37 1/2 Weeks

On Wednesday we will be 38 weeks pregnant.  However, there is a slight hiccup..  And I'm not talking about the daily hiccup sessions that baby has been entertaining us with in the morning and after dinner.  This is a hiccup of another sort

I am sure ellen will be ok... coming from a medical person. Yes, it will hurt, but they will probably either give her pain meds or sedate her while they are doing it.

Also, one of the most common things that people get concerned about is the cord and if it wraps around the baby's neck. That is a simple fix during delivery and will not harm the baby. (I am taking NeoNate stuff atm in medic class)

Please keep us updated. Once I am done with medic class, we need to get together. I haven't seen you in like forever and it sucks. Tell ellen I said Hi and Good Luck with the procedure. *hugs*

keep me posted on how it goes hon. I know a c-section isn't a preferable option, but if one of the bad outcomes does occur it is, by far, the safest. If it does result in a nuchal cord, lilpup is right - they'll usually just proceed with delivery as normal unless there's some indication of it being tight enough to affect circulation - this will be obvious when she goes in the hospital and is put on monitors.

also, while I know she's not thrilled with the prospect of a C-section, scheduling one is -greatly- preferred to an emergency c-section.
