This is what I wanted to say to the MFM doctor yesterday when he told me he wanted to wait til 38 weeks for the babies to be born.
I'm not usually one to disagree or disregard what a specialists says. But guess what...I can barely walk some days and to be told my ENTIRE pregnancy that I would deliver NO LATER then 37 weeks, one week longer seems like an eternity.
OK....to say one more week doesn't sound THAT bad. But when you have been thinking 2-3 weeks tops and then told 3-4 weeks. It seriously sounds like forever.
So i was taken back when the specialist doc said 38 weeks. I started to tear up and then he said 37-38 weeks, but to negotiate the date with Doc Astle.
Well...Doc Astle said his goal was to get me to 36 weeks (two weeks away). So when I see him Monday I'm definitely gonna be doing some negotiating.
Even if I have to wait til 37 weeks I'm OK with that. Its what I've been planning.
And another bit of news...I will be having a c-section. Baby A is breech and Baby B is transverse. It does NOT look very good for a vaginal birth. sniff sniff....I really didn't want to have a c-section. But I guess its not my choice.
Fun Fact...Baby A weighs approx 5lbs 5ozs and Baby B is approx 4lbs14oz. These numbers seem so tiny compared to my 10 pounder and 9 pound boys (If i do have to wait til 38 weeks I'll be having 8lbs twins)
