I went to my Doctor yesterday and she offered me a c-section. It is not offered to everyone but because I had gestational diabetes and the baby is estimated over 4.5 kg they offered it. The other option is to induce me early. The cons for inducing are if the baby is as big as the ultrasound says his shoulders could get stuck and cause nerve damage in his arm, sometimes the damage might be for a couple hours sometimes it could last a life time. The other problem that could occur is the cord might get pinched when his shoulders are stuck and cause brain damage. There are also many cons with having a c-section, infection, longer recovery, lots of bleeding, mostly the problems that could occur would effect me. I have chosen to be induced and if something goes wrong to have a c-section, because with them being warned that I may end up with a c-section the team will be there and be ready. Also I choose this option because they told me of a study that they did with women who were estimated to have big babies. They asked the mother, the doctor and the ultrasound to guess the weight of the baby. It turns out the mom was right most of the time the doctor was second and the ultrasound was last. So there is a good chance that the baby is not 9.2oz. I feel that the baby is around the same size as the boys were. I will be 38 weeks Sunday and the doctor said anytime after the 27th I could be induced, I told her that it would have to be December 3 because I had to many appointments this week, lol!! I am not joking either, but also why not wait as long as possible.
