It looks like I might get induced tomorrow morning anyway. I just got home from my bi weekly AFI and NST. We left the hospital against their advisement. My fluid measured a 2. The NST was still good but the midwife on call wanted me to stay overnight at least for monitoring, until my midwife comes on call at 7am at which time they'd start pitocin. So I left at my "own risk" and got a lot of scary stuff thrown at me. (She really DID seem nervous)
Anyway I agreed to come back at 7am to be induced, but my plan is to have my midwife have do a palpation and then maybe request another sonogram. I'm just not comfortable with the girl who did it today. The other one usually double and triple checks and this one only did it once and was very quick to accept the number. So...I went with my instincts (I think) and left but I am an emotional wreck with the fact that in less than 12 hours I could be on a pitocin drip. After all my ranting and raving about inductions...
I just don't know how comfortable I am, going on indefinitely with a fluid number of 2. It's a risk analysis at this point and it's looking like one that I may not be comfortable taking. I'm not happy either way I guess. Please send me hard labor vibes tonight!

UPDATE!
I'm home you guys and I have the Lucy Elizabeth with me. It will take a lot of thinking on my part to be able to do the whole experience justice with words. I'll post the birth story as soon as I feel able to do this. I'll also link to pics asap. It didn't go as planned but my phenomenal midwives and doula were pure gold.
I love you all and thank you so much for the support.
