I have my induction date

post #1 of 15
Thread Starter 
This Friday!

My appointments today went ok overall. Blood pressure is still high, but not too bad, about the same as it's been, protein in urine again though. No major swelling or anything.

My amniotic fluid levels were up more though, that's not good since it was already high(they measured it at 34, last time it was a 30, so it's gone from high end mild to high end moderate). My fundal height is up to 46cm(up from 44 last week), so I am huge! And I actually lost 1.5lbs this past week.

Baby is doing well, the bpp and nst went great. They are estimating her weight at 6.4 lbs.

Still 3cm dilated, 60% effaced.

So anyway, due to the pre-e, the gestational diabetes(which my fasting numbers are still high, they increased my insulin dosage again), the risks from the polyhydramnios, and my past history of shoulder dystocia at 38 weeks, we are going ahead with the 37 week induction.

So, unless I go into labor before then, we are checking into the hospital at noon on Friday!

How exciting! I'll be interested in hearing how everything goes for you, as I might also be a candidate for induction at 37wks.

Good luck! I hope everything goes really smoothly for you!
