Re: waiting to schedule my c-section..
Sorry for both of you that it's not going as you had wanted!
I had to have a c-section for my last pregnancy - DS was breech. I was at the doctor's office for my 40-week check and I hadn't eaten, so she sent me down to registration to get admitted. I was by myself at the time, and by the time I got down there, I just started bawling. The lady at the registration desk called a nun to come sit with me while I waited for them to take me back and for my family to get there... It was a little crazy, needless to say.
But, the surgery went just fine, and baby was delivered within 20 minutes, which was amazingly fast compared to having gone through 22 hours of labor with my first! It wasn't my first choice, and I was totally freaking out about it, but it turned out there was no need to get myself all worked up over it.
This time around, I elected to get a c-section (mainly because I didn't want to chance having to go through labor just to turn around and get one anyway - and then I found out I have GD, so it's probably better anyway). I'm much more at ease with it this time around...
GL to you both, though! I know how stressful it can be...
