It’s a bit ironic as I stare down my last post in this thread, but we had our 36 week appointment today and wound up with another high blood pressure. That apparently cemented my OB’s decision and I was told they want to induce me after all at 37 weeks. We scheduled the day and time right then and there, even, so official go time is December 5th, and we’ll see from there how long it takes for baby boy to come on out and pick his birthday.
I am still really in shock because all of today felt like a whirlwind. Within about 10 minutes I got to my appointment, had a BP check, and my doctor came in and said yes, we need to take him out next week. Can’t say I’m totally mentally prepared, but I feel some calmness mixed in with the “holy heck” feelings because she at least warned me this could happen ahead of time. But yeah, that’s my big update! Looks like little guy realllllly didn’t want to chance having a Christmas birthday.
ETA: Funny thing is also, I felt him drop into my pelvis/lightening last night lying in bed, so he seems to know it’s time to get ready.
