Karmba labor thread Update

karmba · November 2016

So I'm starting my own thread because I'm bored and didn't want to bother @zubenescamali yet.

This morning at my 37 week appointment my BP was high and there was a small amount of protein in my urine. After that I went to a scheduled NST and BPP. During the NST LO'a heart rate was fluctuating with contractions. So that, combined with the elevated BP and the fact that he's measuring small has led to getting induced. I'm 37 weeks today and my OB didn't want to wait another week or so in case I developed pre-e. It's not what I was hoping for but I agree with her that it's better safe than sorry and that we should go ahead and induce.

Right now I'm 50% effaced with a soft high cervix and baby is at -3 so I'm preparing for this to be a loooooong process.

I'll keep you posted but another November baby is on the way!

Good luck! Hoping for a smooth and uneventful induction and that you have a baby in your arms soon!
