Hello so! First I’m going to be 19 weeks on wed I’m due sept 28th this is my 3rd baby! When I was 7 weeks pregnant I had a hemorrhagic stroke but the baby was good! Thank god my miracle baby!

So my first ob appointment was scheduled for when I was 10 weeks which ended up being perfect because it was right when I finally got out of the hospital! Ultrasound was great, lots of blood work. Told my ob about the stroke and now my recent brain disease diagnosis (I have a cavernoma which is a group of arteries that can bleed into your brain it’s very close to my brain stem) my neuro said I shouldn’t go into labor, my ob agreed and said since my other two kids were born at 37 weeks we would schedule my csections for then!

Fast forward to seeing the high risk ob. Told him everything the neuro and hospital said. He said neuros don’t know babies I can go till 39 weeks!

So I go back to my ob at 14 weeks and I’m diagnosed with Sinus Tachycardia my heart rate resting is 111 beat a minute, but my blood pressure is good. I go back at 17 weeks and we ask a bunch of questions about the tachycardia and delivering and talk about how any of the heart meds that I could be given interact poorly with my brain disease! And now all of a sudden my ob says it’s ok for me to deliver at 39 weeks WTF!!

So me and my hubby leave and we are talking about our options. We know what the neuro said, the contractions would put too much stress on my brain. So now when we go back. He’s demanding I deliver at 37 weeks! It’s the safest thing for me and baby. Neither of my other kids were small 8lbs 15oz was my first and my second was 7lbs 13oz both at 37 weeks! Sorry this is so long. I’m just pissed
