Induction for preeclampsia - how to prepare

Kari • Fire wife & Mom to two amazing special needs boys and a sassy baby girl 12/17/09 💙 07/29/13 💙 10/30/18 💝

Well baby number 3 is a wild card as everyone warned me

First was born at 37 weeks, second 39 weeks exactly. Both boys I were long labors

This little girl gave us a scare and I almost had to have an emergency c section but they got my blood pressure down enough and my blood work came back ok

I’ll be 37 weeks Monday but they want to induce. I’m not thrilled about this at all as I already have long labors, plus my husband will be home with my special needs boys, so I’ll be alone and worrying about my youngest the whole process

At 36 weeks when it all started I was still closed, high, and 20% effaced.

Anything I can do to prepare my body and cervix better for the induction? I’m a crunchy mom normally so this is way out of my element :(
