no induction now

in 3rd Trimester

I went to my weekly OB appointment this week and to my (pleasant!) surprise they decided that I'm not being induced now.

After 3 weeks with little to no progress (still 70% eff, 0cm) the nurse practitioner decided that if the baby wants to stay put and come on his own, that's fine by her, and she'll recommend that to the OB when he's in the office. I'm glad this is the decision. I'd rather my son get the time to fully bake before making his appearance - not to mention the mere thought of pitocin was wearing on my psyche. 

So as of now, NO induction on the 4th of January, and back to the waiting game. I have an appointment on the 5th with my actual OB/GYN so we'll see what he says and see if there has been any progress.

Hopefully the little bugger comes around the time he's supposed to - Jan 9th sounds fine to me!

    that is the LAST thing I want.. an induction! I've never had a baby or had pitocin, but it definitely scares me

    good news! being induced scares the heck outta me so i'm praying it happens naturally without any issues. i'd rather be 2 weeks overdue and go natural than be induced on my due date. of course, my feelings may/probably will change once i've made it that far and am miserable. who knows.

    anyways, january 9th is my birthday so i think that's a great day to have a baby! 

    I totally agree with the natural/induction thing. I really want to avoid it at all costs. 

    And January 9th IS a great day!! haha
