Thank you so much for thinking of me!

I went for acupuncture on Wednesday and Thursday. On Wed, I also had a chiro adjustment. The doctor told me that my pelvis was out of alignment. I went back for more acupuncture on Thursday morning and also had an awesome acupressure massage.

I had some promising contractions last night, but they stopped. The chiro who did the adjustment and acupuncture is out of town today all through the weekend due to a death in her family, so I won't have any more treatments.

Today I will do some walking. The doctor also showed me some acupressure points that I can stimulate myself, so I plan to do that and play some more with my breast pump.

Unless something happens in the next 48 hours, it looks like I will be induced at 10 am on Sunday morning. I have total faith in my doctor. She will not let anything bad happen to me. I chose her specifically because she is on board with all my concerns. She is also a member of this community. We had a long talk about the induction yesterday and she told me that we will go "slow and low" on pitocin. I will have my Bradley instructor there acting as my doula plus my husband, so I will have the support system I need.

I'm just going to try and make the best of it. I am so anxious to meet my baby and I am grateful that she is healthy. I am busy today setting up the cosleeper and getting last minute preps underway.

AWSOME to have all that help/encouragement.
I wanted to tell you I had an induction with my now 4 yr old. My doctor also allowed me to go slow. we started at 7am and Nathan wasnt born till 4 am the next day. I did elect to have an epidural at about 9pm but I asked for it and slept from 12 to 330am. Felt the urge to push at 420 and birthed him at 438.

Get busy today Set up everthing wipe every thing off move some furnature and vacuum under it hopefully you will be laboring on your own before sunday!

Good luck!
