... I’m not even anywhere near my planned c-section date of 7th June and am thoroughly fed up and impatient now. I’m not sure I can last another 7 bloody weeks! I know these will go by very quickly really buy at the moment, I’m finding walking very tiring and am getting overly hot in this warmer weather. 😖
I’m due for another scan in a week and a half, and my consultants (yes, I now have two!) will be reviewing my diabetes and seeing if my diet has controlled my levels enough to stay with the original date. If not, they may (but v unlikely) bring it forward to 37 weeks or possibly even 36 but this would be v unlikely. I’m actually hoping in a silly and mad way that they do - I am only 5’2” and am well aware that I am measuring larger than average for my size, plus baby is bigger abdominally than he should be. As I can’t seem to tolerate the insulin, they have said I am doing ok with a diet controlled plan but I’m seriously fed up with not knowing whether it can be controlled enough over the next few weeks - I am impatient at the best of times, but this is seriously testing me now!
Sorry for the long rant and moan. I am so grateful that I am pregnant with my DC2 and can’t wait to meet him all being healthy and well - I just wanted an easier third trimester and not get too big. At least this time they have been on that ball and monitored me for diabetes, as last time it went unchecked and I was overdue with a massive 11lb5oz DD!!
Has anyone ever requested an earlier c-section owing to their baby’s size and diabetes?
