OT-Prayer Request
OT-Prayer Request
Today had my appt. at my o.b. office. I saw a lady I've never seen before (I really liked her). Today I am 36 weeks and 4 days. She said I was measuring 40 weeks today and wants to do an ultrasound next Wed. She said many reasons for measuring big....could be big baby (my previous babies always measured 2 weeks ahead and were born at 8 lb 6 oz and 8 lb. 9 oz.), the position of baby, or that the baby isn't peeing/swallowing like she should, so they just want to check. So I am scheduled for an ultrasound next Wednesday for them to just check on Lizzie. Prayers appreciated for her health and peace of mind for me. Thanks, everyone.

Praying for your and your little one!...
Just want to share some thoughts my doctor shared with me in a similar situation with my second.....which you may know, but keep in mind your due date could be off by as much as two weeks...depending on when little blessing was actually conceived. So, as scary as it sounds, it may not be off as much she thinks. That thought seemed to help ease my mind, knowing that everything is in God's timing. He was born a week early - which I don't think was actually "early" for him (I also had a big baby at 9lbs, so it was no surprise he measured big!) Hope all goes well for you, and keeping you in my prayers...try not to worry... God has you both in His hands!

Re: OT-Prayer Request
I totally understand where you are coming from.
But after we had our ultrasound the doctor moved our date up by 8 days, then said I was going to have a big baby.
Of course, I could have told him that since all my babies were big. My youngest was close to 10 pounds!
I said all that to say "I've been there." And recently.
Praying for all to be well.

I have prayed for you and your baby, Edwena!!! The Lord will walk you through it all. He is ever ready to come to our aid at just the needed moment - He loves us like that - it's really an incredible comfort even in deep times of need. I will continue to pray.
Love in Christ,

Re: OT-Prayer Request
Thanks so much for the prayers, ladies. So very humbling....
Just in from the o.b.'s office. We had our ultrasound. It was very different for us as we've NEVER had an ultrasound this late in pregnancy before. She looked HUGE on the screen. All was good news....amniotic fluid levels are normal, and all her organs looked fine. Ultrasounds aren't always accurate this far along when it concerns a baby's weight, but if you're just curious, they told us that they think her weight right now is 6 lbs 10 oz and she was 18 inches long. It was so sweet that we could see her chubby cheeks on the ultrasound.
After discussing things with the o.b. we are attempting a VBAC (vaginal birth after c-section). This decision isn't taken lightly by anyone in this family and we know that we need all the prayers that we can get. With that said, if Lizzie does not come on her own accord, the o.b. will not induce, so we have a scheduled date for a c-section on Feb. 21st.
We would be so humbled if you would regularly pray for us until her arrival.

Re: OT-Prayer Request
I will definitely be praying for you. Glad she looks fine! I had a c-section with my first and then two successful vaginal births. But like you, we had an eviction date planned with our second (he came 4 days before that and 2 days before his due date). And her weight seems very similar with what we were told with both girls (also had ultrasounds to check size, etc). One was born 8lbs 3oz (c-section due to malposition and fetal distress 4 days before her due date) and the other was only 6lbs 15oz (one day after her due date). So they can definitely be off even with the same mom at the same time in the pregnancy.
