So, I am on the stand-by list for next Wednesday the 27th. That's also my nephew's bday, which sucks a little bit.

I'm pretty freaked out about the induction. It was so horrible last time. But, the good news is I am 3 cm dialated and 80% effaced so at least it will go quickly (if it doesn't happen naturally before Wednesday!) Too bad I'm on bed rest and shouldn't be walking or having sex or any of the things that help induce labor... urgh!!!

mammag replied: I'm sorry you have to be induced. It will work out fine though.

So does knowing the day make you more nervous, excited? I was induced with Keegan and I was a nervous wreck the night before and all day that day. I never was with the other kids.

kit_kats_mom replied: Well, I'm sorry that you don't get to go naturally and that they scheduled an induction, but it sounds like you could go anytime! You are making progress. How exciting
Good luck!!! ELV's

Kaitlin'smom replied: Well I hope she decides not to wait so you dont have to be induced

5littleladies replied: Well I'm sorry you have to be induced but it's exciting that she will be here soon!! I hope everything goes well. ~~~~~~~~~ELV~~~~~~~~~

Boys r us replied: Well..none the less it IS exciting to know she'll be here in under a week..one way or another!! I can't wait and I know you can't!!!

Well..only thing I can tell you is A) straddle a chair backwards, this helps with dialation
drink some castor oil mixed with OJ!

DansMom replied: Yikes! I can't believe you are so close already Amy! With your progress already, it really could happen before the induction date. I've got my fingers crossed for this weekend, so you can have the natural birth you want.

A&A'smommy replied: ugh you poor thing!!! Maybe you will go naturally before then! (((HUGS))) either way it will probably be MUCH easier this time!!!

~KARA~ replied: Sounds like your progressing nicely.

Im being induced in August and cant wait. My last 2 inductions were pretty fast. Both under or right at 3hours!

jcc64 replied: Wow, I guess I lost track of time, Amy. 3cm's is a great start, I bet you won't last till the 27th. And with the 2nd kid, you'll see labor will go much faster this time.
My sitter is due any day as well. Also a girl. Congrats in advance!

jdkjd replied: I'm sure the induction will go a lot quicker this time but I'll send natural birth vibes...

Good luck!
