Hi all
After a couple of weeks of monitoring with GD and a large baby on board, the hospital now wants me in from tonight for steroids and induction at 36 weeks on Tuesday.
I just want what's best for the baby; I want her here safely. But there has been all this stuff recently about how even birth at 37-38 weeks can reduce a baby's IQ and increase risk of academic and behavioural problems and I am wondering why, if the monitoring is good every day, we can't push on for at least 1-2 more weeks, even if it means a c section - I could opt for a c section now anyway, if I wanted to. But then I think I have to trust the doctors. And it's driving me mad trying to make the right decision!
Has anyone been in this position? What did you do? Or has anyone had a 36weeker or earlier - am I right to worry about potentially getting her out too early and not giving her little brain chance to grow?
Thanks ladies!
