appointment update ::sigh::

I'm almost 2 cm. Progress...but this BSC woman (Dr. G) is already talking about inducing me if I go 4 days over. "I do NOT go past 40 weeks, 4 days. Do NOT." <<exact words. I don't understand why, I have perfect health, Isabelle is perfect. ...This baby better make this happen because I do not want to be induced. Do NOT. Sooo I need some labor dust..I never thought I'd ask for labor dust before my due date but Dr. G isn't giving me any choice. Crazy bish.

Re: appointment update ::sigh::
haha I'm going to need it by this weekend because she is scheduling that sucker Monday if I haven't already gone into labor.
It shocked me. I was like "uhh" and then she went on to something else. If I haven't gone into labor by my appointment Monday, I'm going to beg her to give me those 3 more days. It's just 3 days..shiiiit.
That is mental. I'd be setting up a serious arguement for my next appt.
::pouts:: Fine! If Little I is as stubborn as I think she is, you'll at least play with us for another day or so.
--Insert OBH's cool labor dust here--
You better start convincing your H that you need his thunder stick to help get this labour moving along. How can he resist you when you're so upset and desperate to not be induced?
*labour dust and sex dust sent your way*
No, A just needs to give you some progress already!!!
Labor dust coming your way!!
But I don't think you need to worry. You're making progress--I bet she'll come on her own! I thought this morning was it for you . . .
I'll just tell her to give me the 3 days. Unless she has a logical medical reason, I will not be showing up until I'm am 6 days overdue. She can suck it.
I thought so to, those contractions were not playing around...and then *poof* they were gone. haha

This is the moment when all those myths come into play:
Get some spicy food, a foot rub, a pedicure, sex, a long walk. Sending you tons of labor thoughts.
I would ask her for a reason. It probably has more to do with the fact that she only does inductions on certain days and she wants to get you on the schedule.
However, if I were you, I would start walking, walking, walking, and tell hubby to give you all he's got! It won't completely make it happen, but it certainly helps get your whole body ready when you are this far along.
Good luck. Also, just in case you have to...induction isn't that bad, it just isn't the excitement of not knowing when.
Boooo!!! Dr. G. Boooo!!!
**Copious amounts of labor dust being blown your way**
Don't forget that she can't force you to be induced. It's a medical procedure and you have every right to decline it if you feel that it's unnecessary. If you start getting really antsy, I would tell Dr. G that you respect her opinion and appreciate that she's looking out for your and baby's safety, but that you've read other things about the relative risk of babies being post-due and you'd like to get a second opinion from another OB before you agree to an induction so early.
Have you tried compromising with her? Asking her to let you go longer as long as you're willing to do NSTs, have adequate fluid levels, etc.?
I agree that it seems unreasonable to have a blanket rule that is that conservative.
ha-ha that would be funny...let her schedule it and then just dont go. Be like oh my bad...I was busy that day. I mean what could they do? Seriously?
This. Unless there is a medical reason to induce at 40w4d, she can't force you to show up at the hospital. I'd ask why she doesn't want to wait and ask for a second opinion. I wasn't induced until nearly 42 weeks and baby was totally fine in there.
I am not above it. I'll just tell her she can schedule me all she wants but I will not be there. Go ahead and write a big fat "AMA" on my chart.
This. It's so common for first-time moms to go 41+ weeks. You don't have to consent to an induction. Please remember that! She may be wearing the white coat, but it's your body and your baby. And if everything is fine, why not let her come when she's ready?
One thing that will help you go into labor (if your body is ready) is acupuncture.
If they're anything like my clinic probably charge you an arm and a leg!!
bahaha I would most certainly face plant if I tried that right now.
Do you have access to a good amount of olive oil and a trampoline?
You can get that kid out without being induced :-P
Mentally, I'm sending heaps of labor dust your way.
I would absolutely refuse. Unless there are medically necessary reasons specific to YOU, there is no reason to induce that early.
I allowed a doctor to talk me into an unnecessary induction with DS and there's no way in hell they're making me do that again unless they have a very good reason for it.
If it's not what you want, don't be afraid to hold your ground. This is your body and your baby and contrary to some beliefs, even doctors don't get it right every time. Be your own advocate and good luck!
I'm not a huge proponent of induction, BUT...
1) If you have a big baby, it'll help with the size of the baby. My baby was almost 9 pounds, and if I hadn't been induced and she grew ANY larger, I would have had to get a C-section. Her head was ginormous.
2) I think one of the things that they worry about is the baby pooping in the womb. That's what my doc told me.
My doctor really encouraged me to get induced before 41 weeks. But she also told me that it is ultimately up to me, even though she felt uncomfortable going that long. No matter what, it is your choice, but most doctors do have their reasons - so I'd definitely talk to her about it.
