3rd Trimester

Decision Made...

While it ways on me, and I wish I could safely pick anything else, I have decided to go ahead with the C-section for my presumed 10lb baby next week.  I delivered my first two at 37 weeks (7.7 and 7.11) and they were both fantastic, but my doctors have repeatedly emphasized to me the dangers while extraordinarily minute in chance to have shoulder dystocia and the consequence of potential permanent neurological damage and even death, the consequence is just too high to risk.  While I do not want an unnecessary surgery, and I feel like I could do it, I would rather have made the wrong decision in terms of surgery, than have made the wrong decision for my baby girl.
