Had what was ment to be my last OB appointment today before my induction next week. upon examination, baby is 'miles away' from my cervix and my cervix has only just started to move forward and is still a few cm's long.
Ob said he's hesitant to induce me with gels because of the higher risk of csection and would rather we wait until my cervix is good to go. fair enough.
he left the desicion up to me and said if we still want to go ahead as planned thats fine. i requested another examination on tuesday to see where we're at and go from there as i know things can change quickly.
he said that was a great idea.
FFW had a growth and heart scan immediatly after and the ob requested i come in on tuesday for monitoring because the cord blood flow is slower than they'd like to see. we always knew this could be a possibility being a diabetic.
So my question is, has anyone been induced with a high up bub and a cervix not really optimal? how did it turn out?
i'm happy to wait but this placenta slowing down business has gotten me really worried, does anyone know what sort of risks are involved with letting it go on for longer?
i know the best people to talk are the professionals next week but was hoping someone would have some advice.
trying to work out which risk is greater, less than optimal induction or running a slow placenta?
