Nervous about Labor/Delivery

Just curious if there is another reason they would be inducing you at 38 weeks? I was supposed to have an induction at 38 weeks cause of complications I've been having and being high risk but they canceled it because baby is measuring small and they want me to keep her in as long as possible.

Girl I feel you about the low threshold for pain and afraid of needles. Even the dentist has a note in my file, they give me laughing gas even just for cleanings because I get such bad anxiety. And now gotta birth a child 😫 we got this though!

no just the baby being small.

I hope so. I am being told that pain is so bad, the needles won’t even matter and I’ll be begging for that epidural 😂

Now I'm stressing on why they canceled my induction and considering getting a second opinion. Lots of love and prayers for you and your baby, you got this Mama!

don’t stress, just ask the doctors questions and have faith. It’s possible that our cases are completely different and that your baby needs to stay in longer and mine needs to come out. Also, these scans about baby growth are all “estimates.” They are often wrong about it. Sending you and your baby lots of prayers, good vibes and health. Everything will be fine for us both.

How small is baby measuring? I’m hearing the same thing to be induced at 38 weeks because the baby is 4 pounds and 15 ounces… and I’m 35 weeks

yes, mine is around the same. Hoping the baby will gain some more weight in the next 3 weeks. They told me I can go to full term if I want just increased chances of things going wrong which obviously freaks me out and I’m not going to take chances. Time to start drinking that raspberry tea, eating dates and curb walking sister!!!

I’m actually currently in the hospital because my BP was elevated and I already have gestational diabetes so they’re monitoring me and baby and I’m doing a 24 hour urine sample for high protein in my urine… so far everything has been good, but I was told if the protein is high in the 24 hour urine sample I have to stay until I give birth which could be anytime in the next 3 to 4 weeks🥲

fingers crossed for you. Sending you and baby lots of love, positivity and prayers. No matter what, you’ll both get through this.

Thank you ❤️🥰
