Still pregnant...Friday...UGH!

[Eaglevoice]

Just wanted to check in with everyone. I'm still here. 41 weeks and counting...

I woke up this morning in a fouly depressed mood. It's just all I can do to not to sit and bawl.

I am still here. Emotions playing havoc too. See post under this is getting old.

Anyone considering any interventions at this point?? I am considering drinking some good Pinot!!!! LOL!!!

Cheers!!!!!

Unfortunately, we are. We are scheduling a c-section for Tuesday. Being a VBAC I don't feel comfortable with the risk of induction. I have been struggling with this decision for weeks now, knowing I would get here (my c/s w/DD was at 42w 3d) and trying to decide if I'm giving up too early by having a c/s at 42 weeks. This baby is already big like his sister, I don't feel good about pushing for a VBAC too late into pregnancy or with a baby that is too big. This is just a gut feeling, but I'm finding some of the research supports this. (Risk of rupture goes up with babies size and gestational age, etc).

Mighty Moo, I get you. I know if I were to walk into the local community hospital, RIGHT NOW, I could have my baby today via C-Sec. My Doc would totally freak that I am still pregnant right now. (I stopped congruent care at 38 weeks.)

That being said, I know it is not what I want. I too am working on the trust thing. Good Luck to you & sending you labor vibes!!!

Just my 2 cents MightyMoo, I've had 4 vbacs, 3 of which were induced and no problems..if that helps at all? Hugs, Kitty
