Our appointment that was rescheduled happened today. Everything looked good- Dr. Leazenby says I’m measuring right on and Mason’s heartbeat sounds good. I’m excited that he’s also in the correct position to rock and roll. Sydney had turned breech at the last minute which required me to have a C-section. We’re hoping I can go as natural as possible (epidural is ok, but we’re hoping to stay away from a C-section and pitocin is not an option--- With Pitocin (a synthetic oxytocin that your body naturally produces) and a prior C-section, the pitocin can speed things up so fast that makes that C-section scar more prone to not so good things… So yep, Pitocin is not an option at all.) Anyway, with my blood clotting issues, Dr. Leazenby is wanting to stay away from a C-section if at all possible as a surgery of that type could potentially be hazardous to my health- literally.
My weight gain is decent (although higher than I'd like) and things are going good. I have been contracting here and there, but nothing that stays really consistent for long periods of time although a few of them have been real doozies.
Oh, and after a really long time of trying to grow out my hair, I got it cut off last week. I like it though. So, tune in folks, we’ll keep you posted both here (as much as we can) and on Facebook as to when Mason decides to makes his grand arrival!
