Im so not looking forward to tomorrow morning. I have to go get my amnio done to check Kellan's lungs at 8am. Then wait around all day to see if they are going to go through with the c-section that Im scheduled for on Friday. Then if his lungs are ok , they will call me sometime Thursday and tell me to go ahead and come in on Friday.
Im so nervous about two things -a- that this amnio is going to hurt. I dont do pain very well. -b- that its going to come back that his lungs arent ok enough to go through the c-section.
The OB said usually only 25 percent of the amnio that they do at this point (37weeks) come back not mature enough. So its still a 75 percent chance right?
Im in so much pain right now, all I want to do is lay down and go to sleep but my mind is racing!
Re: Nervous about tomorrow morning
Wow.. we have the exact same schedule. Amnio at 8:30 tomorrow and C/S Friday 10:30 if lungs are mature. I have been stressing out about the amnio for weeks now- but honestly there are so many babies born way before 37 weeks that are just fine that I am sure that our two 37 weekers' lungs will be fully developed. Good luck and try to get some sleep. I still haven't packed my bags yet- so I am trying to do that now before I take a nice long warm bath to relax before bed.
Definitely not always true...that's why they have to do the amnio.
OP...good luck tomorrow! I hope all goes well and you are holding your healthy baby on Friday.
