Aww WW im so sorry you are feeling down.
I will be getting induced early due to my GD, i have avoided the induction threads for that very reason you mention. I just dont want for care for an opinion on the matter. I'll do what needs to be done.
Good luck hun, and i look forward to seeing your B/A

WW you poor thing - I second Jaki, you just have to do what needs to be done. I had a c-section at 40 weeks because DS was extremely high, posterior and had made no attempt to engage. My OB told me even if I did go into labour naturally (which he didnt think I would) I had a 50% chance of running into trouble and needing an emergency c-section. So we (after much soul searching and stress) decided to have an elective. With this bub I was also be having an elective. No VBAC for me as I dont feel the risk is worth my bub's life. Some people on these here interwebs would think I was terrible, or at least a fool, but I simply don't care. I will do the right thing by my child and believe that parenting is all about what you do from the moment they are here, not what you do to get them out.
I know, the last few weeks are hell waiting for your bub to come, please try to relax and enjoy what you can and SLEEP while you can and know that your little miracle will be here before you know it.

WW - thinking of you. I don't trust doctors much either. I feel as though my 1st IVF Dr was after my money as he missed so many key & obvious things about me that I miscarried 2 bubs when maybe I didn't need to at all. I say always go with your gut.
OneDay - welcome & I also concur with the girls. I am 13 weeks long now and I have had one sided pain and the odd two sided pain on and off for most of this pregnancy, which sounds terribly like Ectopic - but it's not.
AFM - Apparently nausea is down to low progesterone (and subsequently Estrogen dominance). So the sicker you are the lower your progesterone is. I know mine is real low as I've been getting it monitored. Also because I have Endo, this means low progesterone is present. So right now my progesterone is at 60. I'm using the Crinone every 2nd day still, and hoping that my Progesterone levels rise enough that I can stop using it. Anyway, as I said I have an appt with my Dr today and will ask for something to assist the nausea. Today is a slightly better day.............

WW- thinking of you, you have to look after yourself and do what is right for you...hang in there and good luck, looking forward to happy news from you soon
mindhugs- glad today is a slightly better day for you...interesting about the effect of the different hormones...my progesterone has been very high, and i have had no vomitting, just all day feeling queasy, which has now pretty much passed (I still cant eat certain things). I hope it eases for you soon
afm- we are still so relieved and happy after our scan yesterday :-) it's so surreal and amazing to know what is going on in there!...but of course, we are still cautious. to be honest, it actually bugs me when I get comments from people who know, like "oh well you can relax now, all will be fine"... because I am high risk, they dont know that all will be fine, I personally think it is reasonable for me to have some level of caution and extra concern and it makes me feel like I am somehow being a drama queen for not being more relaxed about it all. One lady said "you can start decorating the nursery now"...well no, I am certainly not ready for that. I ended up telling her quietly how we were still being cautious due to my risks etc. then i felt maybe I had said too much. anyway! thats just my little vent today. pf course DH and I are thinking positive and trying to be in the moment, but still.

possums - DH and I have a little joke when one annoys the another... we say "shud upa ya face" like that silly song (i know we are so nice to each other lol)! don't you just wish you could say that to some people then walk away! lol.

Possums - people say stuff that seems perfectly ok to them. I am like you, still high risk. I read in another thread today of someone who unfortunately miscarried their baby at 13 weeks 4 days and she suffered from very low progesterone. So that kind of freaked me out, but a reminder that just because I'm over 12 weeks doesn't mean we are out of the woods yet. I am gonna stay on the disgusting Crinone until 14 weeks at least and check with the Dr again then.
My MIL keeps saying (already...) "You won't know what hit you when this baby comes you know, it's not easy". Oh really? What a surprise to know that. I actually thought it was a breeze raising a child, you know like we won't even really notice any difference to our routine or anything......... Geez I'm gonna welcome the hard work it takes particularly after 4 years of trying, 4 miscarriages, all the laparoscopy's, IVF cycles, emotional rollercoasters etc.
People say the darndest things! I can't wait for ALL the advice people are going to inflict on me about how to be a mum. Ha ha ha - I hope that doesn't sound sinister, it's not meant to be,more sarcastic

Hi Girls
Just a quickie from me.... I'm into double digits.. 99 days until my due date today (although I really only have 89 days until my c/s) but now I'm on the downward side of things and very soon I'll be in the 3rd trimester. Where did that time go???
