C-section scheduled

Hi all,

Just a quick update. Everything has been going on normal till this point. I was working from home since week 28 and have been taking it light, but everything was good. Babies were growing and I was feeling good too.
Went for a sonogram today(I have completed 36 weeks as of today). They and my ob felt that the babies are not growing as much as they should.
Baby A is weighing 5 lbs 2 oz and Baby B is weighing 4 lbs 10 oz. They feel that they are not getting enough nutrition inside, so they have decided to take the babies out on Thursday via C-section.
All this feels so sudden. I am quite worried about the babies' weight and hope they do well when they come out.

 

I know you're very nervous, but congrats on making it this far. I was told that my babies were way too small about a week before they were born and they really ended up surprising everyone and not needing any NICU time. I hope the same for you!!

 

Hi. I was induced at 36 weeks 1 day for the same reason as you. Baby A was 5lbs 5oz. Baby B was 4lbs. Both came home healthy from the hospital with us no nicu (weighing 4.15 and 3.11 when we left the hospital) I'm hoping for the same outcome for you. I'm sure everything will go great! Good luck.

 

You have made it this far and that is great. Congrats on getting to meet your babies on Thurs. :Clap: Can't wait to read the birth announcement.

 

:hug99: I know you are worried, but the doctor is doing his job in picking this up. :hug99: Stay positive, you've made it so far! Can't wait to hear all about it and see pictures of the little sweeties!

 

Mine were born at 36 and 2, and were perfectly healthy. They were with me after their sugars were regulated, and that only took about 5 or 6 hours. Goodluck!

Wow! A light at the end of the tunnel! Sounds like the doctor knows what he is doing! Can't wait to see your new precious little ones!

 

Good luck on Thursday!! :hug99:

I know you're nervous/excited...basically a ball of emotions. Just think about holding those lil ones in the next few days ~ you'll have your own lil firecrackers for the 4th

Congrats on 36 weeks! Good luck on Thursday! We'll be looking for your birth announcement .

 

Congratulations and good luck!!! We will all be eager to hear your birth story and see pictures when you find the time ^_^

 

I know its hard, try not to worry too much. :hug99: Congrats for making it past 36 weeks, that is awesome!! Good Luck with your c-section! Can't wait to read your birth story.

 

I know it's hard but stay positive. 36wks is a great result and you would rather they go in early as opposed to leaving things as they are and depriving the baby of vital nutrients.
All the best and god bless.

 

Good luck to you!! mine are being taken for similar reasons! one was only 3 lbs 5 oz at 33 weeks. the other 4lbs 13 0z. i have a c section scheduled @ 35 weeks. my dr. says i won't need the steroid shots either. once you make it to 34 weeks, they say they are no longer needed. they are "practice breathing" great on their own according to us! please keep me posted! i'll be interested to hear how everything turns out since i'm in a similar situation. pm me! good luck!!!
