FTM : 41 weeks and on the verge of tears
A little back story....Midway through my pregnancy I switched from an ObGyn to a broth centering with certified midwives. Of course, that didn’t come without, what I perceived, as scrutiny from my MIL, family etc. Anyway, my husband didn’t seem to have much of an opinion one way or another. Last week when my due date came and went my husband begin to get agitated with the staff at the birthing center because the baby “wasn’t coming” nor could they “predict” when the baby would be here. We’ve had the stress tests and everything with the baby is fine. I’ve tried explaining to him that there is no way for them to know when the baby will decide to push through. Monday it was insinuated that if the baby wasn’t here today they would start a cocktail. Which I’m not against but I would honestly prefer to just start labor on my own. Im upset today because we saw another midwife who stated that if nothing happens between now and Monday the we’ll start an induction process. My husband was visibly pisses odd by this answer and stormed out of the center. Which has made me feel like crap so I dropped him off at home and I’m just wandering our town to blow off steam. I’m guess I’m venting but I trust the midwives. Any other mama’s go past their due dates with midwives? What was your experience? Thanks and sorry for the long post.
***edited to add: that I’m about 4-5 cm dilated and 80 effaced. The baby is at -1 but I haven’t had any contractions. But no one can control that****
