T&Ps and encouragement much appreciated right now...

I'm 39 weeks today and had an OB appt this morning. I've been having issues with elevated BP for my entire pregnancy but have shown no other signs of looming pre-e. However , my OB is very uncomfortable with the continuing upward trend my BP is showing so today he said he wants me admitted to L&D tonight to start the induction process. We'd discussed induction at my last few appts (I've been going 2x weekly for OVs and NSTs for a couple of weeks now) so hearing him say the word wasn't new but now that we're actually going to be getting this party started I'm terrified. I'm excited as all get out to meet my little girl but I'm scared about how things are going to go. I just don't want anything to happen to her. Plus my cervix is not favorable so the first dose of Cervidil might not even do it. Everything feels very surreal right now. I've been crying my eyes out off and on since I left my OB's office and now I'm home rushing trying to get everything done and wishing my husband would leave work and come home early so I could just snuggle up with him and cry some more before I have to call L&D at 6pm to see if they have a bed open yet. I feel like a big blubbering idiot right now but this rainbow of emotions is throwing me for a loop. T&Ps much appreciated for a happy, healthy delivery and a happy, healthy baby! Also while I'm thinking about it, I want to thank everyone on this board for your incredible stories and advice and helpful hints which have been amazingly helpful and reassuring to a FTM like myself. You can google anything you want, but nothing beats hearing things from someone who has BTDT! :-)

    Good luck with everything! I had to have cervidil twice, and pitocin for two days, but then I got to meet my son. I understand the nerves and the terror, but just keep focused on the end goal of seeing your girl soon. You can do this!

    Best wishes for a safe delivery. Focus on baby and you being joined outside the womb. You will be so overjoyed and relieved no matter how the delivery is made. And remember that things will more likely go easier if you are relaxed as possible. Take a few deep breaths, picture your LO in your arms and all the unconditional love in the world. Lots of prayers!!!
