Long story short - my u/s and routine ob/gyn appt today showed BIG baby, LOW fluid, so bright and early tomorrow morning Tim and I will show up at the hospital for me to be induced. I am terrified. Truly. Max is doing fine, it’s just too many red flags that my doctor does not feel comfortable letting me continue on my own. So please keep us in your prayers and more specifically please pray that I go naturally tonight, and that Max doesn’t get stuck in the birth canal (his belly is bigger than his head so this could very well happen, ending in a section, which those of you who know me know I am so scared of). Will update hopefully with news of Max’s arrival!

Both my girls were “evicted,” (neither of which ended in a section). It went great for me, both times. Just remind yourself to relax, you’ll be fine.

Candace, just relax. My sections were not bad and I recovered just fine. I think you are in better shape than I am, so you have a step up on the recovery if it ends in a section.

You are in our thoughts and prayers. Loved seeing you last night. You look wonderful. My mother commented on what a beautiful girl you are and also wanted to see Conner. Also, C-sections aren’t so bad but I can understand your fears. Looking forward to meeting Max!
