so I'm super nervous. I'm being induced on the 18th, which is before my due date. Any suggestions or words of wisdom?

@firefly, diabetic, anemic, and high blood pressure. plus a big baby.

why did they say that?

@firefly, thanks haha its just so weird to think about. they said I have a high risk for c section though.

you will be fine :)!

@firefly,

so far since last Tuesday I was 3cm and 75% effaced. I'm getting induced at 6 in the morning. I'm having a 9lb baby. I'm just so nervous.

I had my daughter 4 days early then my due date and was induced at 38 weeks 5 days before my due date. Eat before you are induced your going to be nervous but eat! You can only have clear liquids are the pitocin. I also had my water broken because I wasn't dilating, but I was having contractions. After they broke my water the contractions got strong, and since being on potcin there was no break they where one after another. It got to the point where I needed the epidural if you don't want a c section take the epidural! Because it will come to a point where you are to tired to push.

@firefly, it is 5 days im due on the 23rd

how much sooner is it
