So I went in for my ultrasound yesterday to make sure the cerclage is holding strong and that Vince is not having any problems hanging out in there. Imagine my surprise when the technician told me my kid is a chunky butt! Ok, so he was waaay to polite to even say something of that nature but he did tell me that Vince is already weighing in over 5 lbs!!!! No wonder I have absolutely no space left in there! Tony, the tech, said if I carry to full term expect to have a baby weighing in at 9-10 lbs! Holy cow. Literally. Anthony (my first) weighed 7 lb 5 oz when he was born and it was a difficult delivery since his head was just a smidge too big so I can’t imagine how Vince is going to fit. That thought leads me into the horrors of imagining a c-section.
Don’t get me wrong I find nothing wrong with a c-section and if that is what is best for the both of us, by all means! Anthony almost turned into a c-section so I’m not one of those women that feel I must give birth vaginally. I’m just worried that it will make healing harder and make Anthony feel even more displaced because I won’t be able to pick him up and do anything I would normally.
Excuse me while I go back to my corner and continue whimpering.
