They are inducing my daughter in law and none of this makes sense

She is 39 weeks and they are inducing because the baby was on the small side and felt he would grow faster outside the womb?????? WTF

This was a week ago, so this is a planned induction.

I asked her if she had any blood pressure issues or other issues, she said no.

Now she's at the hospital and they put something into her cervix because it is not effaced. Tomorrow they will start Pitocin.

My cervix was already doing stuff at 38 weeks and all of my kids were born a week late.

My hunch is my DIL is not 39 weeks and that is why her baby is on the small side.

It's from my Plant ID Group. Opium poppy. They only ID one plant at a time per strict rules. The mod says, "This has been identified. I'm turning off comments immediately".

About LeftInTX

Always a Democrat. I can't understand conservatives. I try to understand them, but I can't. They don't make sense. Our country has gone so far right since 1981. I was just an average American who took many Democratic values for granted when Reagan was elected. It was like the rug was pulled out from under our society. Reagan ruined our country.
