So earlier this week, at my 39 week doctor appointment, my BP was a little high. The doctor said that I needed to take off work until I had the baby and pretty much be on bed rest. Do nothing - only shower, get a drink or snack and go to the bathroom! That is it! She also said because of my BP she didn't want me going much past my due date, thus I was going to be induced on Monday. She checked my and I had not made any progress at all - NONE! No change from 2 weeks ago. I was not happy. Before I left, she gave me instructions about the induction procedure. I basically will go in to the hospital on Sunday night at 11:45 and they will give me something to make my cervix thin and then start the induction on Monday morning. So, that means, I should have a little tiny baby by Monday! I'm kind of bummed because I didn't want to be induced, but nothing is happening and this baby is content being in my belly. I keep telling her it's not so bad on the outside world!
I've been doing anything and everything this week to help things progress, and no luck. Here it is Saturday and it looks like I will be induced tomorrow night :-( I just hope that everything goes well and she makes her debut soon!
Praying that everything goes well. Maybe you won't have to go through all it because she'll decide to make her big debut today.
ReplyDeleteHopefully she's just waiting to give you a mother's day surprise!
ReplyDeleteI know you are tired of waiting, but please take it easy and be positive. You still have a long way to go, birth that is. ALSO I know you are bummed about being induced, with that being said, don't set your birthing expectations too high. Things are gonna happen the way they are gonna happen. Don't be bummed if it isn't what you thought or wanted to happen. The goal is to bring Logan into this world the safest way possible for the both of you. Sometimes it is definately not what we want, but it is best. Prayers for you.
