Latent phase of labour

Hey girls I went to hospital yesterday as was having contractions. They checked me out said my cervix isn’t open but it’s very soft, they took bloods and urine as thought it could be infection, they were discharging me today but last minute asked if I can stay overnight again. (I have a growth scan tomorrow and they’ve mentioned possible induction depending on findings) do you ladies think it’s likely I’m going to be induced and why do you think they’d discharge me then change their minds? Xx

Maybe since you were already due in the next day they asked to keep you for observation to be extra sure? Or maybe they something like protein in ur urine. I would call the nurse and ask them now. I hope you’re doing ok!

@Ellen bloods and urine is fine, but because last pregnancy I got induced for same problem and got sepsis afterwards I feel like they’re been cautious

@Ellen it’s soo nerve racking. Been pumped with Iv drips and medication. I think what’s confusing is them changing their mind last minute about discharging me after writing discharge papers and they knew I had an appointment tomorrow from when I came in last night xx

You can decline induction if you don’t want it and if there’s no medical reason for it. It may be just extra observations like above said since you had an appointment the next day anyway. I’m 2cm dilated with tightenings and they haven’t spoken about inducing me and said to just come back when they’re regular painful contractions or if my waters break

@Veronica yeah that would confuse me too. But at least it sounds they care about you and want to keep a close eye on you and baby
