Well.. I made the last-ditch plea to my Doctor today as I was talking about in , to see if he'd let me try a VBAC (Vaginal Birth After C-Section) to deliver this baby. He said "Absolutely Not". He said there's just simply too much of a risk of something going wrong (Uterine Rupture, causing the baby's death, my death, or both of us). I also haven't dilated anymore, which is another sign that it wouldn't go well. I'm stalled at a 2.
I'm bummed, but I expected that answer. I've always said that it doesn't matter how he gets here, as long as he does safely and that he's healthy. So I guess I'll stick to that. It's just disappointing having to go through a 3rd C-Section. Then, dealing with the recovery. Ugh, I don't even want to think about that.
We "Officially" scheduled the C-Section date today as well. It's set for August 30th, because the hospital will only allow scheduling to be done one week prior to the due date. There's no guarantee I'll make it that far of course, because the closest I've ever gotten to my due date was 15 days before. But, he could surprise us and wait that long.
Anyway.. It's set for August 30th. We check-in at 10:30AM for prepping and all that good stuff. And probably by 12:30-1:00PM, Hunter will have arrived. Yay!
So my last Prenatal appointment is next Wednesday.. Then the following Wednesday is D-Day! Eek! I think I'm prepared. The only thing I may have a problem with is not eating or drinking anything after Midnight on that day. He usually makes me have a snack around 1AM.. lol
::sigh::
