just wanted to share some positive pregnancy and birth affirmations... starting to really focus on my body now. contracting more regularly, and induction in 13 days. doing everything I can to make sure I'm ready for an #unmedicatedbirth with #hypnobirthing plus these affirmations make me feel better when I feel like crap, feel like I have no energy left for my other children, and make me feel more connected to my baby. excited to see whether it's a boy or girl! 😊
@chelsie918, Yep they do make it seem like It's the end of the world if you get induced however in this case (I have ICP) it's safer for my baby as risk of stillbirth increases after 37 weeks. my midwife (who's also my co-worker-- I'm a L&D nurse) has agreed to let me stay pregnant a few days past 37 and "check my cervix" at 37 with hopes it jump starts labor on my own. I've got the evening primrose oil and pineapples too! just trying to stay positive and tell myself I probably would go into labor a few days after the induction anyways.. my water broke with my daughter at 38 weeks exactly and it broke with the twins at 38+1 ☺
