Another Update (38 weeks as of tomorrow)

[azzychan]

Well, I just got back from my appt. with my OB again. It looks like if I do not have the baby this week, my OB is going to schedule an induction on Mar. 31st. So, I will be having Arianna in my arms by next week

I checked back through entries and apparently the ventricles in the baby's brain measured larger than normal during a 3d ultrasound she had around 33 weeks and while I don't know why that warrants her needing an induction before 40 weeks I also don't know enough about what can cause that in a baby to say it doesn't require the baby coming out sooner versus later. Got me on that one. I would figure they would want the baby as developed as possible and by chance that the issue would resolve itself before birth, but that's just me and I am not a medical professional.

At least we hope there is a damn fine reason :o)

Oh goodluck, but why are they inducing before 40 weeks?

[azzychan]

I posted an explanation.

I am still hoping for a vaginal birth. I am already 3 cm dilated right now, just having issues with contractions becoming regular.

I was induced with my oldest and had a vaginal birth (albit not a great one but that was due to a botched epidural)
