Saw midwife today, sob, sob and more sob.
There are - no private rooms, no facilities to transfer me to a MLU, no options for anything other than staying in overnight for at least 1 and most likely 3 nights on the ward, first 24 hours in post op recovery.
I could check myself out - but clearly they wouldn't advise it.
So I have been advised to stop Rasberry Leaf Tea and Evening Primrose Oil. Also as I have a history of fast labours, chances are they wouldn't wait full term to see if it turns, it will be delivered by C Sec at 38/39 weeks,
My preferred option is 38 weeks. First sign of labour while baby is transverse and I have to dash straight in.
She said EVC has a poor success rate, I am going to try everything on the Spinning Babies website, but I am gutted :(. I don't know how I will manage 3 nights without DH when I don't even like going to the local shop.
She has carried on as if we will still be having a home birth but I got the distinct impression she thinks it is unlikely.
