I went to my doctors appointment earlier this week and after all that I have been going through with this kidney stone, we came to the conclusion that induction would be the best thing. For the past week I have been in the worst pain ever; having to take pain meds every chance I can get. Steve has been working half days and coming home to take care of Ayla and me. He's been so great through all of this and I am so lucky to have a loving husband.
Being unfamiliar with inductions I thought we could just pick a date and call it good. But I guess there's a bit more than that. Depending on where I'm at on the Bishop Score determines when I would be induced and my chances for a possible c-section. As of Tuesday my score was a 4. Which is a lot further along than the average prego. My doctor though wants me to be at a 7. So what we did was schedule the induction day for this Monday at 7pm but I would see my doctor that morning to determine if I'm at that 7. If all goes as planned our little guy would hopefully arrive sometime Tuesday.
There's a part of me that doesn't want to induce simply because it takes away from the whole "element of surprise". But I can't take the pain! Plus I feel so useless and gross and ugly. I have no energy to do anything but sleep.
On another note: Ayla has been so good that she's been getting spoiled with sweet treats. Her favorite...ice cream!
