Feels like Forever

Rate this Entry
I seriously think it should be Friday already. I am TIRED! Appointment on Monday went fine. Didn't seem to have any new concerns anyway. The one yesterday went pretty well too. My regular OB measured yesterday and her measurements said Delaney is 5 lbs. Which is good news! The specialist will measure next week and hopefully we continue to get good news with it and she will be 5 and a half lbs. or more. Monday is our meeting with the hospital and I have no idea how to prepare for it. I feel like a lot rests on that appointment for some reason. I have my bags packed now. Since my OB has been suggesting it and since her measurements put Delaney up in the weight range she needed, I went home and packed the hospital bags last night. I also went and got a few things from Babies R Us yesterday. It was hard to leave most of it there on the registry and not just buy everything! Sometimes it feels like time is going fast and then days or weeks like this one make it feel like its dragging. I cannot wait to find out next week when we are setting the delivery for. I want a date. I have one more appointment this week then just two more weeks of appointments. Part of me feels ready and the other part is wicked nervous and unsure, just hoping she will be ready when its time.

    where are you delivering? and are you doing a C-section or Vaginal ? Just curious , because i'm doing inutero surgery this coming week to block Gavins trachea, which will give us 4 weeks to let his little lungs grow bringing me to 36 wks; however, I wanted to do a C-section so he doesn't have to go through anymore stress. Are they wanting you to do a C-section or vaginally ? and GOOD LUCK I've been following your stories since you're only weeks ahead of me!!!

    Way to go Delaney!!! That is wonderful she is 5lbs. and still growing and the appts. went better this week. I hope your appt. on Monday goes well and you get some hopeful news. Praying for strength for Delaney and you.

    @Casey, the only reasons doctors do a c-section with a CDH baby is to control the environment and guarantee a team of doctors are present or if the baby or mom needs one due to health reasons. A vaginal delivery with a CDH baby will not cause them any more stress and can be helpful to help push out the fluid in the baby's lungs. I ended up with a c-section with my CDH baby, because he couldn't handle the contractions and was in respiratory distress. At the time of delivery, doctors nor I had no clue he would be born with CDH.

    I have to have a c-section due to the fact that I had my son by c-section because he was breech. He was perfectly normal and healthy but they wanted a c-section for ease with him. And in Oklahoma doctors will not do a vaginal birth after you've had a c-section once. Insurance reasons. So I find out Monday when they want to schedule the c-section and just hope I can make it til then
