So I went in today for my final OB visit before my scheduled C-Section on Friday afternoon. To everyone's surprise Baby Boy decided to turn in the last week or so. I really think it was yesterday as he was a lot more active than usual. He is currently weighing about 8lbs 5oz, is still practicing his breathing and his HR was 142.
Doc says due to baby's size, my history the past month with high blood pressure, seeing floaters, protein in my urine and almost passing out, that we still need to go ahead and get baby delivered.
He gave me the option of inducing or continuing with the scheduled C-Section. He did give me the disclaimer that my Bishop's Score (http://209.151.26.25/bishop.htm) does not really put me in a favorable position for an induction and that I may end up with the C-Section anyway.
I chose to try the induction first... I REALLY don't want a C-section if I can avoid it. So.... instead of going to the hospital on Friday afternoon at 2:30 for a 4:30 c-section, I will be going to the hospital Thursday night at 10:00pm. Around midnight they will place the Cytotec to start to ripen my cervix. Then about 7:30 or 8:00 Friday morning they will start the Pitocin.
Here's hoping for a regular delivery on Friday, September 12th and THANK YOU Baby Boy for turning around for Mommy!!!!

If baby has turned, maybe baby is trying to tell you something and plans to come out without a c-section. Come on, baby!
