3rd Trimester

Back from my very disappointing Dr. Appt :(

Well my cervix is barely a fingertip opened. (she tried to shove her finger up there to open me up, it hurt like hell and still did nothing! )

My cervix was still very thick and not effaced at all.
So my dr has set my induction date for the 16th at 8pm.

If my cervix has opened enough then they will administer the cervadil. (she thinks it will take two doses of 12 hours each)

If it hasnt opened at all then they will try and ripen it with prostaglandins. 

After the cervadil then they will start the pitocin and i will hopefully have my LO in my arms by the 18th. An estimated two days of induction. :( 

But if my cervix is still "unfavorable", a cesarean will be the only option. 

Prayers are needed ladies, for either my cervix to start ripening or for my body to go into labor on its own before then. 

The worst part is that my mom is going to have to extend her stay now and her boss isnt very happy about it. I know God has a plan but this is really hard to be a peace with. 

Re: Back from my very disappointing Dr. Appt :(

  • I'm sorry.  I'm sending you payers and labor dust.  I hope you go into labor soon.

    I'm glad your mom will be able to extend her stay, though it sucks that her boss won't like it.

  • I'm sorry you didn't get good news.  I hope you go into labor naturally, I'm rooting for you!
  • so if your cervix is the same they are gonna make you do a c/s? Even w/o a medical need?

     

  • Well, that is bad news, BUT.... the 16th is a great day! It is mine and DH 2 year anniversary!

    if my body wont go into labor on its own naturally then yes a c/s is the only option. and it will be medically necessary. :( 

  • You seriously need to start drinking Red Raspberry Leaf Tea by the gallons.

    I'm sorry this is happening, of all the Bumpies I barely know, I want you to have the optimal birthing experience and Baby Bear is NOT cooperating. Or maybe it's just your damn cervix.

    I will think nothing but ripening thoughts for you.

    All my fruit jokes will be dedicated to you and focus on ripe or over ripe fruit from here on out.

    Did I mention you need to drink the tea? DRINK THE TEA!

    ::note to self - go and buy the tea and start drinking it for when you are psychologically prepared to have this baby yourself - which could be a few more months, maybe another year or so::?

  • And I was really hoping for good news this time...

     Well, tons of luck and labor dust and prayers and wishes at you and your LO anyway.  Hang in there!

  • I'm sorry to hear this...it must be so frustrating.

    Just prayed for you, baby and DH.  

    Hang in there!

  • I am so sorry!  Sending labor dust you way in a big way!
  • I am sorry about the disappointing DR's appt.

    Sending lots of prayers for you cervix to get busy.

    i am loving the tea and drinking it like crazy! thanks so much red! 

  • For whatever it is worth...

    I have an 8 month old.  I had an induction date scheduled for a Friday.  A week before the appointment (Friday) I had ZERO cervical change - no labor in sight.  The following Sunday night I started having contractions and had my little girl that Tuesday and was not induced.  I beat the scheduled date by 3 days.

    It can happen.  Hang in there and spend a lot of time on an exercise ball =) 

  • I hope that little Dawson has his own plans to come out before then! 
  • Sorry that you didn't get better news but the 18th is a great day!  It's my birthday!!  GL!

    Oh man!  I'm sorry your appt. didn't go the way you wanted, but think positive thoughts!  Anything is possible and try not to think about that induction....your baby just might not be ready to come out...but maybe tonight!  It is so possible!

  • Idk if you will see this, or if you have a backstort but... Fwiw, I was 10 days overdue, and went in for my induction and my cervix was a fingertip (and that was generous according to my nurse!). 7PM, cervadil placed. Checked again at 7 am, still a fingertip. Great. Round two of cervadil at 8 AM. Had contractions all day long. Timeable ones, but nurses assured me they were BH. Checked at 4PM, still fingertip. At this point the plan was to keep the cervadil in until 8PM, and see what to do in the morning. Went to bathroom at 7, cervadil fell out, mucus plug, bloody show, nurse checked me and I was at a 5 at 710. By 749PM I had my baby. :) no time for an epi! If you have any questions you can page me on the parenting board! Good luck! I hope to have as good of delivery next time as I did last time!

  • Oh sweetie! I'm so sorry!!!!!!!!! I am keeping my fingers crossed for you that things just start progressing! Our bodies are crazy things and you never know, one day you can be totally closed up and the next in full blown labor!
  • Just said a prayer for you and LO! Hopefully over the next six days that baby of yours will decide to come out!

  • OH! I'm sorry to here about your disappointing news. I hope that your LO comes naturally before your induction! Prayers & lots of labor dust coming your way !!!!

  • I was induced that same way with my first.  After the second cervidil my water broke on its own.  Then it was on.  I had vag delivery.  Good luck not a bad way to be induced.
