DH and I went to our appt last evening, expecting just a routine visit to check up on my blood pressure, which had been elevating for the past few visits. It was the highest it's ever been (somewhat because I was nervous) and though there were almost zero traces of protein in my urine culture, the doctor decided that all things considered: my blood pressure, the fact that the protein could increase by my next visit, and the fact that I was already 2 and a half cm. dilated and 50% effaced, he decided that conditions were good to be induced tomorrow rather than risk developing toxemia/pre-e later. Otherwise, baby and I are both healthy and he's full term so we have a green light to go ahead and deliver safely! Though I'm nervous I have never been more excited to meet somebody in my life!!!!!!
We go in at 5:00 tomorrow morning!
Re: Getting induced tomorrow!!!!
Thanks everyone! and @ 04TerpBride: my bp was 150/90 which is pretty high for me. That and the fact I had gained roughly 5 lbs in a 9 day span, but hadn't experienced any other symptoms.
Best wishes!!! My nerves are also going. I have my Dr appt tomorrow and they will be checking how I'm progressing for the first time. Because I'm over 40, I've been warned that I will be induced next week unless I go on my own.
Hope you have a wonderful and safe delivery!!
