So me and baby are fine.. Doc sent me home with contractions 3 min apart. She said basically she doesn't want to do a vaginal delivery. Having a c section is the last thing I ever thought of. He's not huge yet.. I have very wide hips.. She is just more comfortable with a c section.. There's no medical reason to go to have a c section.. So upset
Well I have news. My blood pressure was high today at my doctors appointment and they checked me. Said I was 2cm dilated and 70% effaced! I'm at L&D to be monitored, if my blood pressure doesn't go down, I'll be induced. If it goes down, I'll be going home. But 2cm and 70% effaced?! WOOHOO! Just so grateful to make progress!
Forgive me if this offends anyone but is it just me or does it seem like doctors are so quick to jump to c-sections these days? Even my midwife at 30 weeks said if my baby doesn’t turn (he’s transverse) I’ll have to have a c-section. Which of course put so many thoughts in my mind that I didn’t necessarily need because I still have ten weeks. I just don’t get it I guess. Technically we can go to 42 weeks.
Next child Speaking to my partner tonight about having our next child i ideally don't want another for a few years yet but he turned around and said only on one condition you have a c section ( i got a 3rd degree tear with Oliver) I actually don't want a c section but he said he won't have another child otherwise am I being unfair ? I loved my birth with Oliver i loved that feeling him being placed on me, but he said if I don't have a c section the next baby won't be with him :(
Well my Dr had to go do a c section right after she was done with me so she said next week she will do another ultrasound to check the babys weight and length since she didn't have time today. I'm dilated half a cm and they did the strep b test! She said shes just going to keep an eye on my blood pressure. I go back next Friday! It's getting close!
