Macrosomia is the diagnosis that was written on the paperwork for my c-section. It usually goes along with moms who have gestational diabetes which thank God I do not have. While talking with Dr. C this morning I was asking her if I did something wrong. I can't help but feel like a failure since I am not able to have a vaginal delivery. I never understood it when other pregnant women said that but I do now. I feel like I can't even do what my body was meant to do. Dr. Clark said that I did nothing wrong. I didnt even gain too much weight, especially considering his size. She said that in my case it all has to do with genetics. I was an 8.5lbs baby at 36 weeks for goodness sakes. And I'm not sure if you have seen Michael but he is a pretty big guy. ;) She said that generally, the larger the baby the healthier the baby. Now let's just hope he doesn't come out at 6 lbs because then I will definitley be pissed. Honestly, I feel alot better about our decision to go the c-section route now. I think I just needed a few days to let it sink in and get over my hopes of a normal vaginal delivery. I read about a woman who tried to deliver a "Big Baby" and she ended up with her baby having a broken collar bone, then she had a broken tail bone, a fourth degree episiotomy AND ended up with a ceserean anyways. Talk about hurting!! I would rather just have one cut and for Avery to not be hurt in any way.
So there you have it...Avery is scheduled to arrive on Thursday, December 4th @ Noon.
I can't wait to hold this little boy and give him all of the huggies and kissies that he can stand! =)
