AMANDA
Where is everybody???? Are my alerts working??? If you did not get my entry alert, will you please let me know??? lol
Amanda didn't get to work this week ... Her feet have been swollen so bad and she has been having some pain...I guess it is braxton- hicks.
I have not mentioned this before now, because this journal is public and I do not want Amanda to know I am worried, nor do I want to get her upset....but I feel I must get this off my mind.
They are talking of taking Amanda's baby early....She has been placed with a high risk pregnancy doctor. They say her baby has IURG...Which means Intra-Uterine Restrictive Growth. Which basically means that the baby is not measuring up to the weeks that she is pregnant...that he will thrive better outside...among other things.
She has to have another sono-gram this coming Tuesday and the fetal specialist will look at it. She will be 35 weeks then.
They want to do an amnio- ? ( needle into the womb) at 37 weeks and if they find out that the baby's lungs have formed and can sustain life, Amanda will be induced into labor that day. If the lungs are not ready...they will wait one more week. Please, will you keep her and the baby in your prayers?
At work today, I waited on around 7 women that had either had a baby in the last couple of months or were expecting a baby within a month, and everyone of them said they were either going to be induced or had already been induced..not one of them had their baby the old fashioned way ...( when the baby and God said it was time...not the doctor)..
Why is that ??? Why are the OBGYN's inducing labor, on the average, two weeks early now??? Is it a normal thing to do now? Please, if you ahve time, will you vote on this?
If you know of anyone else, please share my journal url with them so they can vote also....
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

God bless you Carlene! Yes, I got your alert. I just haven't had time to do anything to speak of on the computer in about a week. As to your question about labor, well Bubba was coming backwards and I had a c-section. And I chose to have Bug C-section as well, 10 years later. It was my choice. The doctor said since I had had one I could do it or try to do it either way. You know once upon a time c-sections were extremely popular around these parts. I think many of them were unnecsisary. But many were. Perhaps the same thing is going on now with induced labor. But, Amanda and baby are in my prayers! - Barbara

37 weeks is not bad. I will be praying for Amanda. Years ago before all the sonograms babies were born when they were born. have they consider that maybe, just maybe the baby is petite?

Don't worry.... 37 weeks is not too early....
my first son was one week late, my second was five weeks early, and my last was right on time, all c sections, the second after first being induced and the last a scheduled c section.... I get preclampsia and I do not dialate past a three.... and they are all heathy Boys!
Special Thoughts for Amanda and baby to be....
and gentle hugs to you....
