After checking me, she said there has been some progress but not much. I am about 75% effaced and Hanley has dropped from a -1 station to a +1 station. No changes in dilation.
So...what next? Talk of induction began.
She said normally they recommend induction 7-10 days after your due date. So, I opted for 10 days, trying to give as much time possible for things to happen naturally. Prior to our induction date of Friday, Nov 9th we will have a stress test and ultrasound done next Monday and then our 41 week check up on Tuesday.
I am feeling a little bummed but I know a lot can happen in 10 days. As for now, I think someone didn't get the memo...
Yesterday was my last day at work. I am going to try to take advantage of this "me" time because I know I won't have it again for a long time to come!
Now is to the time to take the best advise I can give ... just go with and keep an open mind ... things may not go as planned but in the end it will be worth it :) Whether you are induced or not the only thing that matters is a healthy Hanley (not matter when or how he decides to arrive) ... sending lots of love during the most anxious time of your pregnancy!
