If you are following along, you have probably already read in my 40 Week Bumpdate that we have scheduled our induction. Here are the details:
On Tuesday, May 28th at 6:30pm we are to call Labor and Delivery and get the go ahead to come in that night at 7:30pm. They will then begin putting gel (prostaglandins) on my cervix to get it to start to ripen. The gel will be applied every 4 hours, so we will stay the night at the hospital.
The gel alone may start contractions. If it doesn't, the next morning (Tuesday, May 29th) around 7:30/8am, they will start pitocin to get contractions going.
HOPEFULLY we will then have a baby by Tuesday night or Wednesday morning, if not sooner!!
You can read more about the process of induction on BabyCenter.
If I do get induced, I'll just be chilling at the hospital waiting for things to get started, so watch my facebook blog page and twitter for updates! If baby comes before our induction date, I'll try to keep you all updated via facebook and twitter too! Don't worry...I'll let you all know when he is here...no need to text...I'll text YOU! :)
For family and friends that are wanting to come visit, we will let you know when we are ready for visitors :)
