Hi everyone, my induction process started last Monday when I was 38 weeks, I went in and my cervix was ready to have waters broken, so was put on the waiting list for a bed. I was needing the induction for gestational diabetes and big baby. Luckily I go every day for a check and can come home. I've had 6 sweeps in hopes my waters break naturally and I jump the list. Mentally I'm really struggling, and I feel some may just think it's dramatic, and no difference to waiting to start naturally. I don't even know what I expect doing this post, and I understand others are priority, but there's something about waiting and not knowing, and expecting to have your baby by now (plus the worry of baby growing more) that really gets you down. I feel I'd have been in a better place to not have been told I needed an induction, as the times going by anyway, so all this anxiety is for nothing! Then I feel really guilty for not taking them up on going to a hospital 1hour 40 away, because it would have made me even more anxious, just the thought of driving all that way back with a newborn, pain from birth, not to mention if baby does need extra help when born, being further away from home makes me so anxious!
Guess I just need a rant!
