Hun I dont want to worry you, but sleeping pills are not safe for use during pregnancy. Please make sure you contact the hospital when you wake up and tell them what you have taken, they may well be affecting the baby, and they may want to monitor you.

Cat is right we don't mean to worry you but its dangerous for the baby!
Let them know hun so they can get you in.

The sleeping pills are temazepam and are fine so dont worry girls nice of you tho,lol

I need them to regulate now,never thought I would be begging for stronger pain.

Thanks girls

Its awful how they are treating you,
I thought established was 3cm's not 4!

If the pain carries on like this hun and you can't cope insist they do something, you could be 5cm's by now without even knowing it.

Push it next time you go in, they can't throw you out!

i always thought it was 3cm too!

They must have changed it or something?

I agree, temazepam is not recommended at any stage of pregnancy, it is a benzodiazepine, which can cause sedation to the baby in late pregnancy. I really would seek medical advice before taking anymore.

My heart goes out for you, I only had 2 days of this and it was horrible. In the end I was given pethdine to help me have a few hours sleep which seemed to help a bit. Hope baby arrives soon.

I was told 4 was established, I was 2 for ages but they wouldn't let me go to delivary till I was 4cms dilated.

hi

the temazepam were given to me by the hospital by the registrar so i can get some sleep last night as was so knackered.

they said they will break waters at less than 3-4 if induced chemically if not then like me they wont do until established,i am sitting here going out of my mind.

am going for walk in a minute,thanks bex

OMG!!! I had my waters broken at 3cms as nothing was happening for me for 14hrs!!!!!!! So they decided to break my waters to move things along, the only reason I had to wait was because I needed a Doctor to assist Alfie's head into position and they were going to take me into theatre, so we had to wait!

Your hospital is terrible, I have never heard anything like it! I know they can't use gels at this stage, but they can certainly helo you move things along......why on earth are they leaving you so long? Get xome answers babe and don't be strugged off!!

I hope things do get going for you babe or the hospital help you!!! HUGE x
