So anxious for my doctors appointment today! I’m going ask the doctor if she can strip my membranes to help labor start. My kids are on vacation with their grandma and I would love to have their baby sister while they’re away so it’s one less thing I have to worry about when I actually do go into labor. If that makes sense lol
Please help! My doctor is trying to induce me before 40 weeks because she's going to be off on my due date and says my placenta is starting to look old. How do I get labor started?? I don't want to be induced for no reason and I'm thinking I won't have a choice. Please help. What do I do to get things going?
anybody have anyways to get labor started? I have gone into labor 3 times but my doctor said today that I'm 2cm dilated and that he will let me go next time. I just want my water to break already! anybody have any ideas?
My doctor said he would induce my labor at 38 weeks, if my baby girl still had growth issues and if the percentile dropped to 10 or less. Last thursday, it was 10 percentile, and he said if she didn't come on her own by 38 weeks, he would induce labor at that time. I'm 36 weeks 1 day today, he said my cervix was super thin, and 1cm dilated. Is there a possibility this can change... that my doctor will let her just come on her own? I don't want to be induced, i would much rather her come on her own when she is ready to come ! As much as I am anxious to meet her and have her home with me, those last few weeks of brain development and lung maturation means so much more to me! I'm hoping and praying that things turn around, and I don't have to get induced. I'm surely going to talk to my doctor about it Thursday when I go back.
So my doctor just called a little while ago and I tested positive for Group B strep 😭...whenever I go in labor I have to be given antibiotics so the baby won't get sick. It just sucks.
To go or not to go ? Okay so my husband is a heavy equipment operator. This year his boss is paying the whole team and their wife's to fly out to Las Vegas for an expo work thing. Well the problem is I will be 37 weeks, so I can't fly. BUT we can drive. It will be a 6 hour drive from Colorado to Las Vegas. My doctor said it is 100% okay to go because I'm showing a healthy pregnancy and she doesn't think I'll go into preterm labor and being a ftm I will most likely go over my due date or have a very long labor. My options are I go with my husband and by some freak of nature I go into labor he's there to see his child or he goes alone, something happens and he misses the birth of his child.
