Please share your stories planned induction [80 effaced] [placenta]

Im scheduled to be induced with these guys sometime Wednesday, 3 / 16. I will be 36 weeks. (The induction is because the babies share a placenta and increased risk of two issues long story, but the babies are healthy and doctors think they are currently safer than on the outside to the inside.) Both are head down , and on my last internal exam at 33 weeks I was 2cm dilated, 70-80% effaced and baby was presenting at -1 to 0 station. If my feelings are an indication, I definitely think my cervix e

Had my D u0026 C (miscarriage) [adrenaline] [amp]

The D u0026 C was fine. Turns out I was later that we thought. The doctor said he found the fetus material (not viable, of course). Apparently, I was about 10-11 weeks along. He said natural miscarriage would have been difficult, painful and very messy.

I am still bleeding some (D u0026 C was Thursday), but no physical pain.

Now the adrenaline of nervousness about the surgery and then relieved that it was more is gone, Im very depressed. Im sure normal.

Oh good.

Welcome Alan Trevor:) [lil man] [c section]

My lil man came into the world on Septmeber 6, 2003 at 4:54 p.m. He weighed 0.6 grams and was 19inches 6pd long.

Why am I Ferning so early? [saliva] [microscope]

I am a bit surprised. I have one of these kits saliva microscope (“Maybe Baby”) and I thought, what the hey, I will start testing myself every morning from yesterday (day 2). (I have not bothered to do so early in the piece.) Yesterday I did a little sailing on the test. Today I see a much larger sail. Any ideas on why I so early?

And ferning are just wondering if anyone has heard about this? I heard a respected doctor on the radio a week or two ago and announced that it has just dis

Does this mean I'm close? [dialated] [effaced]

I just got back from the doctor and he said my cervix was 80% effaced and a fingertip dialated but my cervix is still high. Im almost 36 weeks. He said that next week they will strip my membranes. With my last child I never dialated or anything until I went to work. I know that people can be 1-2 centimeters dialated for a week or more, but if I already 80% effaced means that work may be fast approaching? And Im also confused how my cervix is so depleted, if it is still as high. Any advice or ans
