Well, were heading into the home stretch. I am now into my 38th week. I cant believe it! By this time with Breeanna, I had a date to be induced and knew when she was coming. This time I am planning on a VBAC (vaginal birth after c-section) so its "go with the flow" and see what happens. I have good days and bad days. Sometimes I have energy and no pain. Other times I have to rest and do nothing. Today, is a good day :) I had my check up a few days ago. Everything is good- urine, blood pressure, fetal movement, etc. I didnt gain any weight in a week, which is ok. Baby was very active and his heart rate was 142 beats per minute. He is head down and has dropped considerably. And get this... I have been measuring at 40 cm since 34 weeks. Well, now that he has dropped, I am on track and measured 37cm at 37 weeks. Go figure?! The doctors are quite impressed I am set on a VBAC. Most patients feel they are "once a c-section always a c-section". But not me. Mine only came about because after 16+ hours in labour I didnt get to the 10cm and baby's heartrate was irregular. I have NO complications this time around, so its worth a shot again. Plus, I will be at term and baby will be ready to come out on his own. If it ends in a c-section, so be it. But atleast I tried, right? I would just love to go natural, get home sooner, have a quicker recovery, etc. Alot of people think a c-section is EASIER. WRONG!!
Last week, we had a maternity photo shoot done by my sister in law. She did a fantastic job! The pictures turned out wonderful and they will be a great way to remember this pregnancy.
Breeanna is doing great! She keeps me on my toes all day, and thats exhausting. She eats non stop, talks non stop... She hasnt been a fan of keeping a sleep routine, which is trying on my nerves. But we get through it. I think she is getting me ready for when baby boy is here and I will never get to sleep! Well, thats all for now :)
