We have a date!

Just came from the OB and I am being induced this Thursday! Holy Crap!

I am scared, excited, nervous and just flabbbergasted at the fact that we will meet our little guy by this weekend!

 

* And before there are any judgements about a pre-40-week induction. An induction has always been planned for me because of my blood clotting issues and need for heparin shots + the extra issue of GD.

    Wow!  I hope the next 3 days go by quickly for you!

    No judgments here, I'll be induced because clotting issues too.  You gotta do what it takes to have a safe delivery and healthy baby. 

    I can't remember, do you know the sex or will it be a surprise?

  • Lol No judgments from me.  When I was told that I would be induced at my due date (before we decided on the c-section) I was thrilled.

  • Thanks ladies. I didn't think I'd really get flack here, but the tri- boards tend to jump all over people for this.

     

    CBL- It's a boy.

  • Oh man I hope the next few days goes by quickly! Will they start your induction with the gel or do they go straight to the IV drugs?
  • He's starting me with a foley balloon catheter on Wed. and then Thurs. I will go in for the oxytocin.
  • Good Luck!!  I had a great induction with Joshua at 37 weeks and it looks like another early induction this time because I have a two-vessel umbilical cord so around 39 weeks.

  • Super exciting! Good luck!

  • Oooh, so exciting!

    I remember signing my admission papers at the hospital when it struck me - "holy crap, I'm having a baby!" LOL

    How awesome is that, that you'll be holding your little guy in your arms in just a few days?!

    And no judgements here on induction - your doctors are making the decision that is best for you and your baby!

  • Exciting! Good luck, hope you have a quick and easy delivery and can't wait to see pics of the little guy :)
  • since when do we judge :) You and your doc know what's best for the little one - that's why we have doctors!

    Good Luck, I hope everything goes well! So excited for the next Nestie baby!

  • No way that is so exciting! Does it not blow your mind you will be a mom in 3 days? There's no going back now!!!

    I can't wait to hear the official annoucement of your little one's safe arrival. Good luck with everything!

  • It must be so exciting that you'll be holding him in a few days!

    Good luck with everything!!

    This is what I had done - it wasn't as bad as I expected.  In case they don't tell you - the catheter is an open tube (same as a urine catheter) and if blood comes out of it don't have a heart attack (like me) - it's totally normal. 

    Good luck! Hope all goes well.

  • Thanks for the tip.
