Bryan and I went to the doctor today and well...no dilation or effacement. I'm a little disappointed but I guess that's just the way it goes! Babies come when they're ready! The doctor did talk to us about some options for the deliver. He got the full report from the last ultrasound and let us know that our boy's abdominal circumference is in the 95th percentile which typically means that the shoulders will be equally as large. SOOO...the kid may be a little difficult to deliver naturally. The doctor is worried about shoulder dystocia. Here's a diagram of the possible situation...
So, our doctor is suggesting that we take the next few days to think about having a c-section. And I'm really okay with it. The idea of possibly hurting the baby (and myself!) does not sound appealing at all. So at this point we are definetly leaning in that direction. And if that's the case, we'll be heading to the hospital next Thursday for the surgery...oh boy!!! We'll go back a week from today to see the doc again and make the final decision. I'll keep ya updated!
