Starting to get scared.

An

My platelets have once again dropped. They are now at 103,000. The cut off for epidural is 100,000. I’m about to get blood drawn again. If they are still dropping she can either induce me or give me steroid shots to try and make them go up. I wouldn’t mind inducing, only that I know I want to go natural if I can handle it, and I know sometimes they may end up in c section or can make birth more painful. I just can’t know what to expect because this is my first. I don’t know how my body works. She did say I’m about 1-2 cm dilated which was more than last week. She said that’s good for a first timer. Errrr it makes me scared. I’m terrified of a c section, and I’m also scared that inducement will make it harder on me.
