Hello everyone, just had my 7 month check up today and bloodsugar workup (hate those things eww) anyways i am not sure if i mentioned already on another post or not that my doctor was talking to me about enducing my pregnancy early (i have very large babys) both my pregnancys before were early (around 34 weeks) and my daughter was about 9 lbs, my son was 10 lbs even. what i don't get right now is that my doctor said he wouldn't enduce until 36 weeks (even knowing i tend to go into labor early, specially knowing that even with early labor my babys are still so large) also what i don't understand is that with my first 2 pregnancys the doctors went by my due date as 36 weeks, this doctor is going by 40 weeks which i am know noticing is normal right? i just am so frustraded right now, i am so worried i am going to have another large baby and if for some reason i don't go early like with the other 2 and he makes me wait for at least my 36th week that the baby is going to be even bigger than my son was and if that is the case they may try to get me to have a C-section I'm just so confused right now about my pregnancy and doctor, i mean i understand they have to wait for the baby to be developed before the enduce, but given my history you think my doctor would listen to me a little more!! IDK maybe i am over reacting about it all, it's just that i am so big already and worried and miserable and it seems like noone cares anywho maybe i should put this in the random post lol it is kind of random

[maddaroze]

o yeah, my due date is supposed to be may 17th, but i am not carrying that long lol

[jerri]

your doctor should listen too you!! he is working for you! they told my sister ,who had the same thing that she must wait! she did for a wile then jsut put her foot down, they took the baby and she ended up weighing 13 lbs!!! that is not healthy!!

[maddaroze]

Wow 13lbs, that poor thing...i think on my next appt i am just gonna let him have it, let him know what the deal is and if he doesn't like well i guess i will find someone else cuz i am large and miserable lol and i so do not want another 10 lbs baby or larger

[blackcat253]

I have BIG babies too! Well not quite 13 lbs but Mel was 10 and I had to go NATURAL with him since we got to the hospital too late to get the epidural! I ripped completely apart sorry so gross! LOL but it took the doctor 2 hours to sew me back together!
I'm SCARED for this one!! I want to be enduced a month early because my belly is already 4cm ABOVE average and growing with each Doc visit! I'm demanding my doc enduce me!

[maddaroze]

My second kid (kenny) was 10 lbs even, my daughter (izabell) was a few ounces shy of 9 lbs, both were born early(33-34 weeks) and natural, i had only 2 stiches after izabell and none after kenny (but i did hemerage), i guess i was lucky as far as that...but being early and already having such large babies worries me, i tried talking to my doctor about it and he said he would enduce me but then this last apt he said he wouldn't even consider doing it till i was at least 36 weeks along Grr (could you imagen how big my baby would be by then) anywho, i would say that my stomach sticks out about 7-9 inches already

Ofcourse I will let you know when I have my baby. But it can last a few days before I finally have some time to post around here. I hope not too long, so I try to post ASAP.

I don't know what cervix mean, because I'm from Holland (I don't know the translate :S). But I'm 2cm dialated, having a few contractions and he or she has dropped a little lower when I went to see my doctor yesterday. She said the baby could come earlier than my due date, and I hope so

[jerri]

thats what i meant,"dialated". wow if you are at 2cm your real close! i know that last weeks are so hard, you just want it to be over and have that beautiful baby in your arms.how dose your daughter feel about a new brother or sister?

[elleandkurt]

jerri, so cervix is the same as dialated? Now I learned something new Anyway, yes I'm very close and I hope it doesn't take to long before he or she will be here. My last week has started and I'm excited to have him or her.
Anna is so far really excited. She kept on asking when the baby will be here, so that she can play. But the thing that worries me is how she will react when the baby is here. I've heard from others that I will have to make a mommy-Anna day to make her feel she's not left out, and we still love her the same. I will follow that advice, but it's going to be hard the first couple of days.

Well, 6 days to go, and I can't wait anymore. I forgot to tell that my doctor said she could come one or two days early, but she definitly doesn't come one week late (she thinks). That gives me hope that I will not have to wait one more week after the baby's due date. Anna came two days early, and I see that this baby will do the same as his/her big sister

How are all the other March/April/May mommies doing?
