Thoughts and Prayers to keep baby in a little longer! UPDATE

Klavanga74 · October 2014

Went in for NST this morning and same as last week...she wasn't quite tracking the way they wanted her to. So, like last week they did an US to check fluid levels, which were great. Unlike last week, though, they gave me the option of going straight to the hospital for longer monitoring, or going home, having a good lunch and coming back at 1 to monitor in the office. I chose to come home and then go back. If they still aren't seeing what they want to, they'll send me for induction today. I was really hoping to hold out over the weekend mostly because my son has some big things going on this weekend and I know he'll be crushed if we aren't there for him. It'll just be hard on the older two.

That aside, obviously, I want what's best for the baby, but the other part that's freaking me out is that I am not dilated at all and I'm scared to be induced knowing that they already aren't liking the pattern of her heart rate. I'm scared that labor will be really hard being induced and they'll end up needing to do a c-section. Again, I know that her safety is the biggest concern, but I'm still freaking out a bit. All thoughts and prayers are welcome...to all the ladies in labor today...good luck to you. Wishing you smooth deliveries!!

UPDATE: Yay! She decided to party after I ate a huge lunch topped off with two chocolate chip cookies. They only hooked me up for 15 minutes because she was so active. Now I'm hoping that I dilate between now and Monday so that I can skip going in for cervidil Monday night. They were going to have me go in and not get checked in the office Monday and said if I didn't need the cervidil I'd just spend the night anyway. Umm...no thanks! So, they are letting me come in Monday morning to get checked. Hoping for 2-3 cm and a good night's sleep in my own bed. THANK YOU for the good vibes!
