Induction
Show your support
Ahh thanks for your reply. Yes, it’s a difficult one as my partner/family are kind of, of the opinion to listen to the drs as they will be trying to avoid running in to situations like developing preeclampsia. At the same time, I feel like as I’m being medicated now, is it necessary?!.. but also understand why the medical people would suggest to do it as I’ll be full term anyway so just minimising any potential risks (even if they are low!) argh. Lol. Would hate to say no and then something risky happens - but also don’t want to force things when I (or we!) could be okay. Such a tricky one! X
It's wise to keep an eye but BP can easily become a self fulfilling prophecy - you worry about it being high, so naturally it goes up. I wouldn't act on high BP alone, their main concern would he pre eclampsia but this can only be confirmed with blood tests and there are other symptoms. Just research what you can and make decisions there you're happy with. The care you receive is still your choice 🤍 x
Thanks - yes the preeclampsia has been tested for several times. I suppose it is the risk of developing it still as time goes on too - which id be very inclined to avoid happening! Hmm have done a bit of research today and hypertension alone is suggested as one of the medical reasons to be induced. Think I’m dreading any extra pain etc but ultimately just want to do what is right for myself and the baby! So hard to know!
I am on the exact same position but due this Saturday. I have personally decided to keep an eye on my bp and decline any induction methods unless baby shows signs of distress asI think she will come when shes ready. I think it’s important to trust your gut when deciding what’s best for you and baby. Consider all options but make sure you are not pushed into something you don’t want unnecessarily.
