FTM . CAN'T DECIDE WHAT MY BEST OPTION IS .
So, I am dilated to a 1. Haha My cervix is thinned to 50% (from 15%). Atley is head down, face down, again...where she needs to be. I forget what she said her head was at...not quite low enough, but on her way down/out. She said my cervix is favorable for an induction. I was afraid to commit to anything. I asked if I could wait until after my appointment Tuesday. I will have another stress test, ultrasound to check Atley's weight and she will check me. They guessed her to be 6 lbs 10 oz last week.
Then, I have to decide...
1) Planned Induction where they put the pill in, called Cyotec. (I just read a lot of scary stuff about that drug.😳) It is used a lot, however.
2) I can have her strip my membranes to try and encourage labor that way.
I am conflicted. I really wanted to try and go on my own. She said I have a lot of risk factors...advanced maternal age, GDM, I take Metoprolol. I still feel like if I haven't had issues , those are just factors to be considered.
But...my diet controlled sugars have been great, my blood pressure has been perfect, I haven't had any other issues...I have had an easy, normal pregnancy. I am 39 weeks Monday. She acted like I shouldn't go past that.
She wasn't pushing me to do anything, but I don't know what is best for me.
