April to March

Well I was having an April baby, but will now be having a March baby ;)  I will be having a RCS (after DS's emerg CS), I am TERRIFIED about it, as my first experience was horrible, recovery was horrible, etc.

I cannot believe how quickly time has gone!  Add to that, the stress! lol  Now we are a RCS, I am getting flack from the IL's about the date being close to or on our niece's bday.  I really don't need the anxiety about that, I have enough about the RCS.  I'm going to be asking for a different date, to shut them up.

A part of me is wondering about a VBAC, as this baby is smaller than DS, however, I don't want to end up an ECS again...oh the stress...

Re: April to March

  • I would ignore my inlaws. That is absurd. DS1 was born on my sis in laws anniversary and mine were al upset that that we were ruining her anniversary but guess what she is divorced now so. Also DS2 is due on my nieces bday and my sister couldn't be more thrilled about it. Inlaws are such a pain....bah. Rant over.

  • Wow! People never cease to amaze me. The scheduled date should be the least of your worries! I am having a RCS also, I keep hearing the second one isn't as bad as the first. It's only temporary and then you'll be back to yourself!

  • Yup they are serious.  When we mentioned we would more than likely be doing a RCS, and how it will probably be scheduled a week or two before due date...MIL said "well I hope it's not on the same day as Isabelle's birthday!" "Don't schedule it for the same day!".

    My sister's bday is the 24th, and she's excited that the baby might be coming on the same day!

  • Your inlaws are rediculous! It should not matter when the baby's bday is, get excited that you know exactly when it is!!! I keep looking at my baby as a ticking time bomb. No clue when she will decide to come out!

  • Clearly they don't have enough going on in their lives if this is something they are concerned about

     

  • I'm going to request a few days earlier, at least I tried I guess.  However, as it stands, we are will not be advising anyone as to the day, and we will just phone from the hospital and let them know.

    I don't want to hear about it.  I can try to understand their POV, but let's be realistic, this baby is coming within days of her bday, and bday parties tend to happen on wknds, so either way to me, it doesn't matter about the specific day, we'll always have to work out bday parties, etc. 

    March is just a crazy month in general for birthdays in my family, but my sister, cousin, aunt and nephew are excited to share their days!
