34 weeks!
we are getting closer..or are we? LOL So I have a big update..I am officially trying for a VBAC! (Vaginal birth after Cesarean). This is something that I had been thinking about for a while and finally decided to talk to my Dr. about it when I was there two weeks ago. Once I found out he was totally on board with it, I started doing my research! I also shared this with some of my friends who have all been incredibly supportive! SO..I went in for my 34 week visit this morning and told the Dr. that I had decided I want to give it a shot! He was excited for me! I'm so lucky to have a Dr. who is open to this! These days most aren't! Soo..we are on Baby Time!! The C-section for August 25th has been canceled =) The only thing is I will have to go into labor all on my own. They will not use any kind of drugs to induce me because this raises your risk for uterine rupture. My Dr. is going to let me go one week past my due date, to give baby M some extra time to come out on his own. Of course If I DON'T go into labor by September 9th, then we will be doing a C-section. I'm really OK with all of these decisions. I feel this is a much better path to be on than heading straight to the operating room. But at the same time I know that if we do end up with a c-section that its not the end of the world! I at least want to be able to say "I gave it a shot!" I'm feeling really good about everything!! So now lets just hope that Baby M got the memo, and will be ready to come out by September 9th! LOL =)
