Induction this Saturday 😮
I'll be 39.1wks on Saturday and it's feeling surreal that my day is fast approaching! I've been through such an interesting pregnancy, from being in a car accident that totaled my vehicle while I was behind the wheel around 4mos along, to going into preterm labor that was stopped at 35wks (steroids for little's lungs to develop and a 24hr magnesium drip to stop contractions), and almost two weeks now of prodromal labor that has dilated me to almost 3cm.
I've been so back and forth between 'let's do this' and 'OMG please just a few more days so I can rest and get ready for the HUGE changes about to take place' that my head is spinning! Yet, here I am, fast approaching the big day! Everything is bought, everything is packed and ready for the hospital, plans are in place for a babysitter for my two older children, and surprisingly I'm still so nervous and so excited that I don't know what to do with myself.
My doctor told me to arrive at labor and delivery 8am..when she'll break my water and see how things progress on their own since I've been adequately contracting and already started dilating. I'm thankful pitocin won't be used unless necessary. But I still have so many thoughts and questions whirling around in my mind, like, 'should I get the epidural', 'am I going to tear', 'will little be able to breastfeed since I had a breast augmentation a few years ago', 'what am I supposed to do since I'll only have my fiancé home for a couple days after the birth', and so much more!
I'm confident everything will be okay, it has to be, it's the only mentality that will keep me focused.
I'm just so nervous! 🙃🙂
