02-10-2009 - Total shock

My mood while writing this blog:
OMG

So today I went for another U/S just to check and make sure everything was ok for my induction. I think this is my third one this month. Any ways, Logan looks amazing. He was practicing his breathing, stomach and bladder look great, brain looks great, heart looks amazing. The women then began to measure everything. When we were done she looked at me with this strange look and asked me. How big were your other babies? I told her and she said, well I guess he just wanted to beat his sisters. When I asked how big he was she said at least 10 - 10 1/2 lbs give or take an extra 3/4 of a pound. (If you do the math that means he's a pound short of both his sisters combined.) Then we had to meet with the OB and she was very kind but explained to me that the reason I have been contracting without any progress is because he is so large and most likely his shoulders are keeping me from proggressing. She then explained that if I were to deliver vaginally this could cause him to break his shoulders and or other bones in his tiny body. So now they have scheduled me for a c-section Tuesday morning. I am so scared..... I have never had one and I am petrified. Today for some reason was devistating to me. I keep crying and trying to focus but I just can't. This is soooo diffrent to me. I don't understand any of it. I am glad he's doing great but I don't know if I can handle this. Why? I know other mothers have c-sections everyday but I dont know if I can get through this. They instructed the hospital that if I go into Labor early I have to have an emergency section. So I don't have a choice either way. Please keep me in your prayers. Thanks ahead of time.

You will be fine and your son will be fine! At least you know this far in advance and can prepare mentally for the day. You're meeting your baby boy on Tuesday! How exciting! I've always heard that ultrasounds can be off in terms of weight, but the doctors know best, so just hang in there and get some massages and a mani/pedi or something else relaxing before Tuesday! :o)

Hey Hun, You know I know exactly how you feel! I sobbed when they told me I'd have a csection. I knew I had to have it, and in truth with no progress I was a bit worried and had said to my BF if they are going to do it lets do it sooner rather than let me labor another 13 hours. I even asked my doctor to knock me out, I was so scared I had no interest in being awake for the big event...He said no, they would only put me to sleep if something went wrong, which scared me even more because I'd be awake to know something went wrong. I was in sheer panic and I suffer from panic attacks. I had one on the table..but I had such a great team that they got me through it. The whole thing lasts about 30 minutes, and though I still struggle with the fact that I 'missed' Bela being born, the pain free part is very nice. You seem to be like me, it's kinda like having a first baby and you don't know what to expect..you and logan will be fine. Try to stay positive and smile, you know when he is coming now :o) Holy big baby..will you skip all the newborn clothes and diapers? I can't remember what I used with Triston, my 10 pounder!! That is one healthy boy you have been cooking, GREAT JOB MOMMA!!! :o) and GOOD LUCK!!

Hi there, you must be feeling very apprehensive. I had to have an emergency c-section after being in induced labour for 25 hours. I, too, was scared and crying because I didn't know what to expect. But in all honesty, it's fine. I was sore for a couple of days but I have been up on my feet and doing all the usual things except for driving. I'm surprised because I thought I would be laid up for longer. It's been 10 days since the c-section and apart from little niggly pains near my wound I feel fantastic (tired but fantastic hehe). All the best and try not to worry too much. Not long til you see your little fella.

You will be ok. Just make sure you get plenty of rest & stay on top of your pain meds. I'm about to have my 3rd Csection and I'm nervous too! Just remember that they are trying to do what's best for you & baby. Keep us posted.

wow, aleast that explains ALOT! how could they not have picked up on that previously??? why are they waiting till tuesday? anyway, i really feel for you, my dear friend just had her first baby 5mths ago by c - section and she is still devastated about not going naturally and got PND and counselling for it. i know this is not helpful now, i am only telling you this because it is completely in your right to be scared and unhappy about something that is out of your control. tell the doctors/ob how you feel so that they can be more sensitive to your feelings/fears through the process of the c - section. my friend thinks that it would have been more helpful to her if someone took more photos of everything because she had to be heavily drugged (due to severe pre - eclampsia) and doesn't remember anything about the day of his birth. try and speak to other people that have had c - sections so you can get a good idea of what to expect. they may be able to take away some of your fears. giving you a big cyber hug and wishing you all the best on tuesday. atleast you know your definately going to have logan in your arms by then!

I hope everything goes well for you and your baby!! It sounds scary. When I was at the hospital there was talk about an emergency c-section but I didn't have to have one. I pray that you and the baby will be okay.

Wow, you have a big boy in there. I can't say that I understand what you are going through, but I know you are a strong woman and will get through it. I'll be praying for you!
