Can't shake the anxiety!

I am still so nervous something is going to go wrong this pregnancy. So far I've been so blessed and everything has been going great. I am just so nervous though that they have scheduled my C-section later then they should've. Being high risk and having the hypertension, I keep reading that they normally do not go past 38 weeks. My C-section is scheduled for Feb 8th which brings me to 39+3 days. He only does his scheduled C-sections on Monday mornings so that's why it's that day. To me though it's really pushing it. 4 days shy of 40 weeks I think my odds of going into natural labor is pretty high and that's what they really want to avoid because of my blood pressure. I know they are monitoring me every week starting on the 24th so obviously if they start to notice distress or pre e kicking in, they will take her right away but it still doesn't make me feel better. With my 1st daughter, I never went into labor. They induced me at 36 weeks because of pre e and then just did a c section. This time I'm so nervous because I don't know the signs of labor and naturally going into it. I plan to mention to my high risk Dr on the 18th my C-section date is scheduled for 39+3 days but it's so stressful on me that I am in the middle of the 2 Dr's. I am the one that has to go back and fourth telling each one what the other is doing. Ugh! I just pray for a healthy baby in the end of all this.

In my experience, I feel like doctors are overly cautious when it comes to delivering a healthy baby (as they should be!). |
