Meeting our C section Doctor

I met Dr. P today. He will be the one doing my c section if bebe doesn't flip (I had another chiropractic appointment today and acupuncture. My right toe didn't hurt as much today- don't know if that is a good or bad sign.) The chiropractor said that if a baby is going to turn it typically will do so within a week- so I guess if it doesn't happen this week it is probably not going to happen.

We are waiting to here back from Dr. P about what day our c section is scheduled for. I asked for Friday March 8th- that way Matt can take a week of vacation, and the following week is my moms spring break so she can be here the week after. That's two full weeks of help at home- I think I will be ok after that.

I was a little disappointed by my appointment today. I was nervous about the whole thing so was shy I suppose. But Dr. P just wasn't personable. Maybe because I am used to Dr. H who is just fabulous. This appointment seemed very matter of fact. I peed in a cup. Got my blood pressure checked by a nurse then went into Dr. P's office to discuss the c section. He explained the procedure and said he would call me and tell me when it was scheduled for. Obviously this didn't go over well with me. (I briefly explained our desire to have a natural birth and wanted to wait as long as possible to give bebe the chance to turn. I also told him I would like the 8th. He said Fridays aren't good because they have office hours and so I said the 7th. He still has to call the hospital and see what is available and said he would call me in the next few days to let me know. I asked about being able to vbac for our next child, and about skin to skin in the operating room, and delaying newborn procedures. He said he didn't see a problem with any of that and told me to tell Matt to wear a button down. He did said that the newborn procedures were up to the nurses in the OR with us.

So here we are- we will be finding out if this LO inside of me is a boy or girl in 10-11 days.
