We got an Induction date!

I met with my real doctor for the first time today finally, I've been working with my gestational diabetes nurse for the past 3 months. I discussed with the doctor about having the baby come early because she is getting too big (based on the ultrasound last week) and that we really don't want to have a c-section. She discussed it with the attending on shift and they agreed, so we got a date to be induced! She said if nothing natural has happened by then, they will admit me the night of Dec 16, begin the first round of meds, then go from there and on the 17th start the other meds, and we'll have the baby that day if all goes well!! We are so excited. We know something could happen sooner, but we also know that they are willing to intervene and do an induction because the baby is so big. I have to stay the night that first night for the induction and then I have a mandatory 2-night stay after delivery because I tested positive for the Group B Strep, so minimum 3 night stay for us.

Baby is doing good, everything looks okay still for now. Be sure to post here if you have any questions or comments. You can post as "anonymous" and not have to sign up for an account, and then at the end of your comment just put your name after it so we know who you are. Love y'all!
