I agree that they don't want you to eat in case of a c-section.
I was very much in your position with DS4 (but at 25 weeks) and laboured all day, bleeding not food I was exhausted...they only delivered bub because he went into distress and his HR drop. If the bubs are ok they are more reluctant to deliver.
Is your cervix still long?
Maybe ask for some morphine it will help take the edge of, for you to relax and may help to reduce the ctx.
I can't understand why the won't let you have your DH there...that is really not fair
