Not sure what to do!

in 3rd Trimester

I am 38 weeks and 2 days.My brain is everywhere so sorry if this is a little spacey. LOL!

I have been sick for a week now.... I've basically lived off Mucinex (doctors orders) I am nauseous constantly and have had loose bowels, sorry tmi. I'm nesting terribly and on December 29th went to L&D with very terrible contractions 2-3min apart, 45-60 seconds long and no dilation...My options were to beset home have no sex or they'd admit me and give me morphine!!!! I don't now if it's just me but that seemed wayyyy to harsh. I ended up opting to just go home.  Have had back/tummy contractions and pressure almost everyday since then but non consistent enough to go back.

 I'm not happy at all with the hospital I am at but we are military and don't have a choice. I have yet to see the same OB/Midwife this whole pregnancy and my issues and concerns always seem "looked over." I am due the 22nd and just found out that on the 20th my husband is supposed to go out of state for a week for training! Point being I'm at my breaking point. I finally got a appt tomorrow (so busy they didn't have any appt for 3 weeks!!!)

I really need input on what to do. A) for all the random symptoms, is it pre labor?? && Should I ask to be induced tomorrow? Do you think they would? It's our first child and my husband deploys in March (just got back in February)  So missing her birth would be so crushing considering he is about to be gone again.

 

-Thanks.

    Ive been going through the same thing, without the being sick part .. my S/O left on sunday for olympic training until the 25th and my due date is the 23rd. My OB said I could be induced next Monday at 39 weeks, but to be honest i'd much rather go natural, although once the 18th comes he will be out of the country and wont be able to make it back in time if i do go into labor before the 25th. I can't wrap my head around the possibility of him not being here for the birth, its my first also! I'm hoping that someone has some words of advice for us! Its nice to know i'm not the only one struggling with this. Guess its time for me to put my big girl panties on and be ready to do it myself!
