At 38.5 wks, I have mood swings. Uncertainties. I'm afraid, terrified, scared. I'm also excited, of course, but TERRIFIED!!
At my OB appt today, she delightfully told me we can schedule induction for next Wednesday! I was overcome with a sense of relief! Maybe taking one unknown out of ALL the unknowns is comforting to me. However when I shared this with my husband, he is more hesitant, more cautious (which is the nature of our relationship). What exactly IS the medical reason for induction? To be honest, I'm not sure. I didn't ask. I know the baby is squished in my belly, I am consistently measuring small, and today her abdomen circumference is only at ~35 weeks. Squished or loosing weight?? That, as far as I can tell, is the only indication for scheduling this induction. I trust my OB 100%. My gut feeling is there should be no complications. After all, inductions are done SO frequently now, for convenience as well as medical reasons. BUT... I'm hoping for baby O to begin her own entry into the world before next Wednesday.
I'm hoping that she takes this decision out of my hand.
