Induction?!?

Jae

Okay so I’m sort of freaking out right now. My due date is July 12th, but the doctors have decided to induce me THIS WEEK! I have to go into the hospital tomorrow at 5:30 for them to soften my cervix,then Thursday morning they’re starting pictocin. Thursday I’ll be 37 weeks exactly. They’re inducing me because my little man is only about 5lbs 6oz. They said his stomach is 8% but should be 80%, and his head is 10%. I don’t know what this means because I wasn’t with my normal doctor when I got the news and the doctor I was with was barely telling me anything. Does anyone have any tips, advice, or similar stories?
