Asking for prayers

Ashley

Well, according to my clinic, I'm 37 weeks today. They went by the measurements of my first ultrasound to give me an estimate of how far long I was instead of by my last period. I've been trying to tell them this whole time that I'm farther than what they say, and I guess they finally listened to me. They had me to go the hospital this morning for another measurement ultrasound, and the baby is measuring 39 weeks & 2 days, some measurements said 40 weeks & 1 day, and she's breeched. Her head is still in my right rib. And she's already measuring over 8lbs.

Well, I go back to my clinic in an hour and hopefully they'll schedule my c-section in the next couple of days, instead of next Thursday as they planned before. I really don't want my body to throw itself into labor before I actually go in and complicate things. I have a history of big babies as is, they called it macrosomia. My last baby was 10.15lbs and I carried him the whole 40 weeks. He got stuck in my pelvic, turned purple and black then finally slipped out. Wasn't breathing or crying, and only 1 nurse bothered to work with him out of 6 nurses in the room. She noticed he wouldn't move his left arm and she had him x-rayed. His left collar bone had a fracture in it, and she said that was the only thing that saved his life. I don't want to go through that again, and I sure don't want another child to suffer like that again.

I'm just asking for prayers that things go smoothly with no complications.

Sorry so long.
