Tough Choice
Okay I'm currently due the 24th of April. I am scheduled for a C-section on the 25th of April. This baby was supposed to be my Vbac but so far has been stubborn and has not made hardly any signs of making his appearance before the 24th other than dropping and a few cramps. I started to prepare myself for a csection on the 25th alittle Over a week ago. I was excited this that this would be my last week at work then I finally get to meet my baby boy. Went to my doctor's appointment on the 18th of April to only find out if my cervix is still closed but it's starting to get soft. My doctor then informed me that if I wanted and felt up to it I can push my c-section back a week and see if he comes. My husband is concerned about the risks with a vbac if we wait another week since the baby has been measuring 2 weeks ahead for over the last month. measurements were done via ultrasound and measurements of my belly. so needless to say my husband wants me to do whatever one has the least risk on me and the baby. Ive been impatiently waiting for this little guy to arrive and I don't really want to go back to work another week. I also was really hoping my husband and I would get to experience the Vbac since my first 10 years ago was a emergency csection. On the other hand I can't help but ask my self would I be prolonging the ever none avoidable csection. My doctor said they will have to do another ultrasound if I push it back to monitor the baby's movement, breathing, and heart rate to make sure he's good for another week.
Why do decision have to be so tough. Why can't he just come already so I don't have to decide. What if i make the wrong choice and push it back a week and end up in a another emergency c section?
