To the finish line--natural induction begins

Well, it has begun...the celebration of full-term (as of Monday). The doctor says to go ahead and start natural induction methods--so mom has an accupuncture appointment and 2 labor induction massages scheduled for this week. She is stocking up on red rasberry tea and evening primrose oil too. Of course--there are two types of exercise she will need to do more of--one is walking, the other, well no comment....We go to get the measurement ultrasound on Wednesday at 10am, then that night mom and dad have a breastfeeding basics class. Then Thursday morning, we find out the details of what happens next. Somewhere in there mom will meet with a perinatal high risk specialist to talk about options for diabetes moms. Mom is pretty scared of chemical induction because of the studies pointing to a link between pitocin inductions and autism--especially in boys. So she is trying everything she can to not have to do that. If it comes down to it and I am just not ready to come, she might choose a scheduled c-section over induction....Who knows, maybe there will be a baby on mothers day if I am ready...if not, it might still be the end of the month. More details on Thursday....
