OB Appt: at hospital today:
I'll be going into the hospital on the 22nd April in the evening to have the gel, they'll break my waters the following morning if the gel works well, they're confident it will as it's not my first baby and the body tends to know what to do, but whatever happens happens. Hoping she arrives on the 23rd my Grandad's birthday, he'll be 89yrs. What a gift for him.
I'll be 39+3 at induction, hoping I go on my own around 38+ weeks though.
Reasons for induction:
* Previous massive Postpartum Haemorrhage (PPH) (I nearly died) in ICU for 2 days,
4 blood transfusions and in hospital for 8 days.
* GD (I have gestational diabeties)
* Age (nearly 39, so over 35 risk with the GD)

 | Comment from stickybean1976 » Posted Mar. 20, 2015 1:44pm I had 4 stretch and sweeps with Ella and none of them worked, she was big and 41+3 so another reason for the PPH. I think I'll go before that anyway. |
| Comment from Julia01 » Posted Mar. 20, 2015 12:32pm Hopes she comes one her own , maybe they can start scraping ur membranes , my last baby my doc started doing that at 36 weeks at each visit bc of my history and at 38 weeks I was in labor on that appt and he did it again and sent to labor and delivery ! So excited for U !! Yayy |
