So relieved!

So relieved!

I came back from my doctor's appt. yesterday all freaked out. I'd let her check my cervix, which was doing nothing, and then she started talking about going to the hopital for tests before scheduling an induction... well, my head started spinning, as I don't like the hospital, will do almost anything to avoid being induced, and in the end I wasn't really paying attention. So I cried a whole lot last night, and got DF all upset, because he though she was going to induce me on Monday from what I was saying....

Anyway, my doctor just called to ask about the tests as it included ultrasound, which I had been avoiding, and I managed to explain that I hadn't been listening, and really wasn't interested in any testing. So she's asked me to do fetal movement counts (10 movements in 4 hours), and we will discuss things at my next appt. (Which isn't until next Friday, at which point I will be just 42 weeks.)

Yay! I'm so happy to have all these worries gone! I can relax now, and hopefully have this baby before needing to worry anymore!

Just needed to share some news. Thanks for listening to me vent, you guys are awesome!

Yay! I know you'll have that baby before next Friday I'm so glad she's not pushing testing you're not interested in

Hey, great news! I'm really glad you can relax a little. Maybe that will help the baby come!

I think you are a very strong woman to stick with your ideals even knowing inducing would at least relieve all that itching! Good for you

My epidural made my upper abdomen itch so bad and I couldn't help myself. I scratched so much the marks were there for days. That was just an hour or so - so I can't imagine what you're experiencing!
