Hi all! Aidansmum thanks for the update on Grease & her baby so happy to hear that things are going good for them!

Had my 36 week apt today baby is head down & ready to go. Already 2cm dialated & Dr thinks I could go in to labor at any point. Really can not get over how quickly this pregnancy has gone & really how many emotions I have gone through between swaying than finding out baby was a boy & now. Very excited to meet this little man, he seems to have lots of personality already. DD seems to finally be OK with having another brother so now I guess I just sit back & wait for him to decide to come!!

Hope everyone else is doing good also!

I went to mine last week and I was shocked when Dr said she had already dropped and was very low! Aidan didn't drop until week 40. I hope she's not thinking about coming early. I guess we'll be having our bubbas pretty close together, can't wait to see your little boy! x

Can't wait to see your little girl also! BTW did you schedule your C-section date yet? I love 7/17 that is DS3's bday

[aidansmum]

It is actually scheduled for 17/7!!!! What are the odds??? I am a bit in 2 minds though and wondering if I should push for the week after, reason being she will be 38 weeks + 4 days and I heard bad things can happen if you get them out before 39 weeks unless you have to? My Doctor came up with the date and he thinks is safe and says she is good size for gestation etc but I feel a bit uneasy, I would rather wait another 4 days or so, will talk to him next week about it. I guess he's a bit concerned that if we don't do it then she might make an appearance before we have a chance to do a C-section as he doesn't like the idea of going into labor AND having a CS. He says that considering my last traumatic delivery, age, etc I shouldn't tire my body with labor pains before going for a CS and that just turning up for the CS is safer. And because she has dropped and I have been shedding mucus plug he would rather not push it. Now I am unsure as to what to do. I trust him but you do hear horrible stories about babies being born before 39 weeks and having trouble breathing.

I actually like that date also because my bday is Aug 17th, exactly one month before!

[dreams529]

That is a tough one. Of course your dr should know what is best but you have to trust your gut also. I think a lot of times when babies are born at 38 weeks & have problems its cause their dates were off. Being we all swayed I think we should all be pretty accurate on dates but if something is telling you to wait than you should def listen to yourself! I have my fingers crossed for you!

I go back & forth between hurry up & be born already & than no wait until week 39. We have a ton to do this month & I feel so out of control with not knowing what little man will do. Can't decide if & when to do a bday party for ds3 or just skip it. Plus my DD has a 3 day softball tournament where we will be out in the heat for hours & dr's appts with the other kids... Everything is just so up in the air!! Have to remind myself everything will happen when its meant to!

[aidansmum]

You're right about the swaying and gestation accuracy, I know exactly when she was conceived so it shouldn't be a problem. I trust my Doctor but I will still talk to him about it next week for peace of mind.

It does sound like you have a very busy time in the near future, at least it will keep your mind off labor and due dates, maybe being busy is better, no time to feel anxiety

This seems like some good info on why they say 39 weeks tends to be best:
Why at least 39 weeks is best for your baby | March of Dimes
but you are only talking about a few days there, so maybe that isn't a big deal.
I hope my baby is born at 39-40 weeks... I'm not ready yet but it is hot and I feel big. I am looking forward to be finished with work next Monday so I can have some time to rest and get ready!
