My Daughter Is Getting Induced in the Morning! Woohoo

[Cindycooks]

Everyone please send up prayer for a safe and easy labor and healthy baby!
At her ultrasound today the baby is at around 8 lbs 11 oz - WOW - and they do not want her waiting. Due date was yesterday. Possible C-Section due to the size of the baby and my daughter is tiny - but tiny women have had big babies! They are going to give it a try and see.

I am beyond excited as you can imagine! The baby is a little girl and her name will be Taylor.

Congrats to you Grandma. I will keep your daughter in my prayers, andCongrats to you Grandma. I will keep your daughter in my prayers, and hope that she is able to deliver with out the c-section.
If she ends up with an emergency c-section. Tell her to relax and take the epidural offered for the c-section. She will still feel them working on her but it won't hurt and when they offer to put her to sleep to take it.

Let us know how it goes

Congratulations! I'll be praying for your daughter!

And FYI, I am one of those small women with big babies. I'm 5'2", 100 pounds (pre-pregnancy) and my first son was 8 lbs, 7 oz. I was also induced. 5 hours of labor and out he came!

I'll pray for the safety and health of your daughter and grandchild!

My ultrasound estimated my baby girl @ 9lbs 6oz and she was 11lbs 2oz! EEK!! I had to have a c-section because my little boy was 8lbs 11oz and got just a little stuck! I LOVED my c-section. I was on my feet much quicker. I walked bent over for 2 weeks after having my little boy, but was upright and moving good after about 5 days after my cesearan. I hope she has a happy peaceful birth! Congrats on the new grandbaby and blessings for your daughter and the baby!

Congrats Grandma Hope all goes well.

Donna: you really loved your c-section? I had an emergency c-section with my first, and it took awhile to feel good again. Was supposed to have a repeat with my second; she was impatient though & came REALLY quickly a day early...had her naturally. I preferred naturally so much more! I felt great the next day

Congrats on the new grandbaby, I am epidural all the way, I was induced with all 3 1st was a diaster (due to health problems) and 2nd and 3rd was a breeze, about 4 hrs labor. I have never wanted a c section but then again I have felt great after the deliveries.
Also Tayor is my 2nd daughters name

Congrats Grandma. I will pray for all to go smooth and all to be well. I am about 5:0 and weigh about 100 lbs. I had two c-sections with my boys, not because I am small, but because their were complications with both. The first one took a while to feel good again and stand up straight and the second went a lot smoother and better. Let us know how everyone is doing.

Congrats and we can't wait to see pics of the new "cheffer"!

 

[ange13]

yeah, Congrats cindy!!!

I'm one of the small ones too, about 5'4" 115lbs and have had 4 babies, all naturally. My smallest was 8# and largest was 9.5!!! and I gained the least amount of weight with her! I thought she'd be small--boy was I wrong.

Can't wait to see the pics!

Congratulations Cindy - how exciting!! Did she end up with a c-section? I had all 3 of mine that way - all big babies 10 lb. 11 oz. boy, 9 lb. 12 oz. boy(born 5 days early) and my daughter at 9 lb 4 oz. (8 days early) - it's a tough recovery and of course my tummy has never quite recovered - but a healthy baby was all I wanted - hope you are enjoying your new granddaughter!!
