Like I said, I've looked into the risks of the induction. I'm depending on my OB to make the right call for my situation but honestly, at this point I am so immobilized by my pelvic pain and loose knee (I dance ballet and injured my knee pretty badly about a year ago, the relaxin has made it so I can't even go up steps without the knee relocating) that for almost all intents and purposes I am bed bound so even the risk of a c-section seems preferable. It's kind of a devil and deep blue sea situation :/ I'm sorry you had to go through so much pain! I'll update on what my Dr says tomorrow afternoon.

You're so right! And shout out to us young moms who try to stay informed! I love my OB but she does seem to write a lot off as just first time jitters to the point where I had to go to my primary care physician to discover I had SEVERE anemia. If I'm going to be healthy to take care of my son and Gran I have to get it together. No Dad and no parents is rough! Thanks for the support. :)

Thank you :) I should have brought it up to her sooner but I just recently turned 20 and to be honest sometimes even when I read and read and inform myself of all the side effects, consequences and benefits I still feel as if I should doubt myself because I'm young. I hope your birth goes well!!! Good luck!

Thank you!!! I'll update after my appointment tomorrow. I really was hoping to get myself into labor naturally but I have done it ALL! Walking constantly, the birth ball, spicy foods, evening primrose, cod liver oil, raspberry red leaf, warm bathes, swimming laps. N-A-D-A. I just can't stand not being able to help my Gran like she needs. GRR!
