Previous Exsperience-One daughter, 2005. Full term 42 weeks. Went into labor on my own 2 days before scheduled c-section. Worst back labor in the WORLD, ended with a c-section. Recovered great except the back pain I still have from trying to give birth to a baby that was OP.
Due Date of Baby to be- May 25th
Our Story: Dave and I have been together 4 years this Thanksgiving. We both have children from previous relationships. My daughter is 7 and his son is 5. We were married this April 7th 2012. I had been on the pill since I had my daughter in 2005. Dave and I talked about having a baby together once we were married. He seemed to think it was hilarious to joke and say he didn't want any more kids HAHA ;-). We decided to go off of the pill a week before our wedding. Per my doctor it would probably take about 3 months to get the BC out of my system. In June we decided to really start trying. I starting temping and using ovulation kits daily. And low and behold I took a test September 11th and POSITIVE! I then took 3 more LOL to make sure ;-) . Funny thing is the 1st weekend of Sept. we went to a friends birthday party and I had drank a little punch they had which was drowned in sugar. It made me sick that night. Husband said UHHHH why are you throwing up?? I told him I don't know I drank to much of that sweet drink. He gave me a weird look like Are you sure? Then a few nights before I tested I had spotted a teeny tiny bit thinking I was going to start. i remember saying to him MANNNN I'm going to start no baby this month. But nope nothing. I thought that was odd. Apparently that may have been some "implantation" bleeding.
How did I tell hubby? I texted him a picture and said I guess I was complaining for nothing the other night! He called and said uhhh WHAT?! ;-). At that time I was 3 weeks pregnant.
I called the doc made my appt. But then started spotting brown for a week straight at week for and 5. I called the doctor on the Monday or my week 5 and went in for an early ultra sound to check the baby to be on the safe side. Everything was fine at that moment a perfect 5 weeks two days. But I wasn't "sure enough" so I got blood work done and all was A OK!
Doc had me come back at 6 weeks 3 days for a second ultra sound so we could check baby for heart beat. Again WHOO HOO! Strong baby!
Week 8 and 2 days got to go in for my "official appt". You know the works with blood work, peeing in a cup yadda yadda. And look at that little baby to be! Perfect with a perfect heart beat! The sack is disappearing and the umbilical cord is visible.
Doc asked me about doing a scheduled c-section at 39 weeks verses a V-back. Apparently after a c-section you can not be induced the next go around, meaning you have to go into labor on your own. But also if I choose a c-section this time if I have more kiddo's then I will not have a choice any more. At this moment I'm waiting it out. Come 39 weeks I might say SIGN ME UP DOC! LOL but who knows. He says that at 41 weeks if I haven't gone into labor on my own then we will need to re discuss c-section to avoid an emergency c-section.
I'll be going back in November for my next appt. I'm doing the genetics test at 12 weeks and also going in to go over all the lovely labs they took from me this week. AND I already have my 20 week appt set up to find out if we are having a princess or a prince in January I'll keep you updated! I'm also going to post weekly "belly" pics :-).
XOXO,
Jess
