Baby is doing good. Nice strong heartbeat. I didn't get to listen to it but saw it on the ultrasound screen. They change my due date to March 31. So that puts me at 8 weeks tomorrow not 9 weeks. Which is fine as long as baby is healthy and growing.
He gave me some options for the delivery. I'm not sure what to pick. Told me to go home and think about it that it doesn't have to made right off the bat. I have a few months to decide. I mean baby won't be here til the end of March so plenty of time. I could go for a schedule c-section. Which mean March 24 baby will be here. Or I could try to go naturally. He says I can't really be induced but if I could get 2-3 cm on my own he would break my water and get it going for me. And the last choice is schedule c-section for 39 weeks. And if I don't have baby naturally by then we will go ahead with it.
I'm really not sure what I want to do at the moment. I really want a v-bac it is so much easier to heal from. But he had to scare me with thoughts of uterine rupture. He said it only happens in 1% which isn't such a high risk. But I guess the thought freaks me out. But the thought of being cut open scares me a lot more. I don't want to feel them cut me open and I'm scared the spinal tap won't take. I don't know what to do. What should I do? I guess all I can do is think it over for awhile.
I have read so many success stories on having a v-bac and I want to be one of those. I want to enjoy having my baby. Not feel like it was ripped out of me. Does that make sense? I read this qoute that describes c-sections. "If babies were meant to enter the world through our belly buttons our vagina's would be there." I think c-sections are now being use a convenience and not what it's meant for. At this rate in no time all women will be giving birth through c-sections. Which is sad because a vaginal birth is so much better. And you feel so much more connected to your baby. At least for me that's how I feel.
If anyone has any advice or opinions please leave me a comment.
