Induction in a few hours
I'm so scared! My doctor will be inducing me at 730am today. I've had to see perinatal specialists my whole pregnancy for fluid on my sons kidneys. Last measure his left kidney was at 22mm. I saw the kidney specialist and he cleared me for delivery at my local hospital and said I would not need to deliver at a higher level facility and my baby would not need admission to NICU (thank God!) but I'm still scared. I've had badly uncontrolled asthma, gestational diabetes and thyroid problems during my pregnancy so my doc figured induction a week early was best. I'm at 39&2 today.
I'm going to the hospital alone. My boyfriend will be going to work and I will call him when it's nearly time. He's not the kind that can sit patiently for hours and I think having him at work will keep his mind occupied. We live in a small town and the hospital is 10 minutes away from his work, and also from our home. The plan is that he can leave to come home and feed pets if things take longer than expected. Baby is already head down and he dropped way into the pelvis already according to my biophysical profile yesterday and he did fine on the monitor for the non stress test. I'm just so scared. Scared of the pain. Scared of there being complications. Scared of something happening to me and/or baby. I'm just sitting here in a shock like state, waiting for my alarm to go off so I can take a shower. I knew this day was coming, but now that it's here, I'm terrified.
