Official induction date

Br

Br
Went to the doctor today (38w) and found I'm still only a fingertip dilated and my cervix is still long and thick. I'm still having high blood pressure readings so they will be inducing me on Monday 9/21. I will be going in Sunday night at 530. I'm officially a nervous wreck!! My birth plan was to go all natural but that's not happening. I'm very nervous about this. Does anyone have any advice?

Whatever you do try to request a delay in pitocin and look up other drugs that aren't as hard. Look up medicines AND natural remedies for inducing labor. The more you research and go in knowing, the more informed choices you can make with the nurses and doctors and feel like you are part of a new and positive birth plan. I will do this research if I have to be induced. I have a doula teacher as an additional resource. Good luck

Remain positive. I ended getting induced bc of high blood pressure at 38w. It was a long process (34.5 hours) but I'd do it all over again to see my little girl for the first time
