Whew...
Whew...just about had an induction today. In fact I am pretty sure if the midwife who saw me (my doctor was out) today didn't take pity on me I would be in the hospital right now. Hunter still didn't move a ton - though slightly better today than Wednesday and my water levels were half what they were earlier in the week so the ultrasound lady just looked bleakly at me and said that I should prepare myself to head to the hospital. When I got to talking to the midwife and she checked me out - still no dilation what so ever - she just shook her head and said that while she would like to induce me she knows that she would be setting me up for a very long very painful process. So instead she let me go with a warning, drink plenty of water and if I start having headaches or anything out of the normal just head into the hospital. My sister in law just endured a 32 hour induction and while thankfully she did it with an epidural she said it was still miserable. I am definitely trying to avoid that type of scenario. We'll see what the weekend brings...perhaps natural labor?
