I would beg and scream and cry until they let me in. If that doesn't work, I second the homebirth. Could you have a private Middi and still birth in their birthcenter? Is that possible? Maybe might be worth enquiring about.
Your homebirth midwives would be able to take care of those sorts of problems bluetree - they bring oxygen etc, for example. I suspect the pethedine probably was a contributing factor too.
Congratulations on your pregnancy and all the best deciding on your caregivers!
A miracle happened today - I got in to the birthing centre! I'm telling you, It is a miracle, I called them to see if there was anything I could do, was willing to beg... I didnt even need to because the midwife who answered the phone just happened to have a space open up TODAY!
That's such great news! Well done for trying again - and can I also say thank you, for giving me a well-needed kick up the behind, because I've been kind of floating along and not really thinking about the Birth Centre, and your post made me sit up and take notice, and call them to find out when I need to get stuff ready to go in... I would be lost without them too... not sure what I would do either.
Good luck for the rest of your pregnancy and wishing you an awesome birth!
Aww fantastic news!! I was going to suggest to keep ringing. I too have been accepted at FMC birthing centre, and my midwife told me that even if I wasnt accepted to begin with to keep on trying because low risk pregnancies can easily change to a high risk one. Great persistence on your behalf - High 5 and good luck through your pregnancy!!
