waiting on a c/s

jac*n*abe · July 2010

Well, after talking more to our doctor earlier and weighing the risks and benefits of attempting the natural delivery versus a cesarean, we have decided on the cesarean. With how big the baby is measuring and all, my doctor highly recommended the c/s. Abe and I didn't feel comfortable risking the baby getting stuck or injured and I just couldn't live with myself if anything terrible were to happen. I feel like we're making the best decision for our baby and though it's obviously not what we'd hoped or prepared for, that's okay.

So, hopefully in about two hours we'll finally be meeting our son or daughter!!! I am pretty tired and was pretty emotional earlier but I am more excited than anything

Abe is already in his scrubs and the hotness is a great distraction - haha. I hope to update sometime tomorrow! Hope y'all have a great evening.

I'm sure you guys made the best decision! I bet you can't wait to meet your little one. I can't wait to hear about it. In the mean time, enjoy your time with your hottie!

I'll be thinking about you! I think that your attitude is so great, even though this isn't what you pictured. I can't believe in a few hours you're going to be holding your little one!!

praying for you! What a wonderful attitude you have about this. This baby will have two great parents!!!

Praying BC gets here so soon and you are both comfortable and have a wonderful time bonding.

If it is any help hearing, my c/s went super smooth. I was able to BF within about 1/2 hr of delivery. As soon as they sewed me up and started to wheel me out of the OR Leah was in my arms, so I don't feel like I missed bonding with her like I've heard others say that have had an emergency c-section. I felt completely with it and remember the whole thing and was even talking and laughing with the dr and staff as they were doing the c/s. All that to say that when you don't know any different your birth experience will be perfect for you, DH, and your baby.

So can't wait to hear all about him or her!!!! Oh and they thought Leah was enormous too and she was only 8lbs 3 oz.

Oh, Jac! EYES ON THE PRIZE, lady!!!!!

How exciting for you!!! Sending lots of T&Ps! Can't wait to see pics of your gorgeous LO!!!!

fruitcakes · July 2010

YAY Jac!!!! I'm tearing up just thinking about you guys tonight! You're all in my t&ps!

MommaMcG · July 2010

Yay, not much longer to BC arrives! No matter the method, you are doing what's best for both of you. And that's what matters. My best friend had a 10 pound 5 ounce baby, and she also had a c/s. She was glad she did!

ukannie · July 2010

T&P's. I'm so excited for you, can't wait to see pics of your LO.

HitchedinIN · July 2010

Good luck Jac! Great attitude! BC will be here so soon. Thinking of you , momma!

mandyallcorn · July 2010

So exciting - you'll have that baby in your arms so soon!

T&P for a quick and easy delivery and recovery.

eclaires · July 2010

Can't wait to hear all the details!

You'll be fine w/ the c/s and my experience was great. Immediately after Jackson was out, he and Jeff sat right next to me while they sewed me up and I held him right after that. Then I BF'd immediately as well.

And truly, after having a big baby (that they had no clue was huge), I wish I hadn't had to do both (labor for 30+ hours and then have a c/s).

FinallyMrsBMW · July 2010

I'm praying that your c/s goes well! I'm so excited that you get to meet your LO soon!!

lnross · July 2010

Lots of good thoughts and prayers coming your way. Can't wait to hear all about little BC!

manda429 · July 2010

you know, I think that's a good call. I had an induction, a 20 hour labor and then a c-section. I was so wiped and the recovery I think was a lot harder because of the combination of the labor and then c-section.

I hope everything goes really! Thinking of you!!!

beccabrad · July 2010

Oh how exciting...c/s aren't that bad and the instant baby w/out all that work of pushing is nice. And just think you get to keep your girly bits in tact!

I hope all goes smoothly! Thinking of you.

SusieDMB · July 2010

Sounds like a smart decision. I would hate for you to have to go through labor and then end up w/the same result. Can't wait to see pics!

sugarplumwife · July 2010

Can't wait to get updates. Best of luck to you and Abe. Lots of thoughts and prayers coming your way.

inkygirl · July 2010

Continuing to pray for you Jac! Lots of love to you all!

Ditto this! Good luck Jac...you are so close! Can't wait to find out if BC is a boy or a girl - thank you for making this fun for us!

CFCND07 · July 2010

Saying a prayer tonight, Jac! Hope you're holding your little one soon and I hope you enjoy your sweet delivery day surprise!

Val&B0604 · July 2010

I just popped on to see if there were any updates. Sending thoughts your way for a smooth delivery.

gizmo909 · July 2010

Good luck and I'll be praying for you! I know this isn't how you pictured everything going, but when does anything go according to plan?!?! I never considered having a c/s and that's exactly what I got!

Can't wait for the update!
