oooops!!!
i ...err...guess i forgot to tell ya the more important news of the consult appt this morning!!
doc managed to double book himself with morning appts & being in theatre til 1pm..but managed to pop up in between patients. after an hour of waiting, DH walked off to find ((a very much needed) coffee and water for myself. and of course the doctor arrived while dh was away.
anyways, all is well with baby, he's head down, nice heartbeat, etc.
and i did have an internal as well! the doc had his glove on, jellied, in & out, glove off...in like 3 minutes flat!! and it was anything but uncomfortable . so for that split second, i wondered what all the fuss was about!
well, turns out he couldn't feel anything! no cervix, placenta, baby's head, nothing.
the boy is still sitting so high up. ((guess it goes without saying, no dilation at all)) nothing is in reach so a sweep obviously wasnt offered. Doc said the placenta isn't favourable for them to break the waters or to go full on with induction, especially since its a vbac situation.
so the options at this point:
i can wait it out til just before 42 week mark in hopes he decides its time.
OR i can book for c/s. now, with C/s the date options were for tomorrow (((which as i mentioned earlier, is ds1's bday)) or for oct 2nd.
discussed it with DH at the day unit office...((the coffee and fresh air seemed to have break him from his grumpy morning streak, thank GOODness)).
decided to book Oct 2nd for C/s for a couple different reasons: 1) DH took the deciding vote to avoid having both children with same bday 2) another week to allow him to make an appearance on his own. & 3) we'd really like to experience the element of surprise as to the arrival. ((ds1, elective c/s, so it was more so like going to bed and knowing we were going to be parents by lunchtime the following day!!))
annyyways, sorry this is so long, gals!
i'm off to bounce on the gym ball for a while!
hope all is progressing for those starting to leak!!
