Omg I dont know what to do (update #1)

First_tyme

Im 39 weeks but measuring 44 weeks doctor said if that true baby weights about 10lbs......r u kidding me this baby is huge so I go thru for ultra sound n fri to make decision. My problem is im scared to have a c section.any mommy can give me sme kind of comfort or information about a c section

Had ultrasound 9-1-11 it turns out nothing was wrong it was just the way he was position I am still measuring up to my due date YAY...Thanks everyone for supporting me..

Ps.Another question how do I get baby to turn he is head down face up I know u can deliver like that but i heard it is a lot of back pain so its better to deliver head down face down.

I had a c section in 08. It's not near as bad as people make it out be! I have large babies to. You don't feel anything during, except a little pressure. And, the best advice I can give is to get up and walk as soon as they allow you. Good luck!

@sands3 how long is the recovery and was there alot of pain afterwards

shayshay

Awww that could be off. Are u a ftm? Do u have to have a csection? If not u should try for natural. I was only 19 when I had my daughter and I had her wit a midwife Ultrasound said she was bout 8 lbs the next day I had her she was 9lbs9oz big but beautiful princess! I had no episiotomy n had a tiny tear which needed only 1 stitch! U can do it mama!!! Perineal messages helped me tons! Good luck n I hope u meet ur lil blessing soon no matter which way

@First_tyme I was measuring 5wks ahead and had polyhydramnios which is too much fluid..they also said my baby would be over 10#. I did have extra fluid but they were wrong about how big baby was..he was only 6#13oz :-) just don't take what the ultrasound says as for sure fact cuz they are wrong a lot. good luck and update :-)

MY recovery was very quick. I mostly just had soreness after. The hardest part was getting out of bed. I had to roll. I would never tell someone to get a c section if they had another choice(I prefer it), but don't let people scare you out of it either.

when in the third trimester and they do ultrasounds to measure the baby its off by like 3 or 4 weeks

shayshay

shayshay

@First_tyme When I had my first I was told on a Friday by ultrasound that my baby was weighing 10 lbs, so they scheduled me to be induced for vaginal delivery the following monday. I had my daughter that day and she only weighed 7 lbs 2 oz. I measured big from week 32 on 6 weeks over because of the excessive amniotic fluid I was carrying. Don't worry chic!

First_tyme

@shayshay yes I am a ftm n I am 20yrs I will find out fri if I have to have a c section or not
@mnbaby3 I know because I just had an ultrasound on fri n I was at 38 weeks which was where I was suppose to b n he was measuring 7lbs 12oz then all ofa sudden today at my apt im measuring 44weeks im socked by the dramatic change n 4 days
@sands3 I dnt think the rolling part would b difficult because I roll out of bed now lol n thanks for the support
@newmomma13 thanks my friend said that also
Thanks everyone ill keep u updated

Wat perineal massage n how do u do it @shayshay

shayshay

@lubz its something my midwife showed me n my hubby how to do. U use a lil bit of lub on ur fingers which ever u feel comfortable with n u insert them in to ur vagina n slowly stretch downward n to da sides not too much tho just till u feel a lil tingle u just do that for a few min a day n it improves the elasticity of ur skin down their. I usually had my man do it cause its hard reaching around a big ol belly but when I had to do it myself my midwife said even just rubbing around ur vaginal opening wit a lil bit of lub or vitamin e oil will stimulate the skin n help out. Oh it helped a ton cause my lil girl was huge. I didn't do it every day just a few times a week n it still helped. N lots of sex in the end helps with the elasticity too! Good luck
