So we went for the weekly check up today . CTG did not detect any contractions but am already 3cm dilated. However, according to Dr W, baby's getting a little too big and about time to have him out. He's now 3.6kg and she recommends inducing on Friday, which is a day before edd. Typically, she will only take the route of inducing 3 days after edd, but in this case to avoid an emergency c-sect for fear of a too large baby, she recommends this Friday.
I have such mixed feelings after this news. For one, I had really hope labour would come naturally, with as little intervention and drug as possible. A doctor friend with 3 kids said all her 3 boys were late as had to be induced, she said "trust your gynae". Which I do and will listen to her. At the end of the day if it comes to the point where we have to do a c-sect, there's not much we can do too. All we want is for him to be healthy and safe.
Well, at least we now have a date to look forward to. That is if he doesn't make the finale appearance today or tomorrow!
See you on Friday baby!
