I was promised a baby yesterday!

I was supposed to have my baby yesterday :(

I have insulin-dependant GD so I went in for induction Thursday afternoon, and was promised baby would be born on Friday (my due date). They checked me and I was 2cm, but cervix was super high. Did one dose of the prostin gel, checked me 6 hours later - no change. They did another dose that brought on some strong contractions and left me overnight. They didn't check me in the morning, but I was having very consistent and strong contractions all day - 4 minutes apart, 1 minute long - so they just left me to my own devices. The labour ward was full so they didn't want to do anything unless it looked like I was in full-blown labour. They finally checked me in the afternoon - still zero change. I was devastated. I just lay around for the rest of the day (it was 40C here yesterday so couldn't go for walks) then was checked again just before bed - 4cm! sweet! The dr said they would break my waters in the morning, put me on the drip, and I'd have a baby by the next night. AW YEAH.

So I woke up this morning, got ready to go to the labour ward, had a midwife check me and... 2cm. Apparently the dr from the night before had been smoking crack, as there's been zero change in my cervix in the last 48 hours. No one knew what to do so I just sat and waited... again... til a dr was free to speak to me. Cause I've had a vaginal birth before they're confident I can do it again and want to give me that chance, so they want to keep waiting. BUT I WANT MY FRIGGING BABY. They offered to use a foley bulb however I had one of those with my daughter's birth and it was honestly the most horrendous thing that's ever happened to my body, and I refused. So they sent me home. I go back in on Monday afternoon, and they'll do another check. If there's been any change they'll continue with the induction on Tuesday morning. If there's been no change they'll do a c-section on Tuesday. Either way, Christmas Eve baby! But I was supposed to be holding him already. :(

I've broken down and cried on and off all day. I spent two whole days away from my gorgeous daughter for absolutely no reason, and now I'll be in hospital on Christmas Day and won't get to spend it with her. I'm sad and frustrated and impatient. Come on out, little boy!
