I know I have no control over this but man, it's stressing me out. I'm 37w5d today and I just got a call from my doc that we can do my induction next Friday the 21st, which makes me 38w6d. But the hospital doesn't do definitive inductions scheduling unless medically necessary. And since we have no proof of anything, this is considered elective. I totally understand. So I'll get a call next Thur to find out for sure if they can fit me on the schedule. However, the reason I'm pushing for induction is bc my 2nd son was born with low platelets. To the point he was in nicu bc his platelets were at 9k. Normal range is 150k-350k (so I've been told by docs). He was to the point of possible internal bleeding and other complications. We got lucky that he had none of that but he did need 3 platelet transfusions and an ivig treatment to get things back to normal. They did TONS of testing on him and my husband and I to try and figure out what caused it. Everything came back fine and they had no answer for us. All we got was "this could potentially happen with consecutive pregnancies and get worse with each" (potentially resulting in a late term miscarriage or still birth)All of this happened in another state so it's not like the hospital we are going to has this on file. My OB was told about it tho. Also, there is no way to test for this happening again. Up until now I haven't felt too stressed about it. But the closer I get, the more I'm worrying and the more I want her to consider this medically necessary so I can guarantee I get induced early. I'm freaking myself out to the point of tears bc I just want to know he is ok. I just had to vent a bit as I'm all of a sudden really stressing.
