ready to meet my little girl :

raelynnsmommie · March 2013

so, i went to the doctor last week to find out i am 1cm dilated and 50 effaced. I've already lost my mucous plug... and on top of all that they changed my due date from the 13th to the 8th... so now they are considering inducing next week :. i have been beyond excited, thinking she was coming sooner than i had thought. but now i am beginning to get frustrated. i have had very inconsistent yet frequent bh and lots of back pain since losing the mucous plug. so I'm just getting very impatient and i am terrified to be induced. i have been trying to naturally get things going, sex, walking etc.. but no luck. i just want her to come on her own.

I'm a ftm and just dont know what to think. I'm just scared of induction. anyone else feel like this? i guess I'm just ranting...lol. well i have had a healthy blessed pregnancy, no complications, very low risk, but the thought of induction is terrifying. and with her being over 8lbs already in not sure how much longer she can stay in there... any advice? thoughts? thanks for reading

ps her name will be raelynn jade :

I'm am with you....really want my baby girl to come on her own. A lot of induced labor end in c-sections which makes me extremely nervous. I don't want to be induced unless its absolutely necessary. I'm trying to stay patient for my LO to come. I'm due on the 19th. Try squats or spicy food!

I was due on March 6th and feel the same way as you. I don't want to be induced either. I have a doctor appointment tomorrow to discuss induction. My doctor office will only wait 1 week past your due date and then they want to induce. I just feel that so many births are rushed and when the baby is ready to arrive they will. I feel frustrated and scared as well. I hope that both our babies arrive on their own soon and that we don't have to be induced. Good luck to you!!

I was scheduled To get induced today at 8 pm and I'm currently in the hospital, went naturally into labor yesterday morning. My doc gave me 10 days. ..why are they inducing you so early?

SPIJaimie · March 2013

These last few weeks have been so terrible and drawn out! My dr made it sound like he would skip induction altogether because of LO's size which he is estimating is at 9 lbs these days. I will move straight to c section I think unless this kid gets moving. I have tried all the myths too. I'm scared like you of not letting LO come naturally. When is your next dr appt? I would definitely let your OB know any concerns or questions if you feel like you can make it a little longer. Hope you get to meet Raelynn Jade soon!
