caesarean section? - 06:19 PM
(filed under 'baby')

i had my regular appointment with my obstetrician today. since the last ulstrasound showed the presence of a second placenta, he instructed me to have another ultrasound at thirty-six weeks to check where it is. it's possible that the second placenta might be in the way, meaning that i would require a caesarean to deliver rudegere safely. we discussed how he seems to be lying sideways & has been since he's been showing enough to have an idea of which way he's lying. this could indicate that the second placenta is indeed down low, in the way of a natural birth.

it would be disappointing to have to have a ceasarean, since i would have preferred a natural birth, but i guess the important thing to keep in mind is that rudegere is able to be healthy & happy no matter which way he comes into the world. it's not a definite at all though. i'll find out for sure once i have the second scan in six to seven weeks & then go back to see my obstetrician again.

my placenta was laying low when i had my first ultrasound, too; which is why i had to go back for another one later on. thankfully mine had shifted out of the way. i hope your extra one won't cause any problems for you and my neice *smile*
