I leave for the hospital in an hour. I am very glad I had the good sense to turn on my ringer last night because usually my phone is on silent until 8 am. They called at 6 am from a private number and in my sleep-lazy haze, I nearly did not answer.
Whoops.
Now to chug some coffee and panic that I'm forgetting everything even though I know they'll send me home in a few hours anyway.

It'll probably be more like late-Sunday baby, to be honest.

Good luck misskilljoy!! Let’s see some hustle Baby Killjoy. We are actually okay with the baby not being here until tomorrow or Monday because then MH gets more paid days off... XD

So far, I am sitting quietly at the kitchen table drinking coffee and eating a low key breakfast while MH goes into full panicky meltdown mode.

On the monitors! They are going to check me in a while after getting the fetal tracing. BP is high, which actually makes me feel a bit better because it's the same as what I get at home so it's not my machine. This is not an unnecessary induction.
It's just me and one other woman here and we got here at the same time. It's weird for L&D triage to be so relaxed, haha.

They are not thrilled with baby's vitals right now because he seems to be asleep so I am drinking ginger ale at 8 AM. XD

Good luck today! Are you in a group room situation too? Yeah, they stick you in triage while waiting to be in active labour. There are four beds here (small hospital).

Cervidil is in. Not nearly as bad as last time, thankfully... This doctor has teeny hands. She claims it may work faster this time. An hour of lying here on monitors, 10 minute walk, 20 minute NST and then I may be released for a while. Baby woke up and they're happier with his heart rate and reactivity now. They brought me breakfast for some reason. Not complaining! This is my very exciting view.

I love these updates! And it seems like a win/ win here. If baby takes his time then it's better for your H and work, and if baby comes soon, well.....BABY!!!

Blood work and NST were good. We are headed home for a while! No real contractions or anything from the Cervidil yet. I have to call in at 3 to check in, then come back at 9 pm for round two.
There have been two women here making me nervous for them and I hope both they and their babies are okay. One was 22 weeks with elevated liver enzymes and she's refusing to wait for an ultrasound. The other was 27 weeks and had a super weird fetal rhythm... like DH noticed instantaneously and he never notices that stuff. It was doing like three thumps, then silence. Three thumps, silence. She was gone by the time I came back from my walk.
The other woman who came in to be induced at the same time looks suuuuuper uncomfortable. Poor thing.
