Induction.. Update!

I tried to update my original post, but for some reason it's not showing up so I created a new post.
I've had four BPPs since Thursday for decreased fetal movement and an extra trip to L&D on Sunday night. After my BPP yesterday, baby passed but in the last minute with lots of poking and prodding. Apparently, my amniotic fluid is decreasing, still in normal range but we don't want it to get dangerously low.
Tomorrow I am going to L&D for the day to have an OCT test, basically a stress test. Enough pitocin to start contractions to see how baby tolerates to see if he can tolerate labor. If he can't, we will have a csection tomorrow. If he can, we will stay pregnant, have a repeat BPP on Saturday and induction on Monday at 37 weeks.
So scary! This is not how I anticipated going into labor, but I want a healthy baby.
Prayers please
Update 5/7 pm:
Baby did amazing today, and he seemed to LOVE the pitocin. It was quite uncomfortable but I managed. We will continue with induction on Monday at 6:00am. I did progress a little to 1 cm dialated, 80% effaced.
Thanks for all the well wishes. I hope the next four days go by quickly!
