Induction
So, I went for my doctors visit yesterday. Due to the blood disorder that I have and the blood thinners that I am on, my hematologist recommended that I speak to my OB about inducing labor (In order to stop taking my blood thinners in order to be able to get an epidural). I spoke with my OB and he thought induction would be a good idea, so this is what is going to happen
When I hit 39 weeks, I will go to my OB for him to check my cervix. If it is soft, I will be induced the next morning. If not, they will give me cervadil and then induce me the next morning. I asked him about the pitocin and he said that it makes contraction worse than natural labor but that I will be able to get the epidural as soon as I want it. So that is good news
Hoping this all goes smoothly. I cannot believe this will all be happening in 13 weeks
edited becasue I wrote c-section instead of epidural

Re: Induction
You may want to try to learn some natural techiques for pain managment as the epidural too early can stall labor.
Good Luck.

Yes, that is one of my other questions. I will try to hold out as long as I can. Thanks for the tip
