Update
Today my blood pressure was 158/94 and 140/101 for the second reading so they called the hospital to tell them I'll be on my way for induction. Currently sitting at my house just freaking out but about to head to the hospital.
I'm so excited for you!! We were both due around the same time with boys. My little jack is still snuggled in, not wanting to come out, but the doctors told me if my bp went up he would be ready to come out now that we crossed 37 weeks . Good luck with delivery !!! It's all becoming very real
I was 4 cm, 70% effaced, -1 three hours ago and my next check is in a little bit. If there's no or little progress they are going to break my waters. Lots of painful contractions and blood so I'm hoping that means my cervix is thinning and dilating. No pain meds- yet. I've thought an awful lot about an epidural but I'm going to try to push through without it.
I'm having contractions on my own that seem to be getting stronger so maybeeee I can get them to skip pitocin. At least I can hope lol.
Thanks ladies! I feel much better now that bulb is out and they just fed me. Nasty hospital food but I was starving! Enjoying this calm before the storm of labor.
The foley bulb or the cytotech one is really painful. And I'm bleeding everywhere. Induction is NOT pleasant, I would never choose this route.
Thanks ladies! I will keep everyone updated. This Foley bulb is soooo uncomfortable but I'm trying to keep in mind it will be worth it in the end.
Rachel, thank you for the kind words! And I really like the name Jack :)
I'm not sure if any other June mamas will agree with me but:
Shaina you're like family. I've followed you and baby Caellums posts since first joining June moms. (NOT a stalker lol).I'm so happy you'll have him soon. No stress- and know other ladies around the world have you in their thoughts and prayers!
Also to keep you distracted from stress- my little guy is due the 8th (7 days) via c section. I'm stressed about sharing attention with my almost 2 year old. Also stressed hubby and I haven't narrowed down a name! Nathan or Jack....? Or something else...??
Good Luck! You are doing what you need to do for both you and your baby boy. I know it isn't the way you envisioned it happening, but you are in good hands. Kids have a funny way of mucking up all our plans. Wish I could say this would be the last time he will throw you a curve ball - But this is just the first of many!
Your in good hands .. Think of the positive you will soon be meeting your precious baby boy, they caught this before it could cause harm and you have a good support team to help you through this.
I'm sorry this isn't how you expected things to go and I will definitely be praying for you and that precious baby!
