Induction plans

Had my 38 week check up today. Third cervical check and zero dilation or progress at all. He says, "it seems slightly soft..." every week but I think he's just being polite. Lol

Due date is the 30th and if baby doesn't come on his own we will go in for cervadil late Nov. 2nd and start pitocin Sunday morning Nov. 3rd.

He really hopes I dilate at least a little between now and then because he is worried about giving pitocin with zero natural progress. I bought an exercise ball today to bounce on to hopefully get some dilation going.

I don't mind waiting that long for baby to come, I'm just scared of having a harder labor with no dilation to start with. That was my doctors concern as well.

Any dilation vibes you got layin' around, mind if I take them? :)

  • I hope you start to make some progress soon! Lots of walks, sitting and bouncing on the exercise ball, evening primrose oil, sex. Good luck!

  • Sending vibes that baby decides to come on its own! 

     And I also scheduled an induction 1 week after my due date with my first because I had made absolutely no progress at my 40 week appt, but the day after I scheduled it I went into labor on my own.  Got to the hospital at 4 cm dilated and progressed to 10 in an hour and a half.  Just because you haven't made any progress yet, doesn't mean you won't in the next few weeks and/or quickly overnight.

  • Hopefully you don't end up being induced, but bounce away on that ball.

    ::::dilation vibes coming your way:::::

    FYI - my friend went to her 38 week appt and was told no dilation, no effacement, and she hadn't even had one BH.  11pm that night, her water broke and by the time they got to the hospital she was 4cm, 70% effaced, and contractions were 2 minutes apart.  FX you don't need the induction!

  • Sending dilation vibes your way!!

    I agree that it can all change over night. I hadn't had one BH my entire pregnancy and at my 40w appointment I wasn't dilated at all, the next day I was at 2cm dilated and within hours I was 6cm dilated.

    I hope LO decides to come on his own and that he picks his own birthday. :)
  • I was induced 2 days after my due date and did the cervadil/pitocin route.  While it wasn't my ideal birth plan, i will say that it did go smoothly.  My progression was slow but steady and at the end of it all you'll get to hold that sweet new baby in your arms!  Good Luck!!!!

  • Cervadil, a failed induction, and a C-section for me.  It sucked balls but it was worth it in the end!  AGswife had my giant overdue pregnant ass doing squats hourly in my office.  It did not help. :) Hopefully your baby is less stubborn than mine!

    Well, damn. Lol He has to come out one way or another so we will take whatever comes to get him here safely. Until then, I will bounce away!

  • I second the sex recommendation. We had ST in the morning and my water broke that night. DS was born the next morning.

  • We also had plans to go out to a benefit and uttered the phrase "This will be our last big night out before the baby" often. That's probably what did it.

  • I'm so excited for you the baby will be here before you know it!!

     

    and lots of dialation vibes headed your way:)

  • Sending dilation vibes your way! If it makes you feel better. I was 39w6d before I even barely started dilating and even the day I was due I went in the am to be told I was maybe a 1. By 5pm I was a 4. So anything can happen. :o)

    Speak sweetly so that if you ever have to eat your words, they don't taste bad.

    Lesson learned!!

  • Successful, fast induction at 39&5 started at a 1.
