Hello everyone!
I am due on December 23rd, today at my doctor's appointment we were discussing my options and the pros and cons of both.
I told him that I do not want to be in the hospital on Christmas and asked him if it would be possible to induce me on my due date if I haven't gone into labour on my own already.
My first delivery was an emergency section and he informed me that they do not induce women who have previously had a section because the risk of rupture is higher. If I want to be sure that I am not in the hospital for Christmas my OB said we would have to schedule me about a week before my due date and get this baby out. I am considering that but that would mean I am having the baby smack dab in the middle of my finals for school.
So right now my options are allow myself to go naturally and hope I don't go during exams anyway, and hope I am not giving birth on Christmas. Or schedule a section and talk to the school and make alternate arrangements for my finals or apply for aegrotat.
What do you guys think would be my best option in this situaton? I am really quite torn.
