Awe sorry mama. Maybe you'll just go into labor on your own and labor at home
And they won't be able todo anything about it haha.

That's awesome, sounds like you found a fantastic & supportive doctor

I was hoping that, but the doctor keeps trying to scare me by saying if i attempted to labor at home alone, and my uterus ruptures, me and baby could die quickly. It just makes it so hard because i do want what's best for my child first and foremost, but i don't want to be forced into a situation that nobody could possibly know the outcome. Plenty of people have had successful vaginal births after multiple cesarean's. I'm sure there are those that have complications and bad things may happen. I know mine is more complicated because i've had hernia surgeries on my abdomen as well. I just wanted to be positive about the whole thing and if my body labored on it's own, to give it a go. My doctor says if i go into labor, they will just make me have a c-section when i get to the hospital. Not even my hubby will support me on my decision. He says the doctor knows best  Maybe she does!

*sigh* that's so hard. I'm struggling with mine too. It's hard not having an option. If it had to be emergency or there was a complication during birth fine. But I feel so doomed. I feel helpless. I hate not having a choice.

Just like the nicu. I wanna make it to 36 weeks because there's at least a hance of no nicu time. But 35 weeks I have no choice. It's so not fair. Everyone keeps saying "well 36 weeks doesn't mean she won't go" and I'm like "I know but I like having hope".

Right, exactly. Hope is all we have. When that gets ripped from you, it becomes very depressing and you feel like nothing you say or do matters, when your the one going through it not them. I hope you make it to at least 36 weeks. I was born at 36 weeks weighing 4 lbs 9 oz. My mom said she didn't get to see me for 4 days, she had toxemia and almost died. She said when she finally came to, they wheeled her to the nursery and she asked which one was hers, and they said the one looking all around. She said my head was up bobbing around the room and all the other full term babies were crying and not as active or alert. She said i was nosy then ha ha. Didn't have to stay in the nicu or anything. So there is hope mama, and that was over 30 years ago.

Thanks sweetie. She is doing good. She get hiccups tons of times a day which means she's getting her system working. And she's practicing breathing on her u/s. so she's doing everything she needs too. She was so cute on the u/s today cause she kept lifting her chin and looking over her shoulder. She was sucking and swallowing. She would flex around. So she's growing perfectly.

That's great, sounds like she is right on target to be a happy healthy baby. I know i go for my 3d/4d ultrasound tomorrow, i can't wait to see who my baby looks like. I'm so excited. Hopefully she is still a girl and hasn't grown a penis lol.

Just popping in to say hello   and show off my baby girl lol

Yours turned out so great. Mine suck cause of her snuggling the placenta do she doesn't have enough fluid to get great pics around her face   but I know this sounds weird but she looks a lot like Scarlytt haha.

Question: I am hoping/ thinking I will go into labor soon. I am due february 7th. I feel like there is no space left for my little one. I am very short 4' 11 3/4 my stomach is so hard, I do not see how he has any amnotic fluid left. Is anyone elses stomach all baby n hard feeling? I have started having bad braxton hicks, and the baby does not seem to be as active due to limited space. Also I have gestational diabetes..Anyone have any ideas, or comments?

You're only 35 weeks.... Baby will find space, especially since it from 35 or 36 weeks on they gain a pound a week. Pregnancy isn't glamorous but you just have to suck it up. My Ag teacher had GD when she was pregnant and I'm very thankful that I don't have it, but it's not the end of the world. Just wait, everything you go through will be worth it in the end when you have a healthy happy baby!
