Memorial Day is the Big Day!

Well, they scheduled my inducement today for the evening of the 26th. I am planning on getting a pedicure with a deep massage Thursday (there are trigger points in the foot that have caused women to go into labor). I will have one more appointment on Friday morning to try to get things rolling, then Saturday morning I will drink Castor Oil mixed with a fruit smoothie (last resort as mentioned in a previous post). If none of these things work the plan is to start with Cervidil Monday night. If Cervidil works then I will not have to change any of my birth plans and can still have a water birth. If Cervidil doesn't work, the next step would be Pitocin. Pitocin is a drug that is administered by IV, if they have to use this drug, this means, no water birth or the posh delivery room that I SOOO wanted. Since it is more of a risk for the baby, I will have to be hooked to monitors to make sure the baby is not stressed which will not allow me to move freely like I had planned. In the end, I am making peace with this and whatever else I will have to do to bring home a healthy baby. This is truly our ultimate goal.
Send good vibes our way! Erin, I am praying that it is on your birthday!!!
