I just want to cry...

stacieclark · June 2012

I am 39 weeks, went in yesterday 2cm 50% so my dr stripped my membranes... Was having decent contractions for a good 5 hours then they stopped and I went to bed... Here I am still pregnant.... If will be induced next week if she doesn't come b/c i have a 2 vessel-cord (high risk) and I can't go much past my due date the dr said... I am scared to death to be induced! I know for a fact it leads to c-sections 50% of the time... I've done the research... I just don't understand... My boys were born at 38.5 and 36.5 weeks and I just went into labor... What is wrong with me this time??? My family and friends are driving me nuts; I feel like a failure!

I a being induced tomorrow, because I am past my due date, and have no progress. Try to stay positive, everything will work itself out. They have lots of medicine and tricks to help jump start labor and get you to progress. I know a lot of women who have been induced and had a vaginal birth. Don't feel like a failure, some babies just are to comfy for their own good. I know that family and friends can be a pain, so try to keep minimal conversation with them until you get to the hospital. I wish you the best of luck Yes

My little guy has a 2 vessel cord as well but my doctors don't seem to mind very much. They just have been having me come in twice a week for NST and to measure my fluid level. At my 40wk appt I was only 1cm and soft and all 5 doctors in my practice don't even want to entertain the idea of induction until 42wks. Maybe you could ask your doc why it's nesssasary to induce?

She said b/c the baby also has a VSD - heart defect and she is big - over 9 lbs!!! I guess all 3 things aren't that big of a deal but combined can cause problems.... I will be 1 day shy of 41 weeks at induction.
