I am being induced next week!!! EEEEPS!
Nothing is wrong or anything but my MFM doctor always induces women at 39 weeks with GD. They called my OB today and let them know and I should know by Wednesday next week what day exactly it will be... will be any day after Wednesday.
Eeeek, exciting!
Will they do a stretch and sweep for you before then? That really helped with my 2nd baby x
Say what? I have no idea what those things are..... lol. I don't think they do those very often here in the states?
The only reason they actually gave me an induction date is because I broke down in the office the other day and started crying. My body must be going nuts because of my hormones because I cannot control my emotions the past few days.
I went to my OB appointment on Wednesday and they asked me "so, do you have a birth plan?" I'm like... um what? And they were asking me if the high risk doctors had put together a plan for me.... I said no... I'm just kinda floating in the breeze hanging out with the baby in me and nobody really tells me anything. So, I go to the high risk doctor appointment later that day and they ask me if my OB's office has given me a birth plan. At that point, I flipped my lid. I have some other things going on in my personal life that weren't going well and I was already emotional... so, I flipped out and started crying and was like ranting and raving about how both doctors offices are finger pointing at the other one and I'm the poor pregnant woman in the middle who has no clue what's going on.
I guess because I am so "severely controlled" with diet, my BP is always good and nothing is "wrong" or the baby doesn't look like he weighs 15 pounds they were just letting me casually fly along without much direction. Hell, my high risk appointments were even scheduled on days when the doctors were not actually at the office because they didn't need to see me since I'm doing so well.
So, needless to say, nobody likes a hysterical pregnant woman so the nurse agreed to call the doctor and see what they recommended and what they wanted to do with me. The doctor said yup lets induce her at 39 weeks and we'll even call your OB's office for you and let them know and we'll get everything squared away. They even moved my next appointment to Tuesday instead of Wednesday next week for my high risk appointment and told me the doctors would actually be in that office that day.
After we left, not even 15 minutes later, my OB's office called me to let me know that the high risk doctors called them and I will be being induced next week bla bla bla.... all it took was some ranting and a bunch of tears.
Northern. Induction or otherwise I am thankful for my natural births, even though they weren't easy.
