Had a check-up yesterday with another non-stress test. The baby is still reacting well, which is the good news. The bad news is that I don’t seem to be progressing toward labor. We now have an inducement plan. I will be going into the hospital this Friday night to being Cervidil and then they will start Pitocin on Saturday morning, so it appears that the baby will arrive sometime on the 25th. Unless of course the baby decides suddenly to cooperate and come sooner… but time is running out.
I’m still not thrilled with the idea of inducing, but it is comforting to know the end is in sight.
Thanks for all of your prayers and words of encouragement!
I had the cervidil overnight with Deacon, and then the pitocin in the morning…
My regret? Not taking the sleeping pill they offered… :)
We are thinking of you over here and hoping that baby comes out soon!
Hang in there, Elise! It’ll be so worth the wait! Just think, now you know when Christmas day is AND she can only come sooner…not later than that day!
I will be praying for you and your Baby. What hospital are you going
to?. Remember this. Have you been in a big croud let say the State
Fair. Well just remember ever person their had a Mother that gave
birth to them. I thought about this when I was in labor and it made
me less afraid. I promise you one thing the very moment you look into
the eyes of your daughter you will know it was worth it. God was very
good to me and gave me my daughter on Christmas day.
God Bless you and your family.
We’ll be praying for you all week, and through the weekend!!!
