my 41 week appt

,

I was wondering...it is nice to hear what is going on with you. I am so sorry

you are feeling worried. I am sure they will do all they can do ensure a

vaginal delivery. Stay focused and intent and you will do just fine. I too

had a fear of a c section, but did not have to have one. I don't think they

are a bad thing, just kinda scary for me. Either way, you will have your

beautiful baby soon. We will be thinking of you!

Well, I am still at 3 cm! Ugh, the baby's head is still high = (** He

scheduled induction for Thursday at 7:00 Am!! Way too early..LOL. He said to

eat a light breakfast since I will be on all liquids while in labor. So, I

now know when I will have my baby. I did a NST and baby looked great!! I was

awake all night b/c I was so excited to find out when I was getting induced

but now for some reason I am really sad. I don't know why but I just can't

shake it. You would think I would be happy knowing that thurday I will have

my baby for sure. I think part of it is I have been 3cm since Jan, I am

depressed that I haven't progressed on my own. If a miracle happens I might

go before then but I doubt it. I feel bad that I have to be induced. With

it was great!! He was early, my water broke, Ya they had to give me

pitocin to help me along but at least my water and stuff broke on it's own

then.

Soooooo, thursday is the day. My mom keeps saying " I have this feeling

induction isn't gonna work and you will end up in a section on Fri " .

(BTW..Fri is also my 2 year anniversary). I have an overwheling fear of a

section that I have had my whole pregnancy. I sure hope and pray I don't

have to have one. I feel bad enough about being induced let along having a

section.

Oh well, that is where I am.

I know *exactly* how you feel. I was 2days overdue and went in

for an appt. and schedualed an induction for the following morning.

I too was sad....sad because I went into labor on my own with my

first, and it just felt " wrong " that we were going to tell the baby when

to come. BUT...I was soooo ready. I had enough of the hot Texas

weather and thought for " sanity " sake, I better go ahead. It was the

weirdest feeling to call people up and tell them, and when we were going

to the hospital, we drove in silence and I said " gee, this is just too

weird "

The lady in admitting ask me " what are you here for again " and I said

" to have my baby " and she looked at me like I was crazy. Then I told

her I was being induced. Although I loved having my baby of course, I

did not like the induction process (pitocin). Good Luck and I hope you

go on your own before. Just let your body relax (I know thats hard to do

at this point, especially with another little one to take care of).
