I left my Dr. appt today feeling very frustrated, emotional and irritated.  I’m not even OVER-DUE and she brings up being induced tomorrow (again).  And having a non-stress test on the baby today.  With no reason given! Everything is fine.  Heart beat is 132, he’s moving, last ultra sound showed plenty of fluid, size good etc… She’s beginning to show me she’s a typical doctor, and trying to use scare tactics to get me to allow inducement.  She’s leaving Sat through the 5th of Sept, she probably wants to induce for her reasons (maybe its a money thing?!).  Being induced should be for a medical reason, NOT for convenience!  And why stress test when I’m not even OVER-DUE!?

After discussing with Brian and a few people we decided to NOT do the test today.  After all she never gave a reason.  She even told the hospital “post dates” and at the end boarder line gestational diabetes (which I’ve been keeping UNDER control this whole time)  is why I was coming in.  So, we didn’t see a NEED to go in for unnecessary testing.  

I’m regretting not looking into a midwife and birthing at home or a birth center.  I called and talked to two today.  One lady took so much time to explain things to me and really was helpful.  She’s looking into the insurance side of things and will get back to me soon as far as how that works this close to delivery if we were to go that route.  I’m really wanting to, but frustrated I didn’t look into it sooner, because I’m not sure it will work out insurance wise!  

I KNOW GOD has this baby and me in HIS hands and that I don’t have to worry.  All will work out.  I’m just having some regrets today and wishing I had listened to myself sooner in this pregnancy!
