Induction delayed..

I am home again today, and terribly disappointed.

They tried to break my waters for the induction today, only to discover that the cord was in front of bub's head.

The current plan of action is to try again tomorrow at 7am, and if the cord is still there- try again on Friday.

I just feel lost and purposeless today and 24hrs has never felt so long.

I'm really hoping that it works tomorrow, because I have no idea how I am going to fill two more days. And we are eating into DH's holiday time/pay which means he will have less time with me/bub...

So sorry to hear... I know the disappointment of having to keep putting it of though. Tomorrow I go to the dr in the morning and am demanding we set a date for induction... My family and I can not wait any longer... My hubby hasn't been able to go to work for 2 weeks now and enough is enough. His office is too far away from the house for him to go... My mom lives over an hour away and takes care of my 90 yr old nana so she can't just come stay till he comes either...
Im really getting frustrated too... Hopefully by the end of the wek we will both have our babies....

That is a bummer! But try and remember their making these choices for the safety of you and your baby. They wouldn't delay the induction unless they thought it was the best thing for you both. So hang in there, she'll be here before ya know it!
Keep us posted!

That's scary and can only wait for time i guess.  So sorry that happened to you.  I was so stoked to hear that you had her today, but some things are more important then others.  Good luck in the next coupledays and hope everything works out for the best Hun~Thinking of you-Brandi

Oh, that sux...we are all right there a long with you, we want the baby out...and our bodies are doing things that is just not what we want them to do!!  It is becoming a very impatient time, partly because I am anxious, and the other part is because I am so done with pregnancy!!!

Hang in there, it will happen one of these days...they don't stay in there forever...

It must have been much more frustraiting though...looking at an actual date...and then see it go...I feel for ya!!  Good luck today, and keep us posted!!

Hi,

I feel for you.

They decided to wait for me too.  If I don't go into labor by myself these next few days, then they will consider again.  Waiting is so hard!
