Visit with the doctor

I was excited for this day. I would finally get to see the doctor, hopefully ultrasound, and find out what the choices are for my situation. All I know is that it is better for me to have a c-section but with the due date so unsure, it will be difficult to know the timing. All my children are born on 37 weeks.


Well, after weighing and answering a few questions and getting the blood pressure taken, the assistant nurse left, telling me I needed to change into the gown with nothing underneath... Oh..... nothing. My husband asked me if I wanted him to go out even... as if! After a while, the nurse came in. Oh, she was the lady who I saw at church when I went to do some service work!!! It was so nice to see her. Anyway, she said she would look for the heartbeat and with doppler, she listened around and ...found it. There was a strong heartbeat. Tears came in my eyes. Definately, a human was growing in me. It was certainly the moment that I would never forget. I am responsible for not only my body but my little one growing in me as well. What I do, eat, listen, and so on is going to affect this baby. It is just not me anymore.


Anyway, she told me that they don't schedule the c-section until you are 39 weeks pregnant. Great. I knew I will not last that long for sure. Then she said with my case, it might be better to do the test to see the lung is fully developed as soon as I hit 37 weeks. If it is, I will have the operation on the day or the day after. Sounds good to me... although thinking about surgery makes me very nervous. They are going to open me. Scary.


Hearing me talk about my concerns, she felt my uterus and did ultrasound for me. There it was, my little one. It was only about 3.5cm (1 1/2inches). So she pushed back my due date to beginning of June and thus I am 10weeks pregnant instead of 12 now. I just hope everything goes smoothly and okay- Yes, this is a blessing.
