Baby had late deceleration at our nst today... I’m not sure what that means but both my OB and MAT drs agreed I needed to have baby today. I’m confused but glad to be here. First dose of cytotec has been inserted. Hoping for efficiency and no epidural 💗...to be continued...

A late decel typically means the placenta is starting to not do it's job as well as it should. That's why they would want to induce, they know that it is just going to get worse as time passes and the placenta ages more.
