June 29th...

On June 29Th, I will have another ultrasound determining how the baby is growing, and whether or not I need an amniocentesis. Scary!
Because I have gestational diabetes I have a very small risk of having a still birth if my blood sugar goes out of control after 37 weeks. That's why they want to do an amnio, so if his lung are developed, they can just take him out rather than waiting full term.
My sugar numbers have been pretty well controlled. I have been told that If I keep managing them as I have, then I should have no problem waiting till full term.
I don't want to even have an amnio done, so maybe I will just go to 39 week and see what happens. If the baby comes early, there will be nothing I can do about it, and If he doesn't come on time, then I will have to get a C-section at 39 weeks.
I had Gestational diabetes with Jack and I was able to wait till 39 weeks and have a C-section then, but he was breech most of the pregnancy so a C-section was inevitable.
I am probably over thinking this, but If you have any advice or whatever, please leave a note! Anything you would like to say... Good or bad.

Till next time

You just need to do what YOU feel is right. Follow your insticts! A few people thought I should have c-section with Sophia but I just didn't feel right about it, and it was good that I didn't. So I think if you don't feel getting and amnio is a good idea then don't. Trust me with Sophia's high risk pregnancy I know it's hard to figure out what you think and feel is right but when you know you'll know. Good luck!
