36 weeks & huge


Something about this shirt makes me look really gigantic this week. So far as I can tell, Seth hasn't changed his position significantly yet. I am getting really discouraged and freaked out about having a C section. I know it's not that big of a deal - more than 30% of babies born in the U.S. come out that way... but it is NOT what I saw happening for myself. I guess what freaks me out the most is the fear that after having one I would be automatically doomed to have another for baby #2 (assuming there will be baby #2). That is something I suppose I will have to discuss with Dr. H on Thursday. If he's not supportive of me trying to have a VBAC then I'll just have to find a new doctor, and I really hate that thought as well. Ugh. Better quit counting my chickens before they hatch, it's totally stressing me out. It is going to be a LONG week.

Update: I found this website/link about VBAC in Spokane, that makes me feel a little better! ICAN.ORG

You look beautiful. Just your belly looks huge. I showed my mom your picture too and she got a little teary over us and our babies.
I am so nervous for you. I think about you and pray for you all the time. I want so badly for you to be able to have the labor experience you were planning on. I am counting down the minutes until Thursday too. I'm glad you took the day off yesterday. It's well-deserved. I hope you're feeling better today and that the next couple of days go by quickly for you and that the end result is the good news that Seth has flipped on his own.
You're very wise to try to take it one day at a time. It's a hard thing not to be in control.
I love you. I'm sorry you have to go through all the extra stress and worry. Anxiously awaiting the verdict...
Hugs.
