Was induced due to large baby size, and doctor definitely made the right call!

At 35 week growth ultrasound he was measuring 8lbs 7oz and 5 weeks ahead. My first 3 kids were 8lbs+ at birth born full term so we knew he would be large, but wasn’t quite expecting that.

At 37 weeks I was 4cms and hoping to go into labor on my own, that did not happen! I’ve never had to be induced before but I just wanted him safe. We scheduled an induction for 39 weeks since that’s the earliest they induce.

Pitocin was started at around 9:15 AM he was born at 5:19 PM weighing 9lbs 14oz and 22 inches long.

So glad he’s here and hope to rest a lot and recover well! Good luck to all August mamas! I know it’s frustrating waiting but it’s so close.
