3rd Trimester

This is it...

Tomorrow I go in to have my water broken. I am so stressed out. I've already had one failed induction (last week- 44hrs long), and I'm not feeling positive at all about this one either. Im pretty sure I'll end up with a csection. But the doctors have stressed me out so bad, I just want it to be over. I am glucose intolerant (passed the 3hr gtt, b/s have been fine) and the doctors are pushing me because there is a slightly higher chance of the placenta deteriorating. I also have high anxiety and I dont think I can emotionally wait it out any longer.
I'm pretty depressed that I may not get the vaginal delivery I wanted. Trying to make peace with all of this. Any positive thoughts or prayers would be much appreciated.
     I am really excited to see my baby girl. I just hope I am doing the right thing for her sake. This is so stressful!

  • I had a csection with my first and it isn't so bad.  You will have your beautiful DD in your arms either way.  Don't worry about it because you won't want to feel disappointed on the day of your DDs birth.  Good luck and positive thoughts!

  • Don't be too discouraged yet.  You are only just now 41 weeks.  All 3 of mine were delivered at 41 weeks.  Your body may just not have been ready to deliver the first time they tried.  I walked around at 4cm with all of mine for weeks and nothing I tried would make the labor start.  My body just needed that full 41 weeks I guess.  But, the most optimistic thing I can say to you is that when your baby comes out, he/she will be very well cooked and likely very healthy due to the longer gestation.  Pretty sure more of my mom friends than not have had c-sections and it doesn't seem to faze them at all.  I think once you have the baby with you it is easy to look over the logistics of how it got here.  Good luck and try not to get too stressed - it's almost over!

  • I hope everything works in your favor this time.  Sorry to hear you are having to go through this.  It is one of my fears as well.  I just want everything to happen naturally, but sometimes it doesn't.  Hang in there.  When your LO is in your arms, nothing else will matter.

    This. At the end of the day, all that matters is that both you and DD come out of whatever kind of delivery you have safely. And you never know, this induction could work and you could have your vaginal birth. Sending positive vibes your way lady!
