Hi, My name is Mel and i'm 33 wks with my 3rd child.

I have been to the hospital this morning because baby stopped moving and my contractions were increasing (2min apart and lasting 45 sec).

When the midwife linked me up to the CTG, the machine didn't register my contractions and sent me home telling me the machine didn't register any. ARGH. I argued with her as i breathed.

The midwife then rang my ob and told her i wasn't registering contractions.

I have a history of preterm labour and premmie babies. (with emergency caesarians and fetal distress, passing meconium before delivery)

The contractions are severe, strong and regular.

Why is it the midwife believes the CTG over me, who is suffering the contractions, my BP was also high for me as was my heartrate.

Baby heartrate bit high too, but she couldn't see a problem and told my ob so.

I just know this baby is going to be a homebirth because nobody is listening to me.

I know i'm in labour, i have lower back pain, wave like contractions in my tummy radiating up and i am feeling the contractions in my thighs.

Feel like baby is going to fall out down there and have the very frequent urge to visit the bathroom.

I don't have a UTI.

I just don't know what to do next.

Has anybody else had this.

Thanks for your help. I'm going insane,

Mel ox
