Yesterday I asked my OB if they really did want to induce me at 37 weeks due to my mild pre eclampsia.. I’ve been living in this bubble the last few weeks thinking I really wasn’t going to be induced and that I was going to be allowed to make it till 40 weeks. My blood pressure has been steady and I even started my maternity leave early so I could stay relaxed and keep it down. Well apparently that’s not what my doctors had in mind and I walked out of that appointment with an induction date.

So I’m basically freaking out at this point, either I keep thinking the baby isn’t ready, her brain needs to finish developing or I’m just overall scared this is all changing in two weeks. I haven’t even been able to enjoy pregnant life!

If you have been induced before please share your story with me! I could really use the positive stories right now. Kinda feeling like a failure at this point 😪
