Hey all! I'm currently 37 weeks and 5 days, and also currently being induced (at the hospital with contractions getting little more intense). Have 4 more hours to go with the cervidil, they'll check to see where I'm at, then possibly pitocin to further progress the labor. Had to be induced early because I've been having weekly checkups with sono, and my baby hasn't grown much if any at all since 2 weeks ago. Something due to the placenta not providing the nutrients to the baby anymore. 😔
So I'm a little sad this is happening now and like this. We weren't even ready- we still had quite a bit of things to do at home.
I'm trying to stay positive though so that I don't get PPD again. I had it slightly with my first.
My first was tiny at 5 lbs 14 oz born at 39 weeks, and currently this baby is measuring at 5 lbs 5 oz. 😔 now I'm cursing all those who told me I was carrying small. I heard it ALL THE TIME. I didn't think I was. I actually gained more weight this pregnancy than I had with my first. Plus I just assumed, well.. I'm small anyway so how much bigger am I suppose to be?!
Ugh anyhow, wish me luck. Here is my last bump photo I'll be taking. Took this yesterday.



Good luck girl!!! Keeping you in my prayers. I'm guessing you're delivering in inova fairfax?! Let me know how you like that hospital. That's where I'm supposed to give birth too!
@juicyjay1, I'm actually at the fair oaks hospital which my relatives told me was better - in their opinion - when it came to L&D. So far, the staff is great and the room is a good size. :)
