Induction Day

Getting induced at 5:00pm today and not sure what to do for the remainder of the day… sitting around is only making me spiral in my fears of child birth and the pain associated with it

How many weeks are you and why are you being induced if I can ask?! Also … YOU GOT THIS! Go for a walk or do something fun like a mani and pedicure 💖distract your mind

@Irene 37 weeks today and preeclampsia! I did all the mani and pedi things this week when I got the news. My husband is in go mode and vacuuming and doing all the chores 😂 I’m trying to remain calm.

That is my husband every single time I feel a braxton hick 🤣🤣🤣🤣!!! Watch a show, a movie, go into your bathtub relax. If there is a beach close by just go and relax. Or nap 😂🙈naps are always good

@Courtney when did you get diagnosed with preclampsia?

@Allison Wednesday! I had asked the past 3 visits because I’m paranoid (showed 0 signs) and then had slightly elevated blood pressure on Monday. Doctor ran some bloodwork, called me Wednesday to diagnose and scheduled my induction

@Courtney that's what I'm kind of nervous about. I'm not showing any signs yet but I'm only 35 weeks

@Allison I’m a VERY anxious person, so I asked all the questions. I’m thankful my OB is extremely patient. He ran the tests out of “an abundance of caution” but I’m glad he heard my concerns. Don’t be afraid to speak up

Have a nice dinner a little bit before you go in, they won’t let you eat usually. Take a shower, take some last belly photos, enjoy the moments with your husband without baby.

@KayLee yes! Eat a good dinner

Rest, and eat good! I was induced last week and laboring is extremely exhausting you want your body to have all the energy you’re going to need. You got this!!!

@Ebony congratulations

I wish you good luck And have a smooth delivery 🥰
