BR: gotta love doctors (vent)
i just got off the phone with my doctors office and the doctors performing the induction had "something come up" so they freakin re-schedueled me for Friday. i about lost it on the phone. I know it doesn't seem like a big deal but its not like i was getting my hair cut. They acted like it was no biggie. I told them i had to call them back since Kevin had already taken the day off tomorrow (he works nights) and so had my mom and MIL. Not to mention i was mentally prepared.
I was having such a good day so far, the sun is out...it's been pretty stormy here in california and we are almost on a flood watch ( oh yay) i felt good, and the idea of meeting my lil one soon was just making me cheerful. And bam! on top of that while i was on the phone i got three texts from family saying how excited they were to see us on thursday. Lovely. The worst part is i could see H's eyes filling up with tears. He's been so good to me through out everything and the other day he told me he was soooo excited for him to finally be here. It breaks my heart to see H that way, he is always the strong one.
When i finally called back i pretty much was told that i didn't have a choice and had to come on friday regardless of anything else. And if i didn't make progress quickly i was bound for c-section.
sorry for my vent....whine fest is over now...im going to go get a dr. pepper yes caffine is bad but one isn't going to hurt.

I know that's got to be so disappointing but at least with a couple days notice everyone will hopefully be able to rearrange their schedules. And in the big scheme of things waiting one more day in comparison to having Drake for the rest of your life is pretty small
Enjoy your Dr. Pepper...maybe all the carbonation will kick start your labor!
Sorry:( I'd be really disappointed and frustrated too. Hang in there though...it will all be worth it when you see his sweet face:)

Why would you be destined for a c-section? A what exactly constitutues as progessing quickly?
I'd say this is a blessing in disguise. Maybe by some small miracle you'll go into labor on your own from now until Friday and be able to avoid all of that. I would do everything under the sun to try to go into labor on my own.
It kinda pisses me off that they've already told you that you would be c-section bound if you dont progress "quickly" before you even walk in the door. That's an assshole thing to say to a pregnant woman.
Honestly the whole thing is kinda confusing. The point to doing the induction tomorrow was so that if i needed to go home and wait i could becuase i'd still have another week before i'd hit the 42 weeks mark, but now im not even going in until 41 weeks 2 days. my only thinking is that if things don't move along with in 24 hours they will opt for the c-section since i will be cutting it close to the 42 week mark. I tired to talk directly to the doctor who will be on call doing the induction and of course i couldn't but was told that i would be able to speak with her before everything started on friday. I kinda felt like saying well thats nice....alil late by friday at the hospital don't ya think? I even tired to explain to the nurses on the phone that this is really fustrating and that i really felt like i need to at least see the doctor again before the induction A to to check on baby and B to answer all my questions and they told me that there was no need.
anyways....i went for a long walk today, and braved the castor oil....most horrible thing ever......its been about an hour i feel alil strange but not having contractions that i know of....H and I plan on trying every trick in the book to get the ball rolling .
Jamie,
Just stay positive. You'll be able to meet your little man by the end of the weekend. Good luck with everything and keep us posted!
