Possibly My Last Prenatal Appointment
Post Body

So I will be 41 weeks on Sunday and have an appointment today in about 2 hours. At my last 2 appointments I got checked both times and have had nothing happening. With how small I am my doctor has worried about me delivering vaginally but I got an all clear at 39 weeks. I have been worried though the longer we wait the bigger she will get and it will end up a c section no matter what so I am going to ask my doctor if we can set up an induction date at today's appointment. Honestly I can't keep being pregnant and am full term.

I know its better for baby to come when she is ready but if I don't have her soon then I honestly worry about her health and my own. I want to avoid a c section until its a last resort, and right now if things keep going as they are there won't be any other option because she will be too big so I am just going to ask and see if we can get one set up as soon as possible. I know that inducing leads to a higher risk of a c section, but honestly I have noticed in my family that it seems like all first born babies have to be induced because they don't want to come on there own. Both my mom and my oldest sister had to be induced the first time. Apparently our babies are either just too comfortable or too scared to come out lol.

I really hope we can get her here sooner rather then later and that my next post is a birth story rather then another update, but I will have to wait and see first. I will try to update after my appointment depending on everything. I have been having pelvic pressure and my stomach has been doing inconsistent tightening so hopefully this appointment will bring some news I actually want lol.
