So just got back. Ims still 1 cm and
50% effaced. She wouldnt strip my
membranes til im 39 weeks or 38 and 6 days
but there wasnt an appt for that day so im
going back at 38 and 5 so she wont do it.
Plus she asked the head doc and they
wont induce me even if I go overdue so
next week im scheduling a repeat c-section
for the 15th hopefully. The only
hopeful news is im measuring bigger than I
am for the third time in a row and im
hoping they got my due date wrong and this
kid comes on his own b4 then. If not o
well ill have him next week and plenty of
pain killers. Also she said I was high
during the cervix check figured she ment
his head but thats gotta b wrong cuz he
was way down there when I was at the er
and they checked plus I can feel hes not
to high so I dunno w/e
allie: 8lb 8oz
me 9lbs
jennie: 7lbs 9oz
kimmeh: 8lbs 4 0z
boston:8lbs 12 oz
rachel: 8lbs 10oz

he is?

Yeah when the head is down, it starts to
feel a little sore, especially when you
walk, sort of like sore bones down there?
Cant be much longer to go now.

When you do have a c-section how big is
the scare? Would it be worth the pain to
just have the baby normally compared to
haveing the scare?

Thanks for guessing jennie but theyve
already told me hes gunna b bigger than
his sister was and she was 7 10. As for
the scar its like 6 inches across and in
some spots you cant see it ill take a pic
of mine if ya want. Personally ive never
had vaginal birth but from waht dalicia
has described it sounds like it sucks! My
c-section was good I already had the iv in
so I didnt have to worry bout that poke.
I had to have a cathader and that wasnt
painful just a lil uncomfortable when they
first put it in and then after the section
when they took it out (like the next day)
they wanted me to cough but I couldnt cuz
I still didnt have control over my ab
muscles. The spinal hurt but its the same
procedure as an epidural so either way id
get it and it only hurts for a min.
Afterwards it kinda sucks cuz you have to
lay in recovery for like 45 min for
monitoring b4 u can hold your bab y but
then agin your still pretty drugged up so
it goes by quick. Then u lay in bed for
like 24 hours with a morphine pump and
just chill and hold your baby the nurses
change your bed stuff cuz after either
type of birth you bleed. The only real
pain I remember having was from the tape
that was holding the bandage the dumb
doctor didnt hold my skin down when she
pulled it so it created blisters. I dont
really remember having my incision hurt to
bad maybe for a day or so but I also had
pain pills to take.
Was there a reason you needed a c-section?
Was something wrong with macy?

No there was nothing wrong she was just
uncooperative. My doc tried to induce me
(well half assed tried she only check on
me like 3 times over a 24 hour period so I
felt she could have checked more often
seen my contractions were slowing and
upped my pitocin) and after 24 hours I
didnt get past 3 cm so she was like you
can go home or have a c-section and my
husband had gone thru alot of trouble to b
there (he was stationed in chicago for
school at the time and I was in fl) so I
jsut elected for the c-section
