Hi I know I'm probably worrying unduly, but after coming back from every appointment being told that everything's going really well, yesterday came as a big shock for me.
I am consultant led due to a disability so yesterday at my 39 week check up they measured my tummy and found that it was smaller than the week before. I was sent for a scan and they found that although baby was still measuring around 38-40 weeks, his progress had plateaued slightly. They want to do a sweep next week and then induce me on my due date (Thursday).
I keep crying thinking I've done something wrong. Was it that cured meat I ate? Have I been doing too much? They told me to 'go home and relax' but this has really scared me. They said they are inducing just to be on the safe side and that if anything was 'really wrong' they would have induced me on the spot. I'm really hoping we might go into labour on our own as I am nervous about the induction.
Does anyone have any experience of this sort of thing? Any positive induction stories?
Any help really appreciated today x
