so because of all the problems with this pregnancy...we have a plan now...

So, I am 35 weeks Sunday. Or Saturday depending on which due date you listen to, haha. The hospital and my doctor aren't in agreement on this one.

Anyway, I have AFI's every Monday. If my fluid levels drop down below 5, I will be induced. If I reach 39 weeks, I will be induced. If baby stops growing or her growth slows down anymore, I will be induced.

The furthest into the future I will be allowed to go (39 weeks) is April 23rd or 24th. YIKES!

So now I'm hoping my body just kicks into gear, lol. I really don't want to be induced, I want this to happen naturally... I really don't want an epidural but I keep being told if they induce, I will want it.

Why can't I just have a normal pregnancy and delivery?

Don't get me wrong, I'm so excited for my Lyla to be born. I'd repeat the entire pregnancy in a heartbeat. But at the same time...why me? Lol

Glad you have a plan! Goodluck with it What were your complications this pregnancy. Sounds similar to my plan last week which has now changed drastically

Drink plenty of water and try to keep those fluids up- and good luck!

Previous m/c's, and then with this pregnancy, a threatened m/c, baby is an IUGR baby, she has a two-vessel cord (instead of 3 like it's supposed to), and have been battling preterm labor since 29 weeks or so. Doctors now are pretty much to the point where if I go in again in fullblown labor, it's just gonna happen. And cuz of growth and amniotic fluid problems, and the two-vessel cord, they won't let me go past 39 weeks.
