Please, Please, Please, COME OUT NOW!

So, I did something stupid and set myself up for disappointment. Matt, as some of you know, has brain cancer and on Monday he had a HUGE appointment with his first big set of MRI's since diagnoses. I have been just terrified that I would go into labor before this big appointment and have to miss it. I jokingly told everyone I knew that I had the baby 'penciled in' to arrive on Tuesday Oct. 23rd (the day after Matt's big appointment) when I was 37.5 weeks. OF COURSE I was kidding! However, somewhere in my mind I really got this idea that maybe the baby would come this week.....

Now, I just feel so desperate and frusterated and UNCOMFORTABLE. This baby is SO low and continually kicking my cervix. I just feel like going to my appointment on Friday and BEGGING THE DOCTOR TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PREGNANCY SITUATION!!!

The thing is, I am really quite opposed to the whole induction thing (although I wouldn't say no if the doctor offered to break my water...). I think the baby will come out when s/he is good and ready. I have to be careful because I am really hoping for a V-Bac, and I can't rush an induction (or use Pitocin at all). I want to be patient, but I just don't know if I can do this for 3 more weeks. I feel so crappy! :cray:

So, now you have all saved my husband 1/2 of my whining for the night! He thanks you!

 

You poor dear. So much on your plate. I hope the appt went smoothly. I know how you feel. Part of me is starting to get anxious for something to happen but the other part of me (the part that wants the VBAC) knows I need to be patient. Hang in there - hopefully you won't have much longer!

 

:hug99: Whine all you want! I know how it is to set yourself up expecting something to happen, and then it either not or you start feeling uncomfortable like it is a preminition! Keep the faith!

 

Whine all you want, that's what we are here for. I hope your little one comes soon. I hope your DS's test come back with some good news.

You have every right to whine with everything you are going through... And I won't preach what you've already preached to yourself. But you are 100% right on wanting to avoid induction for vbac. Almost all of my docs have confirmed that they would prefer that I go past my due date if need be rather than induce...just b/c inductions, in general, have a higher rate of c/s regardless of vbac or not. I'm trying to set my mind on December 13th as when this baby will be here.. I'll be 42 weeks then, so I know for sure that one way or another she'll be here by then. That way I don't go nuts if I go over my due date. Hang in there... your baby will be here so soon that you'll probably wonder why on earth you wanted to rush it (as you are getting up in the middle of the night!! LOL!)

Hope your ds gets better quickly!! Can't imagine going through that...every parent's worst nightmare. :hug99:

 

My sentiments exactly with the Please, please, please COME OUT NOW. lol.

 

bless your heart!! here are some labor vibes~~~~~~~~~~!!!!!

Come on out little one!

 

Pencil me in for the "come out now". I have been having these darn braxton hicks that are only getting stronger but not for long enough and not strong enough for like a month now. Probably longer than that. I'm ready but with the heart defect, i know that longer is better so we're relaxing and taking it easy....no more "remodeling" my rooms for me. Good Luck and hang in their...
