Today I went to the doctor, I'm on the every two weeks visits now. Everything is looking fine, babies heart beat is normal, blood pressure is normal, weight gain... well thats been high from the start so thats nothing new. But since Im getting closer to the end the talk of delivery has started to come up more now.
Dont get me wrong, I have thought about it a lot, but i kind of alwaysp knew it would take some time to get to that point, so I havent put too much thought into everything. Lets be honest here, if I did I probably would have been freaking out much more this whole pregnancy. haha
Anywho, I dont have a "birth plan" if you will, but I kind of just have the mentality that the doctor will tell me whats the safest and best way to do things, and thats what I will do.
At my 20 week check up/ ultra sound I was told my placenta is looking pretty low and its just something we would have to keep on eye on as we go down the road. Now that its getting closer its come up again. In two weeks I will go in for another ultra sound to check out the placenta and make sure everything is normal there. If it isnt, then its looking like a c-section will be scheduled. If its fine, then we will just go on like normal.
THEN, I will have another ultra sound around 37 weeks to check the babies weight. Since my faimly history isnt exactly working in my favor (big babies), I could possibly have a few different things happen. 1 could be induced early, but that comes with its own set of risks (not sounding too wonderful to me) or 2. have a c-section. My doctor is very good at making me relaxed about all of the options, so like I said, I'm not freaking out too much... yet. He told me he wouldnt let me have a normal delivery with a 9 +lbs. baby, because there are all kinds of problems that can come from that.
So at this point, I feel very good about everything. And hey, if I do have a c-section thats kind of like picking the birthday! 10-11-12 anyone?! how cool would that be?!
