Today is THE day. I go at 5pm TODAY to get induced. I have been contracting very frequently since I got my membranes swept yesterday. I really didn’t get any rest and I am so exhausted. Kindve nauseated too.. I am so so so so scared. I don’t wanna die, and I’m so scared something bad will happen. Please. Give me some wise words today. I need it. I am a wreck.

Thankyou for your reply. I hope nothing bad happens. Yes I have a name.

The nurses and technicians will do everything to make you as comfortable as possible, your doc has delivered 100’s of babies, you are going to be fine and well cared for.

My daughter was induced May 22nd and I have a beautiful granddaughter. Think about this tiny little treasure your going to welcome into your life. 💜🌺

Thank you and Agora1 . 💜

She did this all by her self with us sitting at home. Covid won by keeping us from being there during her delivery. 😥 Went in 5:00 am and by lunch time we had a granddaughter. All is good, my daughter is fighter, proud moments for sure.

I'm sorry you missed the delivery. These are tough times. Sad what we have missed. Precious moments we won't get back.

What's her name?

in reply to Dolphin14

Her name is Charlie. She took the middle name of her grandma. My daughters name is Ashton, unique names we choose for sure. 🤣
