I am so sorry to hear this!! I would be upset!! I probably would have already went over there and been sitting in the waiting room "WAITING" (very impatiently)

Wow, I had no idea that this was even possible. I'm scheduled to be induced tomorrow morning at 6AM so now I know that I don't want to be getting any calls from the hospital before hand. I know that there is a baby boom in this area right now so I'm going to be hoping and crossing my fingers that things stay on track. Good luck, I hope you get some news very soon!

Mine was delayed too. I was going to go in tonight to be induced but labor and delivery is completely full so I am scheduled for tomorrow night at 7pm. Hope it doesnt change. .

Thanks ladies, it's been a very emotional day in limbo.

Finally got a call around 4 that I have been moved to Friday morning at 8am. I asked if there was a chance I could be moved again and they said I would be the last to be rescheduled... but really, who knows.
