IUGR baby and being induced at 36 weeks. Happen to anyone else?

baby_2_iugr

I am 36 weeks today (5/20/11) and I'm being scheduled to get induced Wednesday night. Last week they were worried because the baby was transverse. Yesterday they did another sono and found the baby had turned so the head was down but not engaged into the pelvis at all. Wednesday they are going to give me cervadil and then once my cervix is ripe enough they are going to start pitocin. I'm terrified of this whole situation and the fact that a c-section is a possibility with my circumstances. (this is my second baby by the way- first pregnancy went flawlessly but born at 37 weeks naturally-no problems) Anyone else been in this position or have any suggestions?

I will be 37 weeks Tuesday and my little man hasn't dropped either. My Dr isn't worried about it. What exactly is IUGR?

inter uterine growth restriction- the baby has been falling further and further behind through out this pregnancy. It's 3 weeks behind right now. My doctor is worried because the baby has to come out before next weekend because they are worried my uterus will stop working all together. I have to do constant fetal kick counts and I'm being being monitored every couple days to be sure baby is ok until wednesday.
