Being induced at 37+4 (wednesday)....

[cameli]

....due to having obstetric cholestasis.

Anything I need to know?

I had my last baby at 31+2 via emcs so this is new territory for me. Have already been advised it may result in another section.

How exciting! As the baby is full term, hopefully this will be a very different experience to having a premature baby.

Have they told you how they plan on inducing? What they will use, what monitoring they use?

Many doctors are wary about inductions in someone who has had a previous C/S, have they discussed this with you?

You don't have to have CFM - they can monitor you at set intervals using a hand-held monitor. That means you'll be more mobile as you won't be stuck on the bed and able to use gravity to help shift the baby.

Not sure what the induction procedure itself will be with you having a CS last time, can't remember if they use a different route rather than prostin-ARM-Syntocinon
