Brea (daughter-in-law) went to the doctor on Monday. After he examined her, he said I have some good news and some bad news. The good news... Brea won't be going into premature labor. The bad news... she may not be going into labor by herself any time soon. Her cervix is not thinning at all. Still thick and holding that baby in good and tight.
So the deal is, she will have an ultra sound on Saturday to see how big the baby is. The doctor doesn't want her to get over 8 pounds. I am sure that Brea doesn't either. (E was 10 pounds 3 ounces) Then next appointment is Monday afternoon (her due date) The doctor will determine when they will induce labor if she has not progressed any. If inducing doesn't work after 2 days, then she will have to have a c-section. We don't want that, thank you.
So keep your fingers and toes crossed that little Kaylin decides to push from the inside. :)
Fingers are crossed. I just found out today that my buddy and his wife had their first last week. 5 lbs 4 oz and 19.5 inches long. Mother and Baby are doing well and I know that your daughter-in-law will be the same way, just with a bigger baby. I was like 10 pounds and went natural.
Hi!
Best wishes to Brea and you! I'm sure you want nothing more than meeting your granddaugther; sooner rather than later ;)
Fingers crossed and prayer sent!
