Seriously want to cry

Last week my doctor scheduled my induction for June 18. Up until now I had decided not to do cervical checks. She said since I am being induced they would have to do one this visit. So  today she did one and said it's completely closed still. If nothing happens in the next 12 days they'll either cancel my induction and let me go into labor naturally or do a c-section.

First, I don't understand why they have to induce me if they're willing to cancel it and let me go naturally. Second, I am really hating having NO idea what is going to happen. DH hasn't wanted to have sex for awhile now because he's uncomfortable with the thought of his baby in there and everything, and now all of a sudden he's all about wanting to do it to see if it will help thin me out. I don't want to have sex now for a few reasons. First, I'm so uncomfortable. Plus, now after knowing how much he didn't want to before I feel like he's just doing it because he feels like he has to or something and I don't want that. I just want to quit today!

Re: Seriously want to cry

  • I would have sex, even if it was uncomfortable, if it could help me avoid a major surgery. At least your H is willing to try to help. Plus, it will be at least 6 weeks before you can have sex again, so why not at least try to enjoy it?

  • I would seriously side eye the doctor. Why the heck would they induce if they are willing to let you go into labor on your own. I'm sorry you're feeling so overwhelmed.

    That is how I am feeling. He has been measuring small the whole pregnancy and they said it could be genetic since I was small, but they're afraid he's not getting the nutrients he needs so they decided to induce me. But they were only inducing me a week early... I really wanted to go naturally because I want to try as hard as I can not to get an epidural, but now I have everything set up with my work that I will be out after June 18 because of the induction. I'm just hoping at my appointment next Wednesday they'll be able to give me some better information

  • I don't understand why they want to schedule an induction (unless there is a reason you didn't mention) when you won't even be 40 weeks then.  My dr won't even talk to me about an induction until the 11th and my DD is on the 10th.

    Sorry. He has been measuring small this whole pregnancy and they are afraid he isn't getting the nutrients he needs.
