I'm having a scan in two hours to see where baby is positioned, and I am so excited that I can not contain myself. If it wasn't for the fact that I have to fast for the 8 hours before, I'd really be having a great time of it! So I've been keeping myself busy by cleaning and having hubby take a picture of me and my bump at 37 weeks.  Then 37 weeks. Sheesh can you tell I'm tired?  I'll update this thread with pictures from the scan today once we get home! YAY Edit: So we got our ultrasound, but our little one was not really co-operating much. She is head down, and her back is towards my belly button, which they tell me is a good thing, not that it matters since she will be born via c-section on the 18th anyway. The machine said she will be 7lbs +. We didn't get any actual pictures because she was facing away from the sonographer and was NOT willing to turn for her under any circumstances. But we did get a split second shot in the video she gave us that lets us see her cute little chin, perfect little cherub lips and pudgy little cheek. If you look closely you can even see nostrils. She is laying on her side in this picture, and the top of her head is to the right, although you can not see it. We are SO excited.  |

I am just starting to follow your blog and wanted to know why you are getting a c-section. I may have to get one because my baby is in the frank breech position as of last check-up.
By the way, in your picture at 37 weeks...you do NOT look tired. hehe. :)
Our first daughter was a week and a half overdue, when we went in for our induction date they started me on pitocin and cervadil, but we never made progress past a 2 in dilation. At this point many hours had passed and baby was starting to go into distress. It was later discovered (During the c-section) that she was both too large for my pelvis and she had also twisted sideways and had her shoulder stuck against my pelvic bone. The emergency c-section saved both of our lives. Her heart rate had gone waaaay down, while mine had skyrocketed, so we were rushed off to emergency surgery.
This time around, the doctors are sure that I would only have a 10% chance of a VBAC,since my body never dilates even with medication, I agree with them. We'd prefer to have it all planned out and know what is going to happen, and this way we are not terrified as we are rushed into the Operating room.
Sections are NOT as bad as some people make them out to be, at least, by my experience. Good luck and Welcome! :)
