Induction

So turns out I am still sick today the big sleep didn't help, bad migraine and vomiting, and due to this my BP is sitting a bit higher again! Not in the alarm range but high.

So I emailed Dr A as I am just not coping and wanted his honest opinion on induction.

He was really good about it. explained all the risks and things and for me having hypertension this increases my risk of developing pre-eclampsia after bub is past its due date and said it is probably worth while trying to get things moving.  This in mind DH and I have decided to bring my induction forward to Monday. Dr said he will assess me on the day and see how I have progressed on my own.  This will of course affect things but once the gel is applied we wait.  If I don't progress on my own that day with no other drugs we wont force it and we will cancel things and post pone till later in the week.

I am really happy with this decision, I would love to think peanut will come on its own before then but I honestly don't think it will.  Being past my EDD I shouldn't have any problems progressing on my own.  Dr said he has done this before and the woman will normally go into labour on her own in the days following as the gel gets things moving along.

I am definitely relieved at this. :) Its not the natural way I was hoping for but being this sick can't be good for the baby either. That and the increased risks of pre-eclampsia aren't worth it.

So hopefully by Tuesday next week I am holding peanut in my arms :) Very exciting!
