I feel like crying... update on me

Lucky428

I've been having painful contractions and pressure all week.  I was sincerely hoping it would have made me progress. 

The day started out bad.  I woke up puking at 5 and I've been sick since.  I have a bad migraine also.  I went to the doctor and I'm still 50% effaced and a finger tip dilated. 

We talked about my extreme anxiety, and she said if I really wanted, she would induce me today, but since my cervix isn't favorable, it increases my chances of a c-section.  I really don't want a c-section.

So now I go for NSTs.  My first one is on Tuesday.  She says if I progress to 1-2cm dilated and 75% effaced then she will admit me and induce. 

The farthest she'll let me go is October 20th.  The thought of 11 more days of this makes me want to cry...  I really hope I can make some progress.

ETA: DH has decided to take his leave now.  He gets paid paternity leave, plus he has tons of vacation and sick time.  My anxiety attacks are minimal when he's home.  I have the option of taking meds but I really don't want to.  We decided it's best for him to be home with me.

GL! I hope that you can get induced tuesday, but at least the end is in sight.

Will they let you take anything for the migraine at this point? I know my OB gave me vicodin for mine but I think they said I will have to not take it towards the very end.

I take Fioricet.  It works okay for me.  It takes the edge off.  I just took some so I'm hoping it kicks in soon.

I'm so sorry you're going through this. I will pray for you and hope that you make some progress so you can be induced soon. Hang in there, I'm glad your DH will be home with you. HUGS

Thanks, ladies.

I also want to add I am extremely grateful for a pretty easy 3rd tri.  It seems like we got all our complications out of the way during 2nd tri.  I'm so grateful for no GD or pre-e or anything like that.  I'm very appreciative that he is so strong and healthy and my doctor is cautious.
