Scheduled C-Section
Well we are going to meet our little boy tomorrow morning. I'm scheduled for a c-section due to his size and my high BP issues. My last appt went well, it was really long. We got one last look at him and even got a few more 3D pics. Based on measurements he's well over 9lbs and in the 95% and higher for weight, head/abdomen circumference, and femur length. He's going to be big and long! My BP was still too high even though I've been resting constantly for the past 2 weeks straight. When I was checked my cervix has shortened some, but other than that no more progress. If we were going to induce he said we'd probably wait a while longer and even then there's no guarantee I'd progress. He also said of course the longer we wait the bigger he's going to get. I don't want any emergency situations occuring. I honestly feel good about our decision to go forward with a c-section. Yes I'm scared, yes I'm sad that I couldn't go through with a vag delivery. But honestly, I'm happy that my vag isn't going to be in shreds after delivering this guy. I know my recovery is going to be alot more difficult, but I'm going to have lots of help, so it will all work out in the end. Will update when I can.

ReplyDeleteoh, how exciting!! i think i'm going to be scheduled for a c-section as well -- bubs is breech and it doesn't look like she's going anywhere. i've got an appointment with the OB later today, so i'll know more then.
ReplyDeletewowsers, though -- he's a nice healthy size! i hope you didn't buy too many newborn sized clothes because he may not fit into them for very long!
scheduling a c-section at least means that you don't have to worry about the "when am i going to go into labor?" thing. and yes, it might mean a longer recovery, but if he is a big size & you delivered him naturally, you might have been pretty sore down there anyway, iykwim.
good luck for tomorrow -- can't wait to hear your update! xox
yeah! So very exciting! Congrats, and keep up updated when you are feeling rested.

ReplyDeleteWe tried to get pregnant for a few years in a local clinic. There were no results. We've tried everything possible but nothing. We were recommended to use donor eggs. I knew we have to try herbal made medicine. I was terrified. I didn't know how to go about it and where to begin my search. When my friend recommended me to Dr Itua herbal medicine in Western African. I thought she was joking. I knew nothing about that country and I was afraid with shame I must say I thought it was a little bit...wild? Anyway she convinced me to at least check it out. I've done the research and thought that maybe this really is a good idea. Dr Itua has reasonable prices. Also it has high rates of successful treatments. Plus it uses Natural Herbs. Well I should say I was convinced. I and My Husband give a try and now we can say it was the best decision in our lives. We were trying for so long to have a child and suddenly it all looked so simple. The doctors and staff were so confident and hopeful they projected those feelings on me too. I am so happy to be a mother and eternally thankful to Dr Itua and Lori My Dear Friend. Don’t be afraid and just do it!
