Hormonal Mess Today :(

robynlesley

I'm crying and I'm stressed over my husband's boss being an evil beyotch (the Bump censored the actual word) and wanting to take off the last week of August?when he was planning to take off to be with me.

I scheduled the induction for next Thursday night (get to L&D at 8 pm for Cervadil and an Ambien; Pitocin on the 14th) and the other option for induction was on Tuesday the 11th.

My DH wants to know if I can switch to the 11th so he'd take off that week and the following. But I don't know if I can switch now and I feel terrible for inducing at 40w5d and not giving my baby the full week past his EDD to come on his own.

So I'm still crying and I want to have this baby already and I know it's only my due date today and first babies can be late but what the hell with all these freaking stories I hear about women over 35 giving birth earlier? I hope my DH understands if I can't switch the induction.

Awww, Robyn, hugs to you! I'm sorry your H's boss is being a jerk--I can't believe she's going to take off when she knows he was taking off to be with his wife and newborn son!!

I hope you feel better soon and that H's boss comes to her senses!!?

So sorry you have to deal with this now, Robyn!  That is very insensitive of your H's boss...you would think with her being a woman that it would be the opposite.  I hope you can work something out!

Hang in there, Robyn!   This could all be worry for nothing. 

Your kiddo could decide TOMORROW that it's time to arrive!  Or this weekend! 

Then crazy boss woman doesn't have much of a say in it!

Oh Robyn....Big, huge Hug!!!! To u and DH.  This women sounds like a real piece of work!! Someone should tell Cruella de Vil Halloween isn't until October!

Like Bridebuddies said he may decide to come tomorrow! No matter what I hope it all works and you and your wonderful family can be together.

Thanks ladies.  Jonathan (my DH) came home and made me feel much better. My "lead" OB doesn't want me to switch my induction, so it will remain the 13th?unless the baby comes on his own sooner.

And my husband will take off that Thursday and Friday and the following week. If he can't take the last full week of August, he'll take the next one too. Someone will stay with me that 2nd week.

If the scheduling coordinator calls me back tomorrow, I'll say that I spoke to my doctor and that she wanted me to keep the other date.

I still hope my kid comes on his own before then.

Oh Robyn! I just know he'll come before then! Try not to let it get you down. I am sorry his boss is being so inconsiderate!

That sucks but I wouldn't change the induction, leave it at 41 weeks. It's best to have the baby come when he's ready than inducing. All kind of issues can happen with induction, that's why I'm hoping for labor to start on its own too. GL w/ whatever you decide, do what's best for you and the baby, unfortunately your DH comes third in this scenario.

I'm so sorry you're having a rough time Robyn.

And I'm starting to think those stories are bunk. I mean, how many of us have gone late?

Aww Robyn, sorry you had such a rough time yesterday. I'm glad you DH was able to make you feel better and it really sux that his boss is planning to take time off (to be fair, she may have a valid reason for needing that time off). Everything will work out as it should and I really hope your LO decides to make an appearance this weekend.

 

I pray that I am one of those people that go early but I just know that won't be the case. I've alrady been having talks with her about the fact that she needs to be born in 2009.

I'm so sorry that you have to deal with this. Like others have said maybe it will be a non-issue and you'll see your LO before the induction.

robynlesley

Thanks for all the posts... (((HUG)))

My DH's boss is just selfish, however. He told her ages ago that he'd need two weeks off in August but wouldn't know when until the baby arrived. She's known I was pregnant since I was 12 weeks along. And she could have taken off in late July or early September. But whatever. I won't work myself up about this.

I still hope this baby comes out this weekend. I'm crampy but that's it. But maybe he'll come anyway.

Awww, Robyn, I am so sorry!

Your husband's boss needs a smack upside the head.
