more time left
Well I will be around and pregnant until about 38-38-1/2weeks.
Yup they are letting me go until then.
I am so dang afraid to have a huge baby. I have never gone into labor myself. Inductions are VERY tough on me. BUT having a baby that was over 10 pounds was not easy either and put him in danger.
I am not hoping to be induced today and have a little baby etc. I am not looking to have a tiny baby. Heck I wouldn't know what to do with a 'normal' sized baby... I am just terrified of the birth if the little guy is as big or bigger as his oldest brother. He was already over 7 pounds last week... and they said DS#2 was the same and he was 9lbs 4oz... They were off a couple of pounds! Yes I know every pregnancy is different. But over 7 pounds and gaining at least 1/2 a pound a week?? OMG
I do NOT want a C-section and I do NOT want another baby who gets sick because of my prolonged labors. Hello rock... hello hard place.
I "can" go in and request an amnio to check for lung maturity and gor a week to a week and a half earlier. But I would prefer not to take that route.
UGH!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway I am at the point now I am crying out of fear and frustration.

Oh so sorry you have to wait longer!! That is sucky! Do you think you could talk them into letting you go earlier? I know you will do the right thing. Not too much longer though!! I will say a wish for baby G to not get too big! It will be good though, I'm sure. You are tough tough tough! I know it.
