I’m being induced on the 24th because of preeclampsia

I'm 41w and some change and getting induced at 42 weeks. I really didn't want to but they said im getting too far along 😅

[saracraven]

I had cervical cancer I'm April had a leep and cone now pregnant due in April there inducing me end march because they don't want to have to cut me or tear it can cause cancer to come back ibguess it is my 5th pregnancy will be my 5th labor they said they can just break my water

I have PCOS and I recently went to get some tests done but the doctor said come back again...I'm scared that she will do a pelvic exam. I'm 16. Do you think for PCOS the doctor will do a pelvic exam?

[yazminolvera]

Do you think getting induce because baby is measuring two weeks bigger through fundal height is a good reason? I’m currently 36 weeks but baby is measuring 38 weeks. I’m attempting a vbac so they said they would induce me anyway at 40 + 1 day if I went over because of the risks.

one of my boobs has grown on the mixed pill, along with my nipples massively increasing in size, is this normal and will this go away if i stop taking the pill?
