do you think they will induce me?

Question

Okay, i have had a rough pregnancy from the beginning.. I have always been stressed & had a hard time gaining weight they would always hook me up to IV's cause i was so sick.. ( my b*f left me 4 days after we found out, moved outta the house forcing me to move home with my parents n my mom does daycare.. ssooo im pretty stressed.. I also lost my job when i was 13 weeks cause i was always sick.. = no mooney for me . ) Well I have been 1 cm dialated for 2 weeks now.. And i have just been having such bad back pains that i cant sleep @ night @ all.. Im lucky if i get 2 hours.. And its getting hard to eat stuff & not feeling like crap afterwards..

I have had a hard time breathing n moving around. My stomache is soo sore i dont know why? People say cause its stretched but it is reallly bad that i cant move. I am also getting very very depressed again that i am in tears every day again.. I really dont think i can take it anymore ..

Do you think maybe my doctor will induce me?

I feel like crap 24*7 .. i cant even remember the last time i smiled.. im really afraid to go into postnatual depression..
& i havent talked to the father since i was 16 weeks.. but wants to be there in the hospital when i do go into labor..


i am 37 weeks pregnant..

Answer 1

I think the first thing a Dr will do is try and to get you happy again. please talk to him, it is not uncommon to have depression before you even have the baby, and if you do then you are at an increased risk of post baby depression which could be harmful to your baby, so get treatment for that first. After you do that most of your aches should go away, depression can cause a lot of unnecessary pain. So, no, I don't think the Dr will induce they generally only do that if there is a medical reason that the baby is in danger (or you are in danger). I am going to add a personal opinion here as well, NO NO NO that jerk has no right to be there for the birth if he doesn't plan on being there for you now or after the baby is born. He is nothing more than a sperm donor if he left you because of your pregnancy. Good luck. I will be thinking of you!

Your physical symptoms are pretty common, actually. The misery most women experience at the end of the pregnancy can actually be beneficial-- it can be a motivation to endure the fear, the intensity and discomfort, of childbirth! I'm not trying to be insensitive and tell you to just "suck it up", but being in pain and uncomfortable is probably not going to be enough reason for a doctor to decide to induce your labor. Especially not at 37 weeks, when your baby still has quite a bit of maturing to do, and weight to put on in these last several weeks. If you were right at 40 weeks, perhaps, but not at 37.

Birth outcomes are best when the baby is allowed to come in its own time. Induction carries many risks in and of itself; the medications used, the complications that can (and often do) arise from the use of the meds, and the possibility always exists that the baby just isn't physically ready to be born yet! It's possible to see symptoms of prematurity in an otherwise healthy 38-week newborn, when labor is induced. It's not worth 2 or 3 (or more!) weeks in the NICU, to skate out of those last 2 or 3 weeks of pregnancy, when your baby is growing and maturing in very important ways.

In the meantime, eat small meals to avoid digestive discomfort, take lots of warm baths to relax and de-stress, sleep whenever and *where*ever you can (even if it's in the living room recliner!), and try to get some mild exercise daily to help ease the discomforts you're having. Walking is almost always recommended. :)

Best of luck, and congratulations! You will have forgotten all of this pretty effectively once your precious baby arrives!

It really all depends on your doctor. At 37 weeks you are far along enough to have a healthy baby but some doctors won't induce until you are 40 weeks or more. You should talk with your doctor at your next visit and make your feelings known. As far as postpartum depression goes there are many safe medications that they can put you on as soon as you deliver. It is better to treat it before it gets worse. I would reconsider having the father there while you are in labor. He doesn't sound like he has been supportive of you or the baby. At least wait until you have delivered to call him into the hospital. Being stressed while you are in labor can delay the process. I hope you find some support for yourself. Don't be ashamed to ask for help because it is normal to need it.

Answer 4

Most Doctors do not have a problem with inductions after you are 38 wks along (I am being induced at 38wks and 2days). I would tell your Doctor how you are feeling and how stressed out and depressed you are becoming and see if that will motivate him into an induction. I sure hope that you can make it thru til you give birth.. I know it sucks and hurts. Depression is nothing to play around with especially with a baby. As for the father.. do you really need to have him there to stress you out more.. if he can not be there for you the whole time.. then he does not need to be there when the baby is born. You make sure that he pays for child support also. I think it is very childish for grown men to act that way. Good luck and take care of yourself.

Answer 5

i think that the doctor will tell you to wait around another week but talk to your doctor about how you are feeling he should understand because explaining it to your doctor of how crappy you feel not sleeping and not eating is all a problem and he should be able to advance things since its a health problem situation and as far as the father goes if he hasnt attempted to see you or be there so far dont let him in during delivery wait until the baby is born so it doesnt add to the stress that you already have that he caused in the first place and if he gripes then tell him if he wasnt so selfish in leaving after you told him you were pregnant maybe you wouldnt be so selfish and let him be there but everything you hate about this pregnancy falls back on him and i wish you the best

Answer 6

whther or not they induce is your doctor's decision. everyone is different. as far as the father of your child being in the delivery room, i would say hell no. if he couldn't be there to support you through all this, why should he be there when the hard stuff is over and the miracle takes place? maybe you should try getting up and walking around for a few minutes every hour, or try cleaning the house, that always works! Good Luck!

Answer 7

wow seems like your really having a hard time right now .i am also pregnant (25)wks. the most important thing right now is to stay calm because your little baby feels everything. i don't know your complete situation with you ex but if this guy would just leave you like this at the time you needed him most maybe your better without him.. you deserve better. i also had a hard pregnancy with my first child she is 4 yrs. now and they induced me , i had high blood pressure and was hospitalized twice. they called if severe toxemia. i don't know if you have that ? but they could possibly induce you soon if your having so many problems .i was extremely depressed to i gained 100 lbs that pregnancy!!!! but trust me girl things will get better. it will all be worth it when you hold that little angel in your arms, you will be gaining a new bets friend to share every thing with. congratulations on your baby and i hope thing get better for you. keep your head up !

Answer 8

You can get induced if you are over a week. You can also get induced if your water breaks and the contractions do not start up on their own within like an hour or 2.

Answer 9

they might because of how you are feeling but if they dont enjoy the you time you have now.
