12 week update (clotting disorder lady)

In case anyone cares, my appt. went really well. Baby is no longer a nlob and is measuring a day ahead of EDD.
After waiting an hour for the doc, she made this whole clotting disorder thing a pretty small non issue. The only that will be obviously different is that I'll get an US at every appt. I'll take that!
I had some major postpartum issuses with DD because of these undiagnosed clotting disorders. I ended up with eclampsia with 2 seizures and a week in the hospital. (Sorry for any triggers) its ridiculously rare to develop eclampsia!!
So she said she was confident in my pregnancy but she wouldn't let me go 40 weeks. She said the latest she'd let me go was 39 and if I didn't go into labor on my own then she would induce, which really bummed me out. DD came on her own time and my labor was barely 7 hours start to finish. I shudder at the thought of an induction. I'm hoping to avoid that!
Otherwise, I'm doing great! Thanks for your concerns and good vibes!!
P.S. I need you all to know how hard it was for me to NOT put my US on here and ask you to guess the gender... From the baby's profile... I'm talking serious self control here y'all

ETA- I'd push a little slower because I tore a ton and I'd like to avoid lots of stitches this time
I've also had full on eclampsia with a grand mal seizure. I'd have to say I have major PTSD from it. I had major anxiety attacks for several years afterward. I completely understand why you'd be anxious!

@aessary03 You are the only person I've ever (met?) talked to that has had eclampsia. I would love to talk to you and talk about our stories. Maybe we can support each other? I developed PTSD as well and have been dealing with panic attacks for three years now. Over the last year, they have declined drastically but with this pregnancy, I'm terrified they'll come back.
Thank you all so much for your support and well wishes!! I love this group!
