Hello all,
I will be 38 + 2 tomorrow and due to me being Type 1 diabetic am being induced tomorrow - this will be my first baby and I am now very scared and anxious as have read so many horror stories. I was examined last week and had a Bishops Score of 3 so am now even more anxious as my worst nightmare would be to have a failed induction and to endure hours of labour and end up with an emergency c section anyway! A doctor friend told me the higher up the baby, less likely chance of successful induction and from my understanding my cervix was posterior last week albeit baby's head was stuck in pelvis so hoping that is a good sign! Was 1cm dilated and apparently my cervix was medium - so not soft but not hard either?
I know I am probably experiencing extremely normal first time mum nerves but if anyone has any positive experiences or advice to share please feel free! Due to my diabetes, I don't think I will be able to be that mobile as I will be monitored as will baby so am a tad stressed out by that too as all my ante natal classes were talking about mobility being key for a successful, less likely to tear etc delivery - yikes!!
Thanks in advance for any help!
