40 weeks

Hello due date. Goodbye due date. Ok, I know most first time moms go past their due date, but I kept being told that I'd probably go earlier due to the nature of my job and being on my feet 40 hours a week. Yeah, that didn't happen. Last Friday was my last day of work per my doctor and an induction was SUPPOSED to be scheduled for tomorrow. Today's appointment did not support that plan. I was told today that if I was to be induced tomorrow with my stats being as they were today, I had a higher chance of ending up needing a c-section (which I don't really want unless medically necessary), so she gave me two options. Option 1: be induced tomorrow, for no reason other than to have her by the weekend and knowing my chances of c-section are higher. Option 2: Go back Friday,get checked again for more "favorable" stats. However, if I'm still not favorable Friday, they will induce me Sunday night because at that point they deem the induction medically necessary as they don't want me to go more than a week overdue because more complications can arise after 41 weeks. I appreciated her honesty and candor with me today even though those were not the options I wanted to hear. Obviously I chose option 2 as it seemed the more medically sound and logical choice (even though the impatient side of me was screaming for option 1!!). The families have a cluster of birthdays coming up in the next few days and I really wanted to avoid her being born on a family members birthday, but I know that's out of my control. I was just hoping she would be here by now! There's still a chance I could go into labor on my own before Sunday, but chances are still slim there. That's all for now!!
