haha, no thats fine, no worries about hijacking my thread! I sorta did it over in yours too Mrs S! hehe I guess its because we've all sort of been in similar scenario's huh? and thankyou Marydean for your pleasant wishes with my C/S on thursday, tomorrow is my last day feeling like a normal human for a little while but hey - I'll get there.

I actually asked the OB today if I could have some more time, cause bubbys heads fully engaged he is ready to try and come out on his own!!! The Ob said he would be more than happy to let me go the full 10 days overdue if I wanted but I needed to be aware that if a problem occurred during labour or birth it would more than likely be more serious even life threatening to me and/or my baby with him being on the much larger side. He did also say that the scans can be pretty inaccurate, but he is certainly expecting him between 4-5kilo bub and like I said before - my 1st was 4.6 kilo so its expected! He said I was in a much higher risk catogory for VBAC than other women cause my bubs going to be so big, otherwise if my baby was smaller he would not hesitate and say sure go for it and send me to nambour for a VBAC, with the success rate being 70 percent or something he said I think for VBAC births there I dont know. The end is drawing near and I really wanted a vaginal birth, but I want to be safe for me and my little boy too. He said that if problems did arise they would need to rush me off for emergency c section, and emergency c section is usually rushed and so quick like 30 mins from start to finish, therefore its harder on the womans body, and more risky for both mum and bub and the risk of accidents happening in surgery increase compared to that of an elective c section. And I was lifting Lily out of the car today and my hip got another nast sharp pain in it, now im even limping worse! and its been the sorest today its ever been!!! He also doesnt like the look of my scar its swollen, lumpy and stretched and so so so soooore! so his advice was not to risk it - especially if this is my last bub and the c section wont affect any future pregnancies.

So for Thursday its still on... hehe I was on a mission to get out of it this morning Im terrified! gee Im such a cry baby. But i did have a huge chat to him about how i was feeling during my 1st one, and he said all i need to do is tell the anethesist and he can give me such medications to make me feel and cope better with the surgery. So fingers crossed it goes a little better this time... aww Im so scared again, more so than last time coz I know what im in for this time, but I am excited too! I just cant contain it! A whole hard long 9 months of doing a wonderful job of baking this baby now I wanna see him! I just cant wait! - sort of... you know what I mean hehe - DH will have to hog tie me to get me to the hossy thursday! hehe.

Thanks for all your replies and stories, and being such a wonderful caring and supportive group of ladies!!!

Hugs to all!!!!
