Induction Feb 6th..

[MrsBabyBump]

ok, so i officially was booked to be induced this coming Wednesday, which now is tomorrow since its 12:30.
i hope its ok to post here because my doctor told me to be prepared for a section because more than likely thats what i will end up having to have.
apparently my pelvis/bone structure is looking like its too small and thats why lo can't get his head down any further than it already is, which isn't much.
dr. is afraid if he doesn't go ahead and induce that it will make it that much worse on me considering lo is still growing at a good rate.
i have to admit i'm scared, very scared.
i have only prepared myself for a vaginal delivery, not a c-section. and then 2 days before they want to induce me i find it being thrown at me that i should just prepare for a section..ugh.
anybody else had this problem? or just scared and want to talk to help us feel better? lol.

Hey, please don't be scared.

I always said to OH if I had to have a section I'd sh*t myself, then I ended up with an emcs after being in active labour for almost three days.

I can honestly say it was a positive experience and there will be nothing worse than trying to push and then being told to have a section (that's what happened to me) as you're so tired.

I know it's difficult when you've prepared yourself for a vaginal (and this could still happen) and the recovery time is longer for a section but its not as bad as people think, myself included!

Good luck, you'll be fine

Please read my birth story, I hadn't planned on a C-section either, bu it ended up being the most magical experience I could have emagined. It can be very positive if you can keep an open mind and get the right surgical team. Good luck hun, plus your little one makes it worth it no matter what.

c-sections might sound scary but they aren't as bad as people make them out to be. I more than likely will be having my 2nd next week as my cervix isn't cooperating for my vbac and I'd rather have a 2nd c-section than to risk an emcs or a uterine rupture.
Please don't be afraid of them. I know they are highly done out of want vs. need here and many doctors will gladly do one if asked but that's besides the point.
C-sections are done for many medical reasons.
My first was an induction that failed. My cervix wasn't dilating and for 3 days of agonizing pain, I took the c-section because his head wasn't descending. I had an emcs and was scared but at the end, I had a healthy 9lb 2.5 oz baby boy.
Wouldn't trade it for the world. Yes, there's skin and some sagging-I gained 89 lbs >< but with hard work it slowly shrunk and what's left is a love scar on my lower belly.
I really hope your induction works to where you don't need one. If you do, just make the best out of the situation. No one is going to see you ANY different for having a c-section compared to a vaginal birth. The end result is all that matters.
