Induction discussion tomorrow.

As some of you may remember (from my incessant complaining all week! lol) I've been having BP issues for a while, and my OB office has been monitoring me pretty closely for the past 2 weeks or so. My OB has been on vacation for a week and a half and I'm FINALLY seeing him tomorrow for the first time since my 37 week apt  when he sent me to L&D for my first set of labs and a BPP.

After a week of bed rest, clear labs, and still elevated BP, the OB that has been seeing me told me on wednesday that my OB would be discussing with me tomorrow weather or not he wanted to let me go past my due date. 

I'm a huge ball of emotions right now..  I had another BPP done today (and got the most adorable picture of Camille's little face) as per request of the OB that has been seeing me, so I guess tomorrow at my appointment we are going to be discussing all of my options. I wanted to avoid medical intervention, and I'm still afraid of the idea of an induction so I'm hoping I've made some progress since wednesday, but my BP has only been averaging higher, and I've had a headache all day that only went away for an hour or so with tylenol, so I honestly don't see them letting me go for much longer. I'm having so many mixed feelings!

I'll keep you all updated!

    I haven't had any of the issues that you have been experiencing but I have an appt tomorrow and am due on Saturday too. I know we will be discussing induction and I am not looking forward to it. I had my son 2 weeks early with a med free birth and I am hoping to go med free (mainly epidural free) again. I don't want to be induced but I also don't know how long to push it. I am very anxious about what the doctor is going to say.

    I also have been monitored for BP issues for the past week. My due date is tomorrow and I will be seeing my doc to discuss my impending induction as well. I'm hoping the baby decides to come on her own this weekend as I'm not looking forward to being induced. I'd like to labor at home as much as possible, but I am aware that I don't always get what I want. I'm hoping we'll set my induction for early next week, although my BP rates were low today for the first time in two weeks. So, I'm stuck waiting too.
