DH told me he is scared/sad about the induction...

So last night he asked me if I thought the induction was for a good reason instead of the doc just saying we need one (pre-e is the reason fyi) So I explained to him that yea, it was and we talked for a long time about it.  He is also disappointed that we will have to have Pit, and prolly an epi.. and he is pretty scared it will all lead into a emergency section.  He wasn't saying anything bad about me or anything just wanted to make sure this was a legit reason.. which I thought was sweet, but it does make me feel even more disappointed in myself.  I know high bp isn't something I can help (other than with bed rest) and overall the most important thing is having a healthy baby and mom, but its so hard knowing the birth story isn't going to be anywhere near what we had hoped for. This post really has no point.. just a little vent and I'm alone today so didn't have anyone else to talk to about it..

    I just realized that it could look like DH isn't excited about the induction.. He 100% is, he really can't wait to meet his little man and either can I... Just to be clear about that.. lol

    I understand.  If my LO hasn't made an appearance by Tuesday I'll be having an induction as well, something DH and I were hoping to avoid. Like you and your DH, we are disappointed but know that really the most important thing is a healthy baby (which I can tell you agree with). Good luck!

    No worries hon, it read to me like he was very concerned/a great advocate for you to get the birth you wanted. It sounds like he is nervous for his little boy and only wants the best birth for both of you.

    I think its perfectly understandable for him to be nervous about the induction. However, like you said, its not like its happening for no reason. I am sure he understands that it might be more dangerous for you and LO to wait much longer. He sounds like he is going to be a great Daddy. I would stress to him that though you understand that he is scared, and you will be as well, you are gonna need him to help you stay focused during the birth. Maybe that way he will kick into macho man mode to take care of you on the day of and be super attentive.

    I am in the same boat if our little girl does not make her appearance on her own by next thursday (which judging by my internal yesterday looks unlikely--no prgress anywhere.)  My husband is just so darn excited to know that at the very latest he will be meeting his daughter next week that i don't think he thought about the other stuff.  I think, much like me, he realizes that while we want to be the primary decision makers in our daughters birth scenario, we also understand that as an engineer and director of development respectively, we need to take the doctors advice and do what is best for our baby. 

     

    Now all we have to do is get through the next week...arghhh :)

     

    Good luck and best wishes!!
