scheduled c-section

I met with the OB today. My boy is measuring in the 97th percentile. My OB says there's a limit to what they allow to attempt vaginal delivery - 5,000 grams. According to measurements he was 3,900g ten days ago. We talked about options and they said I have two options. 1) try vaginal birth on Week 39 or 2) schedule a c-section on Week 39.

I have cervix issues already (surgery when I was 14) and had bleeding issues with my d&c 2 yrs ago. So the OB and I decided that going right to c-section would allow them to get a big baby out safest. I'm nervous. Good thing two of the OBs said it was the right decision for me and LO.

    Good luck! Is the date scheduled yet?

    The benefit of having a planned c-section is that you know exactly when LO will be born so you can prepare a little bit better and stop wondering when he/she will come. I hope everything works out well for you!

    Surgery is set for 6/8/12 at 10am. I am a control freak by nature so I appreciate the scheduled aspect. But I am fixating a bit on the unknown/scary bits like the epidural, sensation of major surgery while awake, recovery, being able to bond w/ LO...

    I think the planner part of me would like this about a c-section. GL & I can't wait to see pics of your LO!
