October Babies! (continued)

[motherofboys]

Lld I hope he decides to come before induction.

I also feel great about having 4 boys, I can not imagine Seth being a girl and feel like he was who we were meant to have. I can't believe how upset I was now.
I don't know if my family is complete yet, I did plan on another regardless of gender this time, but right now I'm just enjoying having a new born again and will see how I feel down the line. I can't imagine never doing it again LOL
But right now I feel like if we did have another, and we had a 5th boy, I would be totally fine with that. I know now, that even if I did suffer some GD if there was a next time, I would get over it and that baby would be the perfect baby for me and my family.

Went in this am, I'm 3cm, 80%effaced. Swept my membranes but zero happening. She said likely breaking my water will be all it takes. Should I just do it or still try to hold off? 40+1 tomo. I know if I let him cook too long there are risks of complications so would pry induce mon if not tomo......
My hubs birthday is Tuesday....
Help!

I would get your water broken... That's what did with ds4 and my labor was only an hour good luck

[Lld2006]

Thx for the input wanting....I think I lost my chance for the water breaking tho. My dr was a real b**ch on the phone this am when I cancelled and told he if I didn't come in today, I wouldn't go on my own, and she has no time next week to induce me. Really?!?! I want to switch to another dr so bad but how the heck do I do that at 40+ weeks! I've been having continuous mucousy bloody show all day with inconsistent contractions so not really enough of an excuse to go into the hospital. so bummed w how this is turning out.

Lld2006 - what a horrible dr, I wouldn't be happy about seeing her anymore either. Sounds like she just wanted to induce you for HER convenience but your body is doing exactly what it needs to be doing on its own and baby won't be far away. Have you tried any natural induction methods? Walking, sex, expressing, acupuncture, accupressure ( you can look up pressure points online) etc.

That is ridiculous lld. Sorry that you have to go through this now, but at 80% effaced and some show,it sounds like things are progressing- just not quick enough for your doc's vacation. I had my membranes stripped before and it was a couple days later that I went into labor and delivered at 40weeks 4 days, so I don'I think it's one of those things that necessarily makes you go right away. On the positive side, when he decided to come, I only had to push for 6 minutes, so wishing you the same speedy delivery.

Lld, I can't believe your doctor is like that!! I'm so sorry that you're struggling with all this right now. I said a prayer for you and that precious baby this morning. I hope labor will come for you soon!

Popping in from due in feb. I was induced with my first baby at 10 days overdue. My other two were both late but both came on their own, ds2 was three days overdue and my ds3 was a week overdue. It's ridiculous to assume you won't go in your own and what you are describing is exactly what I had with ds3 and he was born in the early hours the following day, your doctors attitude is appalling.

I totally agree! Your doctor sounds very unprofessional & demeaning. I am hoping for a vba2c in Dec and have been given 12 days to go naturally on my own. I did book a c-section when I was 16 weeks but since belonging to a vbac support group, I've decided to cancel it. As they keep reminding me, no woman has ever stayed pregnant forever!! As long as you & baby are well, they should leave well alone except for monitoring. Best of luck & I'll be stalking for the announcement of your little bundle!!
