Oh girl, I am sorry this has been such a process. It seems crazy to me that they would continue with the same path since it obviously hasn't been working. Hopefully you get some relief soon.

I'm so sorry, beefinch! Hopefully all the other ladies can stall and you can get a room so they can break your water and get things going. You are living that episode of Friends right now.

Ugh I'm so sorry it is taking so long. How long will they let you labor before considering a cesarean?

Breaking my water and starting a pitocin drip were considered our "last ditch effort" before doing a C/S.

Breaking my water and starting a pitocin drip were considered our "last ditch effort" before doing a C/S. They broke my water and started the pitocin and gave me 18 hours from then. If I didn't have the baby, I was getting a c-section because of infection risk.

Lady opposite me has gone down to labour ward now.
I've got one lady in front of me, and then it's my turn. Long night ahead of me wondering when they are going to come and get me.
Just so emotionally drained. I want my baby girl. Please please please don't let anybody go into labour in this ward in the next 12 hours, I want my bloody room to get this started!!

clucky the Gene Wilder gif is reminding me of an acquaintance who texted her estranged baby Daddy that she was going to the hospital to give birth. His response “well I don’t want to drive there and then just wait for a long time..can you text me when you are halfway through?” Amazing they aren’t together anymore. beefinch cervix, let’s see some hustle here!

Hahah those memes.
Well here's an update -
Had a consultant come to me at about 9pm. Said we cannot admit you to the room until DD's head comes down further down birth canal and my cervix comes lower/open.
Basically what they like to do is break waters and start pitocin. I thought they just done pitocin first, but whatever I didn't know.
They are not happy breaking my waters because DD's head isn't fully into the birth canal yet and cord prolapse and her sticking her hand down first is a risk. Obviously want to avoid those at all costs. Totally understand.
So what we have decided is to use another (trigger - posh UK words lol) pessary, leave it until 9am for when I get checked (it's 00:30 now) but it'll be more likely 10/11 as they are always behind in checking ladies. And if it's remotely helped anything, we can go. I am not going to loose my place in the que because I will be bumped to the top since I would have been here the longest.
Now if it's done fuck all, which I think will happen, other things will be discussed. I am refusing another pessary and waiting for them to work, time for plan B now my cervix doesn't like pessaries.
One thing she did say was to take me to theatre, give me an epidural and break my waters. And wait and see if DD moves done or if worst case happens, which is cord prolapse etc. Then I will have c-section right away since I already have an epidural and in theatre.
I don't know the other options. I think it's just flat out c-section due to failed induction.
BECAUSE MY CERVIX HATES ME

Oh beefinch“They are not happy breaking my waters because DD's head isn't fully into the birth canal yet and cord prolapse and her sticking her hand down first is a risk. Obviously want to avoid those at all costs. Totally understand.” This happened with DS3. He was low. They broke my waters and he went back up. I couldn’t do anything but switch from side to side to get him to come down but I was not allowed to move without being checked after and very close monitoring (my nurse literally didn’t leave until the end of her shift). Once he engaged though, I went QUICK. Has your cervix not budged at all? I’ve only ever gone straight to pitocin, but I guess my cervix has been favorable?
