Off to the hospital!

I'm 41 weeks pregnant with my son and I'm off to the hospital for induction.
I was really not expecting to have to get induced. I had a pretty set birth plan and it pretty much fell apart on me..
The way I've been looking at it is that I should probably just start getting use to the unexpected (LOL)

I'm a little nervous though, doctors worried labor could be pretty brutal due to the fact I'm not dilated at all nor has the baby dropped. They said it could result in c-section which absolutely terrifies me.

Regardless, I will have my son in my arms FINALLY.. so anything leading up to that was and will be totally worth it.

So sorry to hear that. This is my 3 pregnancy and that is the reason y I never bother with a birthing plan.. in my head my birthing plan is simple just to go in, control my breathing during labor and push the baby out. If not posible accept whatever it is to get my baby out healthy and safely and keep myself healthy also. And the father to cut the cord if possible. Sometimes things don't happen the way we want but doesn't change the fact that the result will be a beautiful baby.. keep your chin up and get ready to meet your little angel. Good luck.
