If you didn't hear, we had a baby! Actually a lot of shit has happened, but that is exciting and makes me happy.
Rhys was born on February 19th weighing in at 9 pounds 14 ounces. He was 23" long. As much as I didn't want a repeat cesarean, thats what I had. My OB wanted me to have him on 2/9, but I wanted to try for a VBAC. My due date (according to my OB) was 2/16 (I still say 2/24.) If I had a cesarean, I wanted him to be born after his due date. I wanted him to have a chance.
With Bug, he never budged, and was born via emergency cesarean after 36 hours of labor and 3 of pushing. I was miserable after, and had PPD. I knew that if I didn't go into labor on my own, I didn't want to be induced. I couldn't go through the labor/delivery from hell again.
Long story short, on my due date Rhys was high, and there were no signs of him leaving. I wanted some control, so a cesarean was scheduled.
To be continued...
Congrats!!! I had a scheduled C my baby was breech. It sucks but sounds better than hours of labor pushing and and emergency C. Sounds like you made the right call! Glad everyone is healthy and happy!
