Ok so this is child number 5 for me. My previous 4 were born vaginally. My youngest was my biggest at 8lbs 8oz. Well this baby is measuring very large. 2 weeks ago at 29weeks 3 days she was measuring 4lbs2oz and two weeks before that only 2lbs9oz. Monday I will have another scan and see how much she is growing (had a scan this past Monday but they didn’t measure her just checked fluid levels and other biophysical profile stuff. Anyway had my OB appointment today and asked about a possible tentative delivery date as my mfm dr is recommending 37-38 weeks for delivery. Well we have a tentative date of July 22 but then she proceeded to mention scheduling surgery and that would be her surgery day anyway and when I asked about getting my tubes tied too she said as long as my insurance covers surgical sterilization we can just add that to my consent form 😩 granted I’m glad to take care of two things at once I just totally expected to be induced but I guess she’s so big ( >99%tile) they aren’t willing to even attempt a vaginal delivery 🥺 I know a healthy baby is the goal but I’m terrified. I’m terrified of the recovery, I’m terrified of the spinal, I’m terrified it won’t work and I will have to be knocked out, I’m terrified of the sensation of being numbed from the chest down, I’m just terrified in general.
