40 week, 5 day OB appt.
Welllll --- Baby P is doing fine. Moving around a lot, great heart rate, lungs are pumping away, and all measurments good, including amniotic fluid -- so all good news.
But....Baby's got head!!! Like, BIG head!
And is now weighing in at ... 9 lbs. 2 oz.! 
Soooo -- we will go straight to a C-section on Sunday at 11am. My regular OB will be the one performing the surgery which makes me very happy. He said -- no dilation, no effacement, and no WAY that head is getting through that pelvis. So instead of inducing and wearing myself out and most likely ending up with the c/s anyway, I go in nice and rested at 9am and have the surgery at 11.
I am nervous but....whatever is best for baby is best. I love my OB BTW. 
Now I just have to tell my doula -- who is going to try and talk me out of it!!

Take it from me...I have big headed children!!!!!!!!!!! Go for the C!!! Actually my one doctor said the reason my kids are born early is that they are so big that they would other wise have to stay in there!!!!!!!!!

Re: 40 week, 5 day OB appt.
how does the doctor know the baby's weight - by measuring your belly? sorry if this is a dumb question.

Mmm I don't know - he does the ultrasound and measures the circumference of the head, length of the femur, size of the abominal cavity - I guess with all the measurments the ultrasound machine comes out with the weight on its own. Of course it can be off.....but still, my baby got a big ole head and that is for sure!!

Ok. You are too funny....
On the the c section, trust me, pushing out a big headed kid (and mine had his hand by his face ) is no fun.
Five days til Baby P!!

Sunday is the day!
Did he say what he would do on the off chance that Baby P does try to come on his/her own before then?
