Late today I started to notice decreased movements, and the usual tricks weren't working. So, I called my mw, and she made me go in for a NST which confirmed decreased movements. Eventually got to a point where we were all comfortable with the movements (still decreased, but seemed better).
The plan is...head back in tomorrow at 230 EST for another NST, with a biophysical u/s. This has been a possibility since day 1 (thus the no homebirth). It could be the fluid is low, or a placenta/cord/clotting issue. But, either way, it is looking like an induction might happen sometime soon.
And it absolutely sucks, I so wanted to be able to go into labor naturally, as I was also induced with ds. Managed to do it drug free, but, it was hard.
So...my plan is (after careful consultation with my SIL, also a mw...
) go for the u/s, see what it says, get checked (which I'm against, but, at this point, it would fill in some gaps as far as what they might induce me with) and then see how much time I can possibly wiggle to get things moving on my own. But, I don't want to start it tonight til we know exactly what is going on.
I have to bring my bags with me tomorrow just in case.
I'm a nervous wreck.

you and the babe will be in my thoughts and prayers today and I really hope that you get the labor that you were hoping for. You are doing what is right and best for the babe, just know that okay?! We are all here waiting for your news and for support
