So his head is on the larger side, has been for weeks. I’ve been told if he stays inside cooking, it could get even bigger. His head isn’t and probably won’t engage to start natural labour because it’s so big 🤣 I just feel like…that’s an absolute hilarious thing to tell him when he’s older hahaha and I feel very immature about it. He’s completely healthy otherwise.
Anyway, they did say it could end in a c-section because it might get stuck or completely tear me to shreds, which I’m more scared of a c-section which is why I’ve opted for the induction, has this ever happened to anyone else? My first was easy, I had no issues whatsoever. This one seems a lot scarier 🥲 not to mention my family aren’t supporting me as much as they were before they knew I was being induced, my SIL is due via c-section on 1st September, and they’ve all been saying how my son will be born on the same day as him or after, but now that he’s coming this week…they have been distant and their energy has switched up massively. No excitement, no joy, like nothing they would usually be saying/doing. Almost like I’ve just told them the weather and they’ve nodded along and said oh….

I had a big head and so did my husband so we knew my son would, too. However, I told myself that since I have a big head my body was made to birth a baby with a big head. He didn't need induction to get started so can't speak to that, and not sure if this applies to you but that mantra helped me!

Is your induction happening today? Do you feel good about it? If you feel good about it then that’s what matters
I had an emergency induction due to pre eclampsia, walked into my regular OB appointment and was sent to the hospital to be induced. I was told to not even go home to grab my stuff. It was stressful because it was not expected but the actual induction wasn’t bad. My baby did get stuck which was scary. the induction and labor process up until 8/9cm that wasn’t bad at all though. No c section needed
