Keep Getting Bumped

I was supposed to be induced late last week, then it was Sunday, then it was Tuesday, then they just called me and said they can't get me in Tuesday (today).  The feeling of being ready and being told to wait longer is disheartening.  I am starting to get worried because they wanted me originally to deliver 37-39 weeks due to some complications.  Now I am almost 40 weeks with no set time/date for induction. Just looking to vent. 

Re: Keep Getting Bumped

  • @milaura85 what a pain, so sorry that you keep getting pushed back- here's to hoping they give you a date (that they don't move) asap!

  • WOW. That is really frustrating! I definitely understand why you'd be feeling disheartened. 

    Positive upside? You and baby are healthy enough for them to feel comfortable with leaving them in there!

  • Update: they just called to tell me they STILL can't fit me in.  I hate that I am wasting my maternity leave (and my husbands) just waiting around. 
  • Update: nothing yet from the hospital. My husband has now wasted 2 of his leave days. He is not going to be able to spend much time with baby girl unless we get things going:(
  • @milaura85... Can't imagine how frustrating that must be. Ugh! Fx it will be soon for you.

     Lurking from March: 

    I don't know what your husband does for a job, but could he go to his boss and explain the situation? 
    Maybe they could let him work until you actually go in for your induction? I feel like most induced labors take a bit longer so he would probably have plenty of time to notify them and still not chance missing the birth. 
    Then again, this all depends on what line of work he is in, and his relationship with his boss. 

    Good luck and I hope they get you in soon! I'm surprised they pushed induction if they didn't feel like it was urgent enough to actually get you in. 
  • That's really frustrating. I can't imagine getting emotionally prepared for it and then having it rescheduled for you to go through the emotions again. Hopefully they can give you a firm date soon!

  • Unfortunately that isn't possible with his job. He had to make arrangements for someone to cover for him so he already scheduled that when we found out we were first being induced. 
  • That has to be frustrating :( Hopefully they'll get you in soon!
  • Update: another day is over and they still can't fit me in. This is now 4 days passed when the doc originally wanted me to be induced:(. I'll try again tomorrow. Hopefully everyone can stop going into labor for just one day to free up some space:)
