BABY DUST 11
Well things are good with me. I can feel my little girl moving around all the time and its getting stronger and stronger everyday. Hearburn has been extremely bad the last few weeks, I get it alll the time and from everything. I have noticed I have been very easily annoyed in the last few weeks.........and hubby would agree. I just feel irratable so dont worry Joyce you are not the only one. Seems like at night my stomach hurts, like the skin maybe. I think after a day of eating and a bit of growing it just seems to hurt a bit at night, sleeping is hard b/c I cant get comfortable.
Sounds like alot of complaining but really I am doing well, just a few complaints. I am enjoying some aspects of being pregnant, like feeling her kick and people commenting on my belly. We bought a stroller and car seat the other day and it was pretty exciting, the hubby was rolling around the store with it. He was excited about it so that makes me excited. We had a 3D ultrasound last week and are going back to finish the DVD tomorow, they want to get more of her moving and coke does not make her move. I am thinking ice cream. I'lll post more pics after!

Thank you hkenny :)
I think what the OB's office and I came to was that I would be ripened over night in the hospital on Monday, and then introduced to pitocin the next day to get things started to try for a vaginal delivery. I know I will be monitored like crazy, so if something is happening with baby, we can do a c-section if it just won't work.
I feel good about this decision and that my OB is supportive of me. I will feel better at least having tried, I think.

katebud- try to stay postive about the whole thing, either way you will end up with a beauitful baby boy! I know I would feel the same as you, however no one and that includes yourself should think any differently of you should you choose to schedule the c-section. In saying that I dont think there is any reason not to try vaginally first. Its a hard choice! Did your dr give you any kinda of percentage of you being able to deliver naturally?
My ob called me this morning and told me I have CPD, based on what the results were from the CAT scan. She said 5 out of 6 of my measurements were a lot smaller than average. So I have the option of scheduling a C-section for Thursday or waiting until my next appointment on Monday to see if anything has happened and then have a trial of (induced) labor then, which she said has a very large possibility of a c-section anyway.
I really want to try to have this baby vaginally, but I feel like I'm on the edge of giving up, if you will, on my dream...even though it is a small possibility that it can still happen. I do realize that having a baby is having a baby, no matter how baby arrives. I'm just sad about the idea of giving up my plans and not even having a trial of labor. I guess I feel that I would be happier knowing I tried and couldn't, rather than not having tried at all.
As my plan stands now, I'm giving myself until the end of the day to decide for sure. I'm thinking my plan may be to go ahead and schedule the section, and then try to stay uber active to see if I can "spontaneously" go into labor on my own before then.
Please, if anyone has anything encouraging to say, help me out... either way, with the section or with waiting for a trial of induced labor.
