My Status as of my apt today:
My Status as of my apt today:
Bad news: -2/-3 station, posterior cervix
Good news: dilated a finger tip, 30% effaced... Both better than when I was induced w Kayden....
I'm 38/2 measuring 39 weeks, which is how Kayden was, too, so that doesn't concern me....
Dr is tentatively scheduling me for induction next Wednesday.... He said it was just to have the spot if he felt it was needed after he checks me next Tuesday.... He also made it a point to tell me that it was still my choice & I still have to show up & agree to it.... Nurse said it's also possible that the unit could cancel me if they are busy....
He plans to use a balloon to open the cervix & sweep my membranes hoping I won't need pit.... If I'm not on pit, I can labor in the tub if I choose.... if I need pit, I'm stuck near the bed....
I have been to the chiro 2x & have another apt on Thursday... Adjust/Acupuncture...
I have Jasmine EO & have been sniffing it several times a day... Pelvic tilts, squats & walking, too.... Raspberry leaf tea by the liters...
My thoughts/feelings: I really don't want to be induced until baby has dropped, but I also trust my OB's judgement in advising me as to the best course to get my VBAC....
Wrench: he's going to be in out of town next Thursday/Friday/returning Saturday (for Rosh Hashanah) leaving me at the mercy of whoever might be on call if I go into labor while he's gone...
So, suggestions, prayers, advice would be greatly appreciated....
