So I went to the doctor today. I didn't really expect him to say, "Well, let's schedule your induction now!" since it's a holiday week and I'm (according to THEM) still in my 37th week. My last ultrasound put my due date at the 5th, which would mean I'm almost 39 weeks. Whatever...
What is driving me batty is that he said they want to do an ultrasound next week. FOR WHY!?!?!?!? I'll be 2 days shy of 39 weeks (according to THEM). Who does an u/s at 39 weeks?!?!?!? I'm not gonna have a c-section based on some guestimate that an ultrasound came up with!!! I've birthed a 10 pound baby before I can do it again. I just really, really, don't want to. So why can't I just schedule an induction next week?!?!? Not like it's my first baby. I could understand that. But I've had ALL THREE babies via induction, my body is okay with it. Sammy was a full 2 weeks early, via induction. And he was still a little 8 pounder and neither of us was worse for wear. So what now? We have an u/s that says I'm, oooh, about to have a freaking 13 pound baby and then we get to have a c-section cause he thinks it'd be better, or the u/s says that it's only a little 7 pounder right now so we WAIT and then I do have a-freaking-nother 10 pounder and I have to push for two hours!?!?!
Here's an idea. Let's plan an induction. Induce me. THEN measure the baby. After it comes OUT. And see if that's accurate. *eye roll*
So dumb. It's my fourth child for crying out loud.
Each of my births have been inductions. Each of them have taken EXACTLY ten hours. My body is used to that. I am used to that.
Dr. Hulme, where are you when I need you?
