Impish Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 ARRGGGHHH. Six hours to find out if we go in today. I think this is technically considered 'cruel and unusual punishment' and contrary to the Geneva Covention. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MariannNOVA Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I agree. :iagree: Entire call staff of the hospital needs to be put on Judge Judy! All joking aside, I do agree. The afternoon I was admitted to the hospital pg with the twins (I was 36 wks), they told me I would be staying in the hospital till it was time for them to be born. :w00t: One day or five days......I wasn't leaving. In fact, it was a Monday and they talked about trying to get me till Friday. Well, my blood pressure shot up through the night, and the next day, VOILA! TWINS!

Impish Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 I seriously think this is the *dumbest* system for setting up inductions, ever. When I was induced w/Diva, the OB told me time and date to show up at the hospital. (Different province). With Princess, I'd been admitted the day before, and ended up bumping someone on the list. And now, more hurry up and wait. Because, ya know, additional stress and anxiety is JUST what every pregnant woman needs!! :glare: (Let alone a pregnant woman whose MIL's birthday is tomorrow, and really, really doesn't want to endure that drama) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbecueMom Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 With my first, I was told to expect a call around 4-5AM for induction. I was wide awake and antsy from 3:30AM until I finally crashed for a nap at 1:30PM. L&D called at 1:35PM and said they were ready for me. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorien Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 (edited) (Let alone a pregnant woman whose MIL's birthday is tomorrow, and really, really doesn't want to endure that drama) I'm sorry about the wait and the not knowing what's going on! I read in an earlier thread that it takes ages when you're induced. If that's the case . . . depending on how long it usually takes . . . wouldn't tomorrow be the better day to go in? That way you can take ages and then baby would be born on Wednesday? You could ask to go in later in the afternoon, maybe, and then deliver in the early hours of Wed. morning...and any possible problems would be solved. :001_smile: ETA: I agree, it is cruel punishment! With my only induction I was admitted to the hospital the day the doctor said she wanted to induce. We did have warning that if nothing happened I could decide on an induction, but we didn't make that decision until the day I was admitted - and I was sent in that very evening (they let me come home, have supper, gather whatever I needed, and then go in). Making you wait around for a call that may or may not come, when your situation is already rough, isn't very nice of them!

Parrothead Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 (Let alone a pregnant woman whose MIL's birthday is tomorrow, and really, really doesn't want to endure that drama) Oh, dear! You need to just wait until Wednesday. Either that or just don't tell her until Wednesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remudamom Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Still nothing?? I was hospitalized and told I couldn't leave until I delivered. I was only four months along. It was the triplets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
