I’m 36 weeks and I’m being induced at 37 weeks because of low fluid. Advice? Support!

Rionna • Baby Girl Myla 8-12-20 🌻 baby Leo ♌️🦁❤️❤️

I currently 36 weeks pregnant and I’m listed as high risk due to pre existing chronic issues . I was dealing with HBP early on but now everything has been well managed with medication , supplements and General healthy lifestyle . Most of my doctors appts have been routine and uneventful. The only thing that would spark my concern was baby girl was a little lower in the weight class than expected , but my doctor said it wasn’t serious . Leading up to today’s appt .. met with the doctor and she said the amniotic fluid was at 3oz when it should atleast be at 5oz. My doctor said we would need to induce by next week 🤯🥺. Of course I had my first round of mother’s guilt and my doctor told me not to blame myself because I did everything I was supposed to do. I’m happy to know that she is otherwise fine but I’m still concerned !

Anyone been through this ? Or anyone just needed to be induced early for any reason ? Any tips on getting my cervix ready and soften ? What was your experience of being induced ?

This should go without saying but I’ve seen some ugliness on the app before . Please keep it kind and supportive ❤️🙏🏻
