update...with an update!!!

edited to add: okay, i just looked back at some SUPER old emails because i couldn't remember when drew was born vs. his due date. i had been thinking he was actually born on his due date...but he wasn't! he was scheduled to be a c-section (because he was breech) on his actual due date of february 23rd. so, he was born ON HIS OWN ACCORD at 40 weeks and 3 days, on february 26th. and sarah was an induction one day after her due date, september 29th at 40 weeks and 1 day. all that to say, i feel better knowing drew was born past his due date...why? i don't know, but i do!!!


okay, so i've been thinkin'...

all along, i've been saying i didn't want to be induced unless it was

a. a medical necessity
b. past my due date.

so, i've called my OB's office to cancel my induction for the 31st. aside from all of the "halloween" stuff, i'm just thinking i should give jacob a chance to come on his own...the nurse i spoke with today said that until i hit 41 weeks, the office doesn't "push" inductions. at this point its still for the convenience of "knowing" and having my own doctor deliver. the induction was scheduled for 40 weeks and 1 day. so, i'm thinking i'm gonna take my chances at this point. i COULD still go into labor anytime...

the nurse i spoke with said that she would talk to dr. williams on monday morning. all of what i want to do IS one of the options dr. w, tim, and i discussed yesterday. the plan now is to cancel the induction and for me to just have a regular office visit next thursday when i am 40 weeks exactly. at THAT appointment, we will schedule an induction for the next week. again, presuming jacob doesn't make his debut on his own...AT ANY POINT...

i just KNOW that i've been "anti-induction" for this whole pregnancy for a number of reasons, and i don't wanna cave just because its getting so close to my due date...now i totally sound like a crazed, hormonal, wishy-washy pregnant woman :) so, now you are all in-the-know...
