Livy Update

I had my appointment today for 37 weeks and the doctor moved my due date to September 30th/October 1st which is what I had calculated. There wasn't much change, I'm still almost 2 CM and 70% effaced, but Livy has dropped. He wants to see me back Monday to check me and schedule induction.

All along this pregnancy I've said I didn't want to be induced because I wanted the whole experience of going into labor on my own since I was induced with Addie but now I'm starting to rethink it... The doctor is concerned about the baby getting stuck and being too large, and I definitely don't want a Cesarean or an episiotomy, so I am trying to decide what to do! I had Addie at 38 weeks 6 days I think, so if I were to do that again, that puts me at next Thursday...

I still have a TON to do around the house and a storage room full of stuff to be unpacked. I don't have any of my baby stuff unpacked, I've just been working on putting what is already in my house back together before I bring in loads of new things. So that is my dilemma... to induce or not to induce. Sigh.

I wasn't induced with either of my pregnancies. I went into labor with Emma, but because her heart rate was so high, she ended up being a c-section. The boys were a scheduled c-section because they were both breech. The doctor said they could turn Liam, but they couldn't guarantee that Jackson would turn. No way was I going to have to recover from 2 births at once! I told the doctor if they were going to do a c-section, both boys would be born c-section! Good luck, and keep us posted!!!

I don't know if I want to be induced with my next kid. There was good and bad about doing it with Conner. It's a hard decision! I wanted him to come early but he just wouldn't. haha. It's going to be fine and soon you'll have Livy there. And I'm sure you'll be ready. As ready as you can be.

I had the same decision to make with Pierson. I wanted to go natural (for me = no inducing) but once the doctor offered induction I jumped at the offer. I am excited to see what you choose!
