Hi,
So I had a growth scan (I have these once a month due to a high risk pregnancy) and it was found during the scan that my baby's cord isn't working as well as it should. They decided I'd need to be induced (I was 36w5d) and was told to return the following day 25/11
I received a call from my MW on the 25/11 who mentioned that I'd need to come in to be scanned again to double check and decide next steps.
I went for my scan today and again, the scan showed the same issue. There was also a poly (can't remember the exact term) but basically a sac of fluid of some sort that measured slightly higher than it should?
The consultant said that they would like to induce me today (26/11) and I'm really really scared.
I've scared of giving birth (I'm an anxious person generally - I know I'm not the first and won't be the last to give birth but I was starting to research pain relief and come to terms with the processes of labour ready for my mid December delivery) I'm also scared that the above things that are wrong are the result of a abnormality of some sort with the baby? Ive been Googling all sorts which doesn't help. But I'm just petrified of the unknown. I wasn't expecting things to go like this, I thought I'd attend this scan (was meant to be my last growth scan before she's here) and that everything would be fine as it has been and that I'd give birth in December.
Sorry I know this post is a bit all over the place but I feel like I need to let out how I feel :/
