I followed up with my doctor yesterday morning and I don't really have much news considering there was only one day between visits, but a few small things!
Well first off...37 weeks is considered
FULL TERM!! Yay!! That means that if baby was born now, he wouldn't be "premature" and should be completely fine. :)
My doctor told me to not worry about needing a c-section. She says she only offers them to patients with macrosomia (a baby over 10 lbs at birth.) She said he would probably fall into this category if I make it all the way to my due date. Luckily she says she would be "shocked" if I get close to my due date. So chances are..no c-section for me!
I also asked what the possibilities were of induction to avoid a c-section and she said until I make it to 39 weeks the risks outweigh the benefits of doing that. I don't really want to be induced either though, but it would be better than a c-section.
Every week I need to have a nonstress test to check on the baby. She says I have hydramnios (too much amniotic fluid) so they need to check on him more frequently. Don't look hydramnios up online, all kinds of scary stuff comes up about babies dying and all kinds of birth defects (In severe cases!!). I have what sounds like a
very mild case that is simply caused by how big he is because there were no other complications found so it shouldn't be an issue.
Maybe I'll have a birthday baby!! My birthday is next week and that is when my obgyn thinks he will most likely come.
