I went to my 39 week check up today and was told that I was 4 cm dilated. I then asked doc how far passed due date do I have to be to be induced. He said "Your baby is pretty big and your cervix is favorable so I could induce you anytime after today". I said , what about tomorrow and he said, "I'll be right back." He came back in with an order to induce tonight at midnight. I didn't know you had to meet so many criterion to be induced but my Bishop score was a 10 so....baby will be here tomorrow!!! Yay!
I must be a total loser but what is a Bishop score
It's a list of criteria that allows you to have elective induction. It asks how effaced, dilated, and soft the cervix is. Also, the positon of the baby and station of the baby.
Re: Good News!!!!
Everything is ready to go. Can't wait to see LO.
It's a scoring system to tell how favorable one is for induction.
