On Pins and Needles!!!
Well, tomorrow is Monday, and while I have never been one to dread that particular day of the week, even with all it's undeserved reputation as a 'bad day', I am NOT particularly looking forward to THIS Monday!
See, Mondays are now the day that all my weekly OB appointments are falling on. I am 39 weeks pregnant for the 4th time (with my 5th child---got twins the first time!), and have had 3 previous c sections. My husband and I firmly believe the Lord has lead us, after MUCH prayer and research, to labor at home, and hopefully even deliver our child at home. We do have a wonderful, capable OB/GYN, and we have also hired a midwife. My OB, bless her heart, really wanted to do a c section at 38 weeks, which would have been last week. She, being medically educated and "brainwashed" by our cultural dependence on interventions and obstetric theatrics, does NOT think I am a good candidate for VBAC.
Soooooo, you see why I am not that excited about my appointment tomorrow! I do have a sonogram before I see the dr, and I always enjoy THAT, because it is so fun to see the little babe in there, and at this point especially, anticipate HOLDING it on the outside!! I am taking all the already-born siblings to see the sonogram, and my mom is coming along, too. I am hoping that their presence will "lighten the atmosphere" for the good Dr. G, and she won't give me the high pressure, YIKES!
I will definitely update tomorrow and see how the Lord helps me avoid the lecture THIS time! ;) ....and for anyone who missed the previous entry, I forgot to notify that I had posted something new before this one! Til tomorrow.

ugh... I just wrote a long comment and then clicked "post comment" without entering the code!!! LOL So... I will try to write it about the same...
I found your blog from the Nutzoid group... also think I have seen you at another group... maybe Above Rubies??
We have a lot in common.... I had baby #5 ON Sept.6th of last year! (actually baby #6... I lost my first shortly after birth at 25 weeks) I have had all of my babies by c/s because of the way they did my incision with my first. (classical)
I will be looking forward to seeing how your appt. goes and checking your blog more often!! It's great when we can break free from the world's view on things and trust God. I have had to do that since most Dr.'s would have told me to stop after my 3rd c/s. That would mean I would have just 2 of the 5 children I have now and would not be trying for #6! ;-)
I know the "pressure" you talk of too because we don't vaccinate and I was constantly put through the ringer when I'd bring my kids to the ped's office. To stop that... we switched to a family Dr. who supports us!!! God is good!!
Praying you can have a VBAC!!! In Christ, Bridget (who is going to type in the code this time so I don't absolutely have a nutty!!!!! hehe)
