ugh, induction woes
ok, so i'm super swollen and sick of being pregnant and sore and i'm just over it and i vomit up everything i eat b/c the congestion has turned to drainage and the stomach acid is retarded so i can't hold down more than a few mouthfuls of food at a time and this sucks... but i'm 38 weeks and not even a little bit dilated... so my doc had said if i want that we can induce on my due date... and i originally thought that yea that would be a great idea - but if i'm not dilated by march 9 (my edd), and we induce, that means we'll have to use cervadil first and THEN induce and that makes it all the more painful and the nurses have told me that most times those women (the ones that had to be forced into dilation with cervadil) end up being the ones that "fail to progress" which just means that the doc doesn't want to wait any longer and so they do a c-section and i DO NOT want a c-section... so i'm going to put off induction until the next week (march 16) and hope and pray i dilate by then and hopefully go on my own (there is a full moon right around my due date)... i just started thinking about it last night and i really don't want to be one of those women that ends up being cut open just to make things easier on the doctor. i don't want to think/assume that my doc would be that way... but it is very common that it happens that way and i don't want to be one of them. and since i only have a set amount of time i can take off from work, i have to be thinking about that. so i will get induced no later than march 16 regardless of what's going on b/c by then i will have already lost 1 week that i could have had with my baby and i don't want to lose 2 weeks, ya know... i just really really don't want a c-section (unless medically necessary).
