Feel free to share your honest thoughts and opinions...
When I went to the doc on Tuesday, she said "We'll choose a birthday at your next appointment." While she is checking for a heartbeat, I am mulling over this statement. (I am a list maker, a planner- I can't just make a decision like this in 2 weeks without some thought time!) So, I asked, what she was thinking, that I needed an idea so I could think about it all before that appointment. Her response is that the hospital doesn't like to do elective C-sections before 39 weeks, so the Monday before my due date. You mean, the Monday before Thanksgiving?!?! Who wants to be in the hospital for Thanksgiving?! She says we could do it Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday of that week. Ugh.
I knew we were looking at another C-section but I would rather not. I had really hoped that we wouldn't have to go that route. I get so mad at myself about trying to control Maggie's arrival by inducing and ending up with a C-section that I really wanted to just let nature take its course. And again- who wants to be in the hospital for Thanksgiving?!? Or have just been released?!? I think I am going to push for holding off until the Monday after Thanksgiving- my actual due date.
Is that reasonable? Or risky?
