DH won't miss the birth!
Mnerani
member
I've posted about how DH has to go to India and China for 2.5 weeks, starting 3 days before my due date.
We were under the impression that I had to go into labor naturally because I'm having a VBAC. However, we discussed it again with my OB last week, and she agreed to do a gentle induction starting tomorrow! She said that since my cervix is very favorable (totally effaced and almost 3cm) and things are going really well with my pregnancy, she is willing to work with us to make sure that it happens before DH leaves. I know there are still risks and that I might end up with a repeat C, but I was starting to really freak out about him not being around, so I'm willing to take certain risks.
The plan is: place a foley bulb at her office tomorrow at 4pm, dilate overnight, go to the hospital at 7am on Thursday and start antibiotics (I'm GBS pos), then break my water once I've been on the antibiotics for 4 hours. If breaking my water doesn't work after a long time (she's going to be very patient), then she'll use a "kiss" of pitocin and I'll be monitored very closely.
I am SO ready for this and I have a great feeling about it. Mostly, I feel a huge weight lifted, knowing that no matter what, DH will get to witness the birth of our second son.
Wish me luck!
