Induction tonight - anyone else still pregnant?

violajack

I'm 41 weeks today and so ready to be done with this.  Huge kudos to you ladies who can wait it out until 42.  I took the induction as soon as it was offered to me.  I just don't trust my body to get going without a kick.  It has 10 hours to get going on its own, or we head into the hospital tonight to get the process started.  

I'm so excited to be joining the outside-baby-club.  I already feel so prepared from reading about everyone who's already had their baby.  I've mostly lurked until recently just because being on the tail end of the month means everyone is going through things ahead of me and most of the things that came up for me had already been asked and answered before I ran into them.  

Is anyone else here still pregnant?  How are you holding up?

Congrats!  As a fellow inductee (sounds way more prestigious than it was) I recommend hounding the staff for frequent cervical checks.  

I went from 1.5 to 8 cm in about an hour and they all acted shocked.  I had to ask them to check me because I was convinced I could feel it happening.

Just remember to be assertive about what  you need and want.  Congrats! on making it to the finish line- you can do it

I'm not still pregnant...we finally welcomed our LO on Saturday after an induction. I just wanted to say good luck as a fellow mom who was induced. Don't feel bad about wanting to be induced a 41 weeks....I was 40 weeks and 5 days along when my doctor induced me. I had a good experience....the waiting in the hospital was the worst part, but once he arrived it was all worth it!!

 Good luck!

I am also another successful induction and it was a great experience for me. the labor was long 23 hours but I am ready to do it again . it goes by so fast. good luck and be sure to post us a story. I am so excited for you momma. and ditto on the cervical checks my nurse got so paranoid when we found out I was ready to go. hahaha we couldnt get a hold of the dr.

I too was induced at 41 weeks but beacause of low fluid levels. Started at 2:30am and had a baby in my arms at 9:02pm. Best of luck to you!

Wow ladies, thank you for all the great induction stories. I'm so excited and feeling a lot more optimistic. Just over three hours until we get this show on the road.  I'll have to take notes to have a good birth story ready for next week.

Still pregnant here - induction is set for Tues morning. I will be 42w 1d. I really wanted to give my body the fair chance to do this naturally... I am kind of regretting not scheduling it for today. The baby still has not engaged into the birth canal. I'm miserable.

 But congrats on your LO arriving soon. Wish you all the best!
