C-section - Day of Delivery

stdoubled18

Hello,

I'm going in for my 3 hour glucose test next week, I'm sure I have GD again. I had it with my first and my first results came back very high with this second one. My plan for this pregnancy was to try and have a vbac, if I have GD it doesn't seem like I'll be able to do this. I'll probably have to have a C-Section again...so i'll have to be in the hospital a while again. What did people do with their first child when this happened? Did anyone have GD the second time around and decide to have a vbac or just have the c-section? Any insight would be wonderful! Thank you!

Can your SO and family or friends help take care of your first child? That's my plan!

I've never had a c-sec, but I have family in town who can watch the older kids for a day and then after delivery DH watches them when they're out of school.

My mother is coming to stay with DS for my RCS.  I want his routine to stay as normal as possible - daycare, sleeping in his own bed, etc.  I'm sure DH will run home from time to time to put him to bed, drop him off / pick him up from daycare.

I don't know if I have GD (I will tomorrow) but I did have a csection last time. I also want to try got a VBAC. If I can't, and have to have another csection, my mom will watch my daughter during delivery and then my husband will be with her after. I want to disrupt her routine as little as possible. My mom has offered to come and stay in the hospital with me if I have a RCS. Is that an option for you?

My sister is coming to stay at our house while I am in the hospital. She is going to watch DS the day of, after that her and my DH will probably switch off being with DS and being with me and the baby at the hospital.

There is a chance of a RCS for me. But I'm praying for a vbac and that LO will just come on his own. You better believe I'll be doing every trick in the book to bring on labor lol. My MIL will be in town and my mom is living with me(long story). So we will have the help. It's nice. Last time I had bleeding complications and had to be in the hospital for 5 days total. Ugh.

I don't have GD but we are going for a repeat cs with this one and I have no idea what we will do. We have no family in town, DH's parents have disabilities, my folks live in another country. It is really stressing me out. Oh and our hospital doesn't do a nursery bc they say they encourage 'rooming in' yada yada... Don't know if they expect me to jump out of bed to pick up the baby right after surgery or what when MH is away caring for our DD....

I going to try to Vbac this time since my last was emergency c section after all the work. Hopefully everything will go well this time. My parents will be with my daughter since while I will be at the hospital.

Just found out today that I passed the 1 hour GTT. Had GD while pregnant with DD so I was really hoping to keep everything under control his time. I will be having a RCS 11/26, DD with be at school during delivery and DH will go home after school to keep her routine as normal as possible, then return to the hospital with her the next day.
