4/6 Update

I had my appointments today. Keira is weighing in at an estimated 8 1/2-9lbs. I am 2 centimeters dilated, still 60% effaced, and at a -2 station. Because I am that far along and because of the injury to my back, my doctor has strongly advised me to be induced Thursday. I asked her a million questions and after her million assured answers, have decided to go ahead and be induced. She does not think I will have to have pitocin for long, just long enough to get my contractions going regularly, and then they will take me off it and let me progress on my own. I have been having contractions every 8 minutes or so for a little while now, and am trying to not think too much about them at the moment because I am so tired of being disappointed about being tricked by braxton hicks contractions. I will find out tomorrow morning what time I will be going in on Thursday. Fingers crossed for a quick delivery!
