Induction Scheduled!

So I had a false alarm last night in L and D. I've been in early labor for a couple days and got to the point last night where I thought it was time. But, they gave me an ambien and sent me home since I was just 1cm and 50% effaced and my cervix was still facing posteriorly. I went to the doctor today, and I'm 2 cm, 60% effaced and my cervix is facing anteriorly now! She scheduled me for an induction Thursday morning! I'm so nervous! What should I expect/do before??

Re: Induction Scheduled!

  • I am with ya! Went to the doc this morning at 39/4 and found out my blood pressure was elevated. He told me that I could refuse but he would like to have me come in tomorrow morning to have cervidil started and get the ball rolling. Said its a lot easier if the blood pressure doesn't get out of control before baby is born, making one less thing we have to worry about afterwards (hopefully!). I am so nervous and so excited. Trying not to do to much reading as it seems everyone handles induction differently. I've had 2 friends recently induced and their stories are so different, however neither of them ended up with any sort of intervention and that's all I'm hoping for (and of coarse and perfect healthy little baby!). Wishing you an easy induction and easy delivery!
