I've been keeping an eye on this thread to see if there had been any progression. I'm glad you're taking the relax advice very seriously and that they are open to letting him come on his own terms (so far at least).
I am torn between wanting to try induction again next week as I will be 40 weeks (aka hopefully it will be an easier process as my body might be more "ready" to let him out) or to let him come on his own--but I hate the idea of waiting longer. I also really do not want to go into August with this kid!
I'm sure the waiting/wondering is just the worst! Whatever you feel best with is the way to go. If you are still doing ok and your providers feel it's ok and safe I wouldn't question to just keep doing what you're doing and taking it one day at a time. If you need to be induced again hopefully your body is more ready. Good luck chica!!
P.S. My H's birthday is tomorrow on the 21st. A great day. 😉
oh man! I'm so sorry you are still pregnant! I remember the frustration with my first, when she just wouldn't come.
how many cm do you have to be to have a Pitocin induction?
While I didn't want any induction at all (I wanted to do med free birth) I found the Pitocin induction to be much better than the two cervadil attempts. But maybe the cervadil ripened the cervix... so that is why the Pitocin went "better"?? I have no idea, it's so hard to know
OMG I came back to this thread assuming the kid was already born! Holy cow - I'm so sorry this has taken so long. No advice I can give or anything but I'm wishing you all the best and hoping your beautiful baby arrives soon.
Oh man, my state of baby limbo wasn't quite like yours (I was waiting 3 days for a bed to be available in my L&D as we ticked past 41 weeks) but it was still torture. Fingers crossed for you!
Thanks, all. I am not having a problem being pregnant so far; I mean there are a million complaints, but compared to how awful that induction was, I really feel like I am physically ok. It is just the anxiety of waiting for this to happen is a bit weird! But it has been just about a week since we came home (tomorrow will be a week) and it really has been a wonderful and relaxing week. G and I have had great conversations and he has been so helpful with my anxieties. I will let you know what I find out after the ultrasound today!
NO progress made on my end. I am just too good of a host for this little guy! Right now the plan is...there is not much of a plan. I have another appointment on Monday and then the team will discuss on Tuesday if I need to be inducted. Right now the induction is scheduled for Wednesday night. I am of the feeling that if my body does not progress at all before then and it is not medically necessary, I probably won't opt to be induced. If there IS progress and I finally hit 3 cm on my own then I would be willing to go forward with the induction because I would be able to start with pitocin rather than cervadil, so it shouldn't be AS LONG as last week. So no news basically.
Didn't make it to my appointment because we went into labor on our own! I am laboring through regular contractions right now while G sleeps on the hospital couch. Trying to distract myself for now and hoping he is here later today
I am focusing on just the very next step because if I think about pushing out a baby I get so freaked out, haha

Don't think about the pushing part! It's so weird. Glad to hear you went into labor on your own. Can't wait to meet your little one. (heart)
