Default Due date BUMPED! 3 weeks.../panic!

So my doc has decided that a c-section will be a very very bad idea because of the excess skin on the pannus. I have actually lost weight in that area cause I have carried so high the entire pregnancy.

So a c section scar under all that excess skin and the fact that I still have about 70 lbs to lose she wants to avoid the big C. The advantage to a C would of course be the possibility of a hernia and thus easier approval for plastics.

The bad side of that would be that it would be a healing nightmare and I might not be able to pick up the baby for like 2 months. NO BUENO!

The body is measuring right for 35 weeks but the head and the shoulders are measuring much bigger, like a 37 week pregnancy. Doc just doesnt wanna take the risk of having to go C.

So after the 15th of March I can pretty much just pick a date and tell the doc. She said, pick a day, and we have a baby!

Cool but scary!
