Were having a bit of a insurance crisis and by being induced a week early its going to help us out a great deal. The company my husband works for was sold to another company and the new insurance doesnt start until January 1st. We were originally told out currrent insurance would cover us until the end of the year but it doesnt and we just found out lthis week we completely lost our insurance(worst timing ever!). So we just had to write a big check to be put on Cobra insurance to cover us this month and Im really upset becasue I literally just got done paying my deductable for my previous insurance and I was not expecting to have to write a huge check this month. And so If I have my baby the first few days in January like when Im actually due, then I have to pay my deducable(another huge check) all over again with the new insurance company, so by being induced a week before my due date we wont have to worry about it. And the doctor said its not a problem at all for the baby. So thats why we are doing it. Im really glad too because Im ready for Tess to be here and to get this pregnancy thing over with, Im starting to retain a lot of water which make me nervous. I actually havent been eating as much this past 2 weeks becuase Ive been having such bad reflux problems but I still managed to gain 12 lbs in 10 days The doctor thinks it is probobly a lot of water weight.

Congratulations!! You must be so excited!! I love the name Tess.

Just so you know, I was induced for two of my pregnancies. The first time, I was induced on the 15th and didn't deliver till the 17th.... for my third pregnancy, I was induced one afternoon and delivered the next afternoon, so......it could take a little time depending upon how your body reacts to the meds they use... I don't want to scare you, but I hope your doctor discussed this with you?!

YAY! My Birthday is the 27th

Wow, I didnt know that could happen I guess I just srot of assumed if I was induced it would happen that day and no my doctor didnt tell me that! I think IM the biggest idiot ever when it comes to this whole pregnancy thing. Ive been reading the "what to expect when expecting" book but I only read the chapter that pertains to me at the present, maybe I should read ahead a few chapters this week, lol

I hope that all goes well for you! I was supposed to be born in January and my mothers doctor did the same thing to her, I was born on the 18 of December so that the doctor would not have to be in the hospital at christmas,at least that is my moms take on it! They have a picture of me under their Christmas tree, as I was their little present!

With my first baby I was induced and after 12 hours of being on pit, they sent me home Then a week later they did the sane thing and guess what happened? I was sent home again after 20 hours on the "pit" and stripping the membranes!! A few day's latter I went back in and the third time was a charm, We asked if they would brake my water that time though, I was dealated at 4 and 50% effaced , so they did.
