I understand the frustration... you were expecting to meet your bubba... however, as you weren't responding, obviously your body and baby aren't ready yet. The doc sounds like a good one to say give it a few more days and see how it goes. I hope that it goes well for you and try not stress, take the time to relax as much as you can Reflexology is good and I think helps once your body is ready. I did it a bit.
Hi Cherii
I know of a good accupuncurist in Brisbane that has much success with inducing labour if you want his details.
How are your sugars? Are they well controlled? If so even waiting another week might make all the difference. 38w is quite early (as far as your body and baby are probably concerned) to be trying to force things if it's a "just in case" measure.
I had insulin dependent GD with my first bub so I know all about the "drill" you go through with it...it can be very hard to hold things off I know. Good luck.
Thank you ladies for the positive feedback.
I gave the reflexology a shot on the Friday when I got home from the hospital and have had family lovingly massage my feet over the weekend to relax me!! I am a little less scared about going in to hospital again for another try as I know what to expect this time around.
I know that regardless what works when I go back in, that I will be having my baby this time around. And that is a nice thought
