Today I had a scan following measuring small at mw apt. Cord, placenta and fluids were recorded.
I then went across the hospital again to the ante natal clinic to see the mw. She told me it had been arranged to start my induction on Saturday 11th Jan at 40+7. I'm not sure how I feel about it now its booked. As long as baby comes safely I will endure anything. But to know that is when I will be going in to have my baby seems to feel like somewhat similar to when we got booked in for our tfmr. I'm desperately trying hard not to feel this way. Keep telling myself "I'm taking this baby home to raise".
I'm a little frightened and anxious because the scan picked up high cord readings (pl??) that were picked up on our Xmas eve scan, meaning it was a little overworking itself but a concern would be if it tired out. Also the fluid around her has reduced and that has caused concern. I'm not sure why that's happened, I haven't been leaking any and pantyliners have been dry (sorry if tmi).
So my mw is coming to do a sweep at my home tomorrow, on my due date, and I'm booked in to go in from Sunday til my induction next Saturday to have daily CTG monitoring for 15mins. I'm sure all will be fine but there's obviously something that causes them concern.
I haven't told any of my family or friends I'm being induced or about the scan measurements. I don't want them either fussing over me (friends and sisters) or adding to my worries by turning into their own stress (my parents). We are going to tell oh parents tonight because they keep a level head and have been brilliant and supportive this year. I'm aware induction my drag on and mil is the only one I trust to look after our dog while oh is by my side and also I could ask her to bring us anything we asked to the hospital but would not stay or impose on our time there.
So here's hoping labour starts naturally. Told myself I would retire from making negative posts so will end this one on a positive note. Today I arranged the soft toys in the nursery, rechecked my hospital bag, which I'm not sure if it will need rearranging for an induction stay. Then I washed the last of her things, gifts from work friends and 2 beautiful animal hooded towels from my sister and her wife. Its lovely holding her things. Keep smelling the comfort on them and stroking her things. Not long now.
