I Just got a Message From My Dr's Office....
..They scheduled me for an induction for Tuesday!!!
I am so angry, I'm trying to get in touch with them now.
I had an NST yesterday, as well as a fluid level check, everything was perfect.
The baby is head down, but the Sono Tech said it still hasn't dropped very low yet.
I'm also still not dilated at all.
I swear I think they screwed up my due date.
I wish nature would just take it's course.

They cannot force you to have an induction!! That would make me sooooo mad. It's your body and it will do its job just give it a little more time.
How many days overdue are you?
At 42 weeks was when my midwives did inductions because at that point they say the baby really needs to come out but I still think they let you make the decision (not sure).

Re: I Just got a Message From My Dr's Office....
Tuesday is only 8 days past your due date! My girlfriend refused an induction and had her daughter naturally at 12 days past due....do what is right for you. As long as the baby is healthy why do they want to induce?
Probably so they won't have to ruin their New Years plans

You don't have to go in for an induction. How big is the baby measuring? Good luck ...sending you lots of labor vibes!

It's in the 7 lb. range, so not huge.
They're just being A-holes b/c it's the Holiday time I'm sure.

Re: I Just got a Message From My Dr's Office....
Oh Andrea... I'm so sorry to hear this. I know that that is so against everything you believe.
Keep trying to get in touch with them... and if worst comes to worst... Don't show up!
But serisously- I'm praying that you get your wish and for baby to come when he/she is ready.

7 lbs isn't so big that they should be inducing. The little one can stay in there at that weight another week, week and a half.

So what are you going to do?
Castor Oil...Here I come.
It should be a lovely Christmas for me on "the throne" .
Yeah, I think I might give the old castor oil a shot. Don't know what else to do.

I bet you'll go into labor before or on the day they plan on inducing you. Murphy's law...

Re: I Just got a Message From My Dr's Office....
Maybe your baby just really wants to be born on Christmas! I am sure that with all of the excitement of the holidays, this kid will decide to pop out!
Good luck!

Maybe the baby will decide to surprise you and the contractions will start later or tomorrow. You never know.

Actually, I just read this (from a midwife)...
"Personally, I would have to be pretty desperate to take castor oil. If one of my pregnant ladies really wants to take it, and she is more than 39 weeks pregnant, I will give her the recipe. I have not seen it be very successful. Most of those for whom it works are already 2 - 3 cm dilated and have been having contractions (but not labor) for weeks."
"There has been much debate over whether taking castor oil to induce labor will cause the baby to have its first bowel movement in the womb before birth. This pre-birth bowel movement, called meconium, can be dangerous, because if baby inhales some of it it can cause pneumonia in the lungs. Meconium is also a widely-held signal that the baby is in some sort of distress. Most professionals with any experience with castor oil inductions agree that this is untrue. They have found that there is no increased occurrence of meconium in castor oil induced labors over spontaneous labors.
The real danger lies in the mother when using castor oil for labor induction. With the severity of the diarrhea, a laboring woman can quickly become dehydrated. Especially in a typically highly managed hospital birth where a woman is allowed few fluids. Dehydration makes one tired and less able to endure through physical activity. Plus, not only does this endanger breastfeeding (proper hydration is necessary to make adequate milk), but a dehydrated uterus is an aggravated uterus, and an aggravated uterus causes more pain for the mother. More pain makes a woman less able to handle natural child birth and puts her and the baby at increased risk for a snowball of interventions. "

Re: I Just got a Message From My Dr's Office....
I wouldn't mess with any at home remedies either. When its time, its time. Hopefully the baby will cooperate very soon. But so far the baby must be so comfy that he/she doesn't want to move.

Good luck. I was ready to die before I could fathom drinking castor oil.
I really hope your little one shows soon.
