Well done you! I think you're amazing to do so much, in spite of the exhaustion you probably feel.
You've got lots of allies on your side, haven't you?

Hear, Hear, Also Confused. Excellent advice again. Blimey, if this is not a time to be coddled when is?
You are, actually, in a strong position. You are pregnant, pitufi, babies can arrive at any time. No-one knows how delivery will go. Really good card to play. If you want to really wind things up mention you think you may be having getting Braxton-Hicks contractions. Just remember to tell that to your Obstetrician or nurse as well as back up. Should get things moving.
pitufi, you have done a fantastic job. Hope you are feeling you are getting some support here. And yes, this situation is outrageous. I would also play on that, the huge amount of stress on a pregnant woman. Set a deadline. The hospital has a month to get this sorted as after that you will no longer be in circulation for the next 3 months.
Unhappily, it has always been the case that those who talk loudest get the most action in hospital. They are all human, just overloaded.

I am in the same situation with my mother who has Alzheimers/Mixed Dementia and I wish you good luck with everything. I know what a strain all this is only too well.
We are at the stage of the hospital social worker doing a care needs assessment and I am dreading that they will decide to send Mum home alone again to her flat with 4 care calls... she had been getting 3 calls a day prior to the UTI that put her in hospital and was really not engaging with the carers, she didn't want them there. She was not managing to cope with anything at all to do with her personal care/hygeine/laundry and would not let anyone help her.
Hoping for a miracle - a decision for 24hr. care which her consultant and GP both say she needs. I don't think there's much hope even though I have POA, Mum can still walk and say she wants to go home, and she cannot self fund.
