I think it just hit me

I think it just hit me that we're going to have a baby soon. My doctor is starting my internals next week and today we had the eviction talk. Due to my diabetes I can go to 40 weeks and 2 days but that is it! She did mention that if my cervix was not favorable to labor we would try to push it off as long as possible to avoid a cesarean though which was comforting.

That's 3 weeks...holy crap...

  • I know! Crazy it's coming up so fast.  Remember when our LO's were the size of poppy seeds!?  This watermelon size came by faster than I realized!

    Yay for almost outside babies! I'm 39w3d, so I have no more than 3w to go as well. I hope it's less!!

    Ditto. I'm just a couple days off from you (also with GD). My doc said that she wouldn't let me go past my due date, but she doesn't think it will come to that... she thinks I'll be early. Good, since my blood sugars have been soooo difficult to control and baby is getting big.

    I am encouraged by my Dr saying that she wants to avoid a c-section (and induction) if possible, too. Yay for good doctors!

  • Not that I wish I had GD, but I wish I had some kind of better idea as to when LO was coming out lol at my last two appointments, my doc said she fully expected me to go to my due date, if not past because LO was so high up, -4, not dilated and not effaced at all.  Greaaaatt....

  • Same here. And because of GD my doctor won't let me go past 41 weeks. But we'll have a better idea after my upcoming ultrasound next week.

    I am just so pleased with my doctor. I was worried because I didn't do any OB interviews, just picked one and went with it. She's been great about the GD and reassuring me that a natural birth is still totally possible, and letting nature decide what happens while making sure the baby is healthy.
