Ava's due date has changed-

I had a baby appointment and ultrasound today. Ava is 2 lbs 7 ounces now and growing on schedule! During our appointment, my midwife, Machel, Lucas and I discussed labor and delivery options and based on my past history (shoulder dystocia with Emma, a crazy speedy delivery with Nathan and meconium with both) she will induce me at 39 weeks if our little girl doesn't decide to come on her own before that time.

This pushes Ava's estimated time of arrival to around September 7th instead of September 14th.

In efforts to help me obtain a natural and unmedicated birth like I was able to with Emma and Nathan, Machel will start a very slow Pit drip, then shut it off when I reach 5 cm and see if I can progess naturally from there...if not she will break my water etc.

Although the "natural" mom side of me is not excited about any talk of induction, I know it is a responsible medical decision based on my past experience.
