Induction date set should she not come on her own!

Nikkole • Hello! I'm Nikkole and this is my husband and I's third pregnancy but second child to raise (our first we placed for adoption at birth). This wasn't planned, however we are growing with excitement!

Whew. Feeling all sorts of anxious now. Today makes 39 weeks 1 day and I'm feeling like she'll never come out (these Braxton Hicks contractions mixed with real ones have been going on for nearly 2 weeks now). I'm so drained from timing contractions, dealing with them, and getting upset when it's not the real deal. The stress at work doesn't help either--I feel like I want to punch everyone who speaks to me,haha!

And then I got the email... Your induction date is set for 11/7 at 6am. 😷 Not sure how I feel... happy there is a possible end date, anxious to wait so long, and scared that or heard horrible induction stories.

I feel like I'm trying all the things I'm comfortable with too for natural 'induction,' sex, fresh pineapple, tea, walking, steps... I'm allergic to peppercorns so spicy food is out and I'm too scared of the caster oil thing.

Please, baby girl, please come out. My emotions and stress and anxiety and physical body can't take too much more. Please don't be like your middle sister and go 2 days over. Lol
