Jen, hopefully they start working soon.. You've been on them for a little while now, right?

It's only been a few days. I was trying to decide whether I really needed them or not, and then I read stuff where people's dr's had told them if they didn't get their iron levels up they might need a transfusion after the birth. So I decided to start taking them.
It gives me hope that Erika started feeling better right away.
But I've also read that it can take up to 6 weeks to start working. So... in that case, I might not see the benefits until I'm actually IN the hospital.
Either way, I decided they're important. But I'd like to feel better now.

Okay ladies im back still only 2cm. Im headed to the hospital tonight to be induced. I check in at 8pm. And they will place the cervadil to see if it starts contractions. If not they will start pitocin in the morning.

 

[DrGomps]

yay Erika for getting the ball rolling!! bet you feel relieved....hopefully you don't need the pitocin.

Rachel, love your new avatar pic.

[DrGomps]

well hopefully the gel works and kicks start labor so you don't need the pitocin...if you have the gel do you have to stay on the monitors or can you walk around??

Andrea im not sure. He did say they will give me an iv when I get there. At my last induction the gel didnt work but I also wasnt dilated at all. This time im already soft and 2cm so maybe it will work better. I hope I can walk around.

Thanks Stacey.

AWWW so glad things are getting moving Ericka - can't wait to hear news, good luck xxx

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Ooh, good luck Erika!!!
I'm so excited! Hopefully baby will be here tomorrow!!
I'm glad the dr is moving things along for you. It would've been so frustrating just to get sent home. So by now you've been in for an hour... can't wait for an update.

Yes, the iron is a prescription. 325 mg twice a day.
I figure they'll check my blood again next week and we'll see where I'm at. If they don't seem like they're going to, I'll ask if they will.
I'm trying to take it with juice and not have any milk when I take it, but it's hard. I have to take it twice a day, and the milk really helps with my heartburn.

Love the avatar, Rachel! Look at that smile!!
