Feeling like an awful mother...go ahead and flame me!

Had my 34 wk appt today with high risk.  Last week we spoke about sectioning the baby at 37 wks...today he wants to wait till 38.  Although I know that its best to wait (just to make sure that everything is fully baked in there), I was really looking forward to having a Mother's Day with my baby in my arms.  After TEN years of waiting for this little guy, this is all that I wanted.  Ok, that was the brat in me...here's the mother... All I really want is for him to come out safe, healthy, and with no NICU time so I'm ready to have him bake a little longer. 

I can't wait to see him!

Everyone is entitled to have their moments! Hang in there, no matter when baby comes out it will be great!

When I was in L&D last week they told me they consider PTL anything before 38 weeks and that at 37 weeks they still want baby to bake longer.

I just scheduled a tentative c-section date for the 26th, and now I'm considering changing it to baby's due date of May 4th. I just hate being able to choose when she will come out, I feel like she should do that on her own.

Wow I didn't realize this had been a ten year journey for you. Big congratulations on your LO and I totally understand your feeling.

Phewwwww!....thanks for not flaming me!  lol

Yes, its been a little over 10 years, 2 miscarriages, what feels like a billion BFNs and many ttc routes to get here...but we're finally at the end of the journey!  You'd think that I'd be satisfied to be sitting where I am with only 4 more weeks to go but it feels like these are going to be the longest 29 days (yes, I already counted! lol) of my life until I can hold him and look into those eyes.

I don't flame u at all! I completely understand and who knows maybe he will just decide to show up!

There is nothing wrong with wanting something, and I know you would ultimately make the right decision and let your little one cook longer.

I also had no idea this was a 10 year journey for you, very happy for you   Your LO will be here before you know it, I promise!

I feel totally guilty about not knowing this - but what is a BFN?

OP--I don't think that is flame-worthy! 10 years is a very long time to wait--glad to hear it is almost over for you!

Don't feel bad. We lost our little guy at 36 weeks two years ago and I had a stroke a few days later. This time around they are inducing me at 37 weeks to ensure that nothing happens again to me or the baby. I'm also obviously high risk. I only have a week and 6 days left but I feel like it's going by soo slow.I can't wait to finally be a mommy after so much heartache!!

I'm totally the opposite. My doctor wants to take baby out at 39w, and for me that is mother's day. I hate the idea and I plan on asking if it can be done a few days before, or even the day after. Not because I want baby out before that day though, just because I don't want to spend my first mothers day being cut open. Ofcourse, there is always the chance LO is going to decide to come at any time and then I wont have any choice in the matter.
