So Confused
I really wish that I had trust in dr's but in this day and age it seems as though they aren't the most level headed people. I went to my appt. this morning and I was the same. I left feeling so confused because I don't know what to do and I don't feel capable of making these decisions. The dr. didn't really help the situation. He wanted to induce me tomorrow and then gave me the option of Wednesday or Friday. I chose Friday but I really wanted Sept 2nd. They couldn't do Sept 2nd because a dr. I've never seen before that's not even in their practice is on call. After getting home with my little paper telling me my induction is on Friday I just had this sense of confusion, am I making the right choice, why can't this baby just come on it's own, why do I have all this say? In this type of situation I feel as though the dr. should know and do what's best. He's very nice but he just doesn't give me the "I'm in charge reassuring feeling." It makes me angry that they are so quick to induce and that they won't let people go overdue. Also, I still don't know if this baby is breech or not. They will apparently give me an ultrasound before they induce me.
I just want to cry. I don't feel qualified to "pick" the day my baby is going to be born. Another thing that's bothering me is that he okay'd them to use Pito.cin. Apparently they are going to break my water and if I don't progress they are going to use Pito.cin, which I am NOT okay with. I am not going to allow them to give me Pito.cin. Although, I just did some more research and apparently it's ok to use sparingly if labor is stalled. I just don't know how I feel about it especially since it makes labor pains worse. The nurse double checked with the dr and he for sure said it was okay, which again leaves me wishing that this baby would just come on it's own. I hate this situation that I'm in and I'm super angry that I'm not able to enjoy the end of this pregnancy like I feel I should be able to do.
R isn't very comfortable with the whole situation either and I so wish that he was able to attend my appt. with me today. He would like to see them induce me only after I'm overdue. This is also really stupid but I hate the date August 29th, sorry if anyone has a birthday that day but I really dislike the date. I wanted to avoid having to "pick" my son's birthday if at all possible! Why can't this baby just come on it's own????? Please, please pray that he comes before Friday on his own.

Maybe you should just schedule the induction for whatever day they want you to...and then just not show up :). What could that do, really?? Then when you finally do go into labor, then go to the hospital. I'm sure they couldn't turn you away.

Oh geesh, what a way to delurk.
Hi, I don't remember how I got here but I've been reading for a little while.
Anyway...I'm confused. Why is your doctor insisting on inducing you? Is there a medical reason that you can not carry the baby to term and then some if that's what time table the baby wants to follow? I mean what the heck? I don't get it.
I'd tell that doctor to go piss up a rope and my baby will come when he is darn good and ready! Seriously he cannot force you to agree to an induction.
Don't let him bully you! And as for Pitocin...Pitocin is the devil. Pure, unadulterated evil. Avoid at all costs. Trust me.
Will be watching to see how things go and sending you positive vibes and energy.

I totally agree with Poppy. Unless your doctor is certain that the baby is head down is afraid that it may turn breech again before labor (unlikely given the amount of space in there) I don't get what he is doing.
I had Pitocin as a last desperate step the last hour of my labor and it SUCKED! I had the most minimal dosage they could give and I was SCREAMING for an epidural. If it wasn't for m;y midwife lying to me and saying it was on the way, all of my Bradley training would have gone out the window and I would have had another c-section.
You don't have to fit into the doctors schedule! If baby's head down and healthy, hang in there! If your doctor doesn't have a good reason to induce.....Don't!
Sounds like you guys are going to have to be bulldogs to get the birth you want! I hope you have an agressive hubbie! Dustin had to end up going head to head with the director of nursing on the labor floor to get them to stop pushing drugs on me and another c'section.
I"m praying for you!
