getting today's randoms started so I can AW and whine about my appointment this morning.
My MFM appointment was rescheduled from yesterday due to the snow. I was happy to get in with the other doc that I will see. I only see two of the providers because of two bad experiences during my last pregnancy....
Baby looks good, placenta good, cord good...fluid was the issue with our last pregnancy that cause me two hospitalizations and induction at 37 weeks....fluid good.....whew...
but wait...I'm 32+3....baby is measuring 35 + with an estimated weight of 5lbs 13 oz....I know...I know...this is at best an estimate and can be significantly off...the head is measuring big (DD1 was 14 1/4 cm at birth) but so is the the rest of her....
the kicker is he mentioned risks of baby's measuring 10+lbs at 37 weeks which would lead to a recommendation for c/s by 39 weeks
I don't go back for 4 weeks unless my blood sugar needs to be medicated....and I've been pumped to not be on meds in hopes that I would have my first and only (last baby) chance to not be induced...
my head is already spinning....I feel like if I just wait to see next month, then I'm setting myself up for more freak out because I will be weeks away from having to decide about a c/s.....uhhhhhhhhh
thanks for letting me get this out...clearly I will do more research. luckily we have a really strong birthing community here that I can get some advice from....but when they start talking about risks of nerve damage...it's hard
