[quote=jindc]Op here - I don't have a doula ($$$) but my husband and I have done a lot of work on unmedicated labor including Susan Messina's class and a class about using yoga and massage in labor. He knows that I am going for unmedicated because of the moving around. My doctor told me that once the Cervidil is in, I need to be in bed for an hour but after that can move around as I want - stairs, shower, whatever. I just can't leave the hospital. And she didn't make it seem like she was stretching policy - but that two rounds of Cervidil is everyone's option. I have read a lot about how to get baby to move. I sit in the floor when we watch tv, go for walks, sit on the ball, etc. I obviously know that if he isn't ready, induction isn't ideal but I do respect that my provider has a reason to be concerned about blood pressure and size - even if ultrasounds are off, his head was (my husband has a big head!), which could be preventing him from engaging...in which case we won't know until we try. It's definite not an ideal situation, but I respect weighing the risks and benefits. I'll be past 40 weeks and he will be fine. I have come to terms with the situation not being what I had prepared for. Since my doctor won't be there (she delivers a different day) I don't believe this has anything to do with her convenience but instead not wanting to wonder about my bp first, baby getting even bigger second. I go back Monday for an NST and check, and will have a short discussion about what steps I should take at the hospital to avoid being sectioned. GW doesn't seem to push c-sections and I know my doctor wants me to avoid it.[/quote]
