41 Weeks & 1 Day – Inducing & Name Change

29 June 2008 One Comment

Yesterday was the 41 week mark and I’m still very pregnant. The last few days I have been battling a cold, sore throat, and trouble sleeping. Perfect timing, right? Tonight we are headed to the hospital to start inducing. Medically, we decided its probably best for her to come now so we are going to follow doctors orders and go ahead with it. I can feel her getting bigger by the second. Only a week ago I could get in and out of bed easily and now I feel like a roly poly on ice.

We are going to the hospital tonight at 8pm. We will get checked in and they will give me cytotec to help dilate me tonight while we sleep. In the morning if I haven’t gone into labor yet they will give me pitocin to start contractions. We have to stay at the hospital the entire time. None of this was in my birth plan but the goal is to have her out healthy.

We are also thinking of changing the name. Stay tuned!
