Am I selfish?
So had another growth scan yesterday and (not so) little man is doing great. Measuring 6 and a half pounds and everything looks fine. My doctor then started discussing labour with me and told me it's hospital policy not to let women go more than 10 days over due. He asked how comfortable I was with that and I told him the truth. That I'm terrified of going too far over and having something happen like a cord accident. He offered to do an internal exam at 39 weeks to see if he could get things started. Of course I want him to stay put as long as possible but I'm also terrified of making it this far and having something happen at the final hurdle. Would I be selfish for taking him up on this offer? I mean there'd be no guarantee that I could be induced at that stage anyways but is it wrong to even think about the possibility?
I know how you feel and feel the same way! If she can come at out 38 weeks, I'd be happy. I sooo want her to come on her own, but terrified of a still birth close or after 40 weeks. I'm hoping I go into labor on my own but when we get closer I will discuss risks and benefits with my ob and my high risk. I start fetal monitoring at 33 weeks so they would know hopefully if something isn't right.
Yes I would. 39 weeks is now considered the new "full term" and a spot where many providers may offer to help things along if you're not in labor yet. (If there are medical concerns for you or baby they would offer induction sooner though). Luckily a healthy growing boy is not a medical concern! :-)
Not at all. Tbh now they say a full term baby is 37 weeks. So 39 wouldn't hurt. I went into labor with my last baby at 38 weeks and a few days and he was fine. I totally feel ya about the whole accident thing it freaks me out as well, it's horrible and never never wanna go through that. I think I would loose it and commit myself. So in my opinion I would do it.
It happened....?
2.5 years and today was the day he heard me fart. I thought I could crop dust him, but it came out full force. He looked at me and busted out laughing. ?
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
What would you do? I feel so stupidly selfish if I choose to be induced because I want my boy to come when he is ready, but I am also feeling selfish stressing him out because everything going on and how stressed I am. So do I continue to stress him out or do I get induced and deal with this and let him be? Or will he be okay? I've been up all night contracting on and off but could it be from my nerves?
I need help!!! Something is wrong with my dog and I have no money or job to take him to the vet. I think hes dying idk
Not only has he not responded, now I have to sit here worrying if something happened 😣😒
If it's any reassurance my son came on his own because he was at risk for still birth. It's amazing what the body will do. Baby released stress hormones and my body responded by going into labor. You can be assured a little that your body is trying to do what is absolutely best for baby. My son came just 1 day shy of 39 weeks and he is more healthy than some "full term" babies.
