Induction this Sunday... Freaking out! Advice?!
So I am 41 weeks today, doctor told me they want to go ahead and induce me. I've had two previous c sections and never been in labor. My cervix is high and closed so they want to do a foley bulb catheter and then start low dose pitocin. Everything I've read and learned has told me my body isn't ready. I've tried every natural induction method for the past 2 weeks and nothing has done anything. I'm so nervous about having a successful vba2c, I'm so nervous about the foley bulb catheter it just sounds miserable. A lot of what I have read and learned through my Hypnobirthing classes says that I should hold out until 42 weeks and stave off an induction as long as possible. My baby and I are both very healthy and my doctor gave me the option to hold out but I'm so scared that we will wait and still have to be induced at 42 weeks and we will have the same outcome. I didn't sleep at all last night worrying about how today would go, and I have this feeling I won't sleep at all this entire weekend until I can somehow feel better about all of this. I'm hoping some of you ladies have been here before and could offer me some good advice, or success stories, or anything. Lol thank you in advance!!
