I just got off the phone with my doctor. He was discussing LO with some pediatric surgeons at a level 3 hospital an hour away. They're working on setting up an appointment with me so we can all get together and discuss our birth plan.
The surgeons are pushing for an early birth. 3-5 weeks early, in fact. Since my due date is pretty much in the middle of September, this will mean LO will be arriving in mid-late August. Do I have to switch to the August board or can I stay with you ladies? ![]()

Of course! what's going on with your LO that they want to have you have an early birth?
edit: sorry if I'm prying... just curious, you don't have to answer if you don't want to!
BFP#1 07/01/2004 ~ EDD 03/10/2005 ~ D&C 8/1/2004 @ 5w5d
This, and I'm not due till the 29th so I'm pretty sure I will actually have an October baby, but I'm not planning on going anywhere!
Yay! Thank you! I didn't want to have to make new friends again lol
LO has gastroschisis, a condition where his intestines are on the outside. They want to have him early because there is a higher risk for still born the longer we wait. Going in early, there's about a 10% chance, but it gets higher. At least, that's what they've told me.

Oh yeah, cause after all the BFP stories, the updates, the ultrasounds, the funny posts and the drama-lamas, the FFFC's etc that you have been here with us through, we are gonna toss you out on your ear because your little one has complications and needs to come early /sarcasm.
Of couse you can stay silly! We are here for the long haul.
