I had my 40 week dr's appointment this morning and this time Scott decided to go with me. Dr. Obeikwe checked to see if I had started to dialate and still nothing and so she gave us the option of inducing. Scott and I have a little difference of opinion on this as I am ready for this part of our journey to be over and move on to her being here and although he is ready to he is very concerned (as am I) of the induction process and the chance it increases us needing to have a c-section. We also asked about the risks with the medications they use for induction and of course there is always a risk but she said the real risk is a c-section and really our chances have already increased for that probability because as you go past your due date the baby's size just gets bigger so we are in that territory anyway. Well the Dr stepped out of the room for me and Scott to discuss it and Scott said that he would go along with whatever I wanted as I am the one that is getting more and more uncomfortable and I also wanted to respect his feelings as well. The Dr came back in and we asked a couple of questions and also let her know how we each felt about it and she said that we would go ahead now and form a plan which is to let things progress through the weekend on their own and if nothing happens then we will be back in her office first thing Tuesday morning for an exam and then if nothing has changed or if it is still going slow then they will admit me either Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday morning to be induced. One way or another we will have a baby here by the middle of next week!!! Scott is still keeping his fingers crossed that she will come on her own on Tuesday as this is his birthday and I think that would be an awesome birthday present for him. I am hoping that we don't have to go the induction route so please keep us in your prayers that we can do this naturally but if we do have to be induced then I know we are in excellent hands. Love to everybody!!!
