So frustrated...induction

in February 2011 Moms

Because of medical reasons, my dr scheduled me to be induced today. It is not an emergency, but more of a preventative (I developed severe pre-e and HELLP with dd very suddenly and my symptoms are starting to creep up again). So dh has the week off, my parents are here to stay with dd, etc. I called l&d at 5:30am and they have no space for me. They told me to call back at 9. I totally understand that they can't control the situation and people who are in active labor need those beds, but it is frustrating. I am hoping they can get me in later but I guess we will have to wait and see. Rationally, I know I am pouting about something no one has control over, but I am still ridiculously emotional. I didn't sleep all night and now I am sitting here wide awake.

I guess I will take this time to spend a little more quality one-on-one time with dd (when she wakes up). Smile

Thanks for letting me vent.

    I would feel the same way. Being induced is stressful enough and then not knowing when they will take you would make it worse. I hope everything goes well for you and LO! Good luck

    Thanks for not making me feel  like a crazy person. Smile It's annoying when you can feel yourself being irrational but can't do anything about it.

    I would be upset. It isn't like you had your hopes up on meeting your baby sometime today, lol. But I wouldn't get too upset. 11am or so is discharge time (at our hospital anyway) and I am sure that they will have a few beds open up shortly after.

    I totally understand where you're coming from!  I am awaiting a call from the hospital tomorrow for my induction, but only if they have a bed for me. If not, I still have to go to the hospital (a 45 min drive away) for a NST, and then still wait for a call after that.

    I don't think I'll sleep well tonight, like you, so I really hope the call comes early tomorrow and that they have space for me. DH doesn't know whether to go to work tomorrow or not. I told him he might as well go in if we don't hear from the hospital and he can always come home and pick me up if need be. Also, we have 3 dogs and I'm not sure what to do with them. We have friends that can come let them out but we have no idea how long we might be at the hospital for!  I'm frustrated and it's not even tomorrow yet. I hate this waiting game... Sad

    GL to you, OP. Best wishes for a successful induction and a healthy LO!
