Due date ??!

So far this pregnancy has gone really well, and I feel so blessed to have been able to experience this gift.
But as the birth of my LOs are on the horizon, I can honestly say that I'm nervous even scared.
Yes, nervous for what this new chapter holds for me and my DH, but also very excited to welcome these precious little souls into our lives.

But really scared of the birth ...lol
I have never wanted a natural birth, I know I am probable the exception to the rule, but the thought has always scared me to death...

So with that thought I am scheduled for a c-section on the 20th of Feb, which will put me at just short of 39 weeks....with twins...( what is Dr R thinking????) twins are full term at 37 weeks!!
So for the last week I have been fearing the thought of having to go into labour and then having to have an emergency c-section, not a fun idea in my mind.

Most of the girls on FC that fell pregnant at more or less the same time as me, has gone on to have their gorgeous little twins, think from our batch there are 2 of us left standing.
I don't think any of the girls have made it past 37 weeks...

So that brings me to the next 2 weeks, my DH is out of the country at the moment, an will be for most of the next 2 weeks ...

The thought of going into labour is just so scary...trying to make it to the hospital by myself just as scary (wonder if i would be able to drive myself) and then the actual birth ....lol (have I mentioned that I am really scared?!)

So I guess the best I can hope for is either having these babies after the next two weeks, which I really hope will be the case
Or if they had to come early I would have just a little bit of notice so I can hopefully plan for it and hopefully get my husband back home in time for the birth of his sons.

Needless to say that I am not thrilled at the idea of doing this alone, so let's hope and pray that theses babies decide to come after the 5th of Feb...

  1. I'm sorry you are feeling nervous. Have you talked to your doctor about your concerns with doing the c-section so late? Does she/he have reasoning for this? They may have faith in your body due to how it has responded to twins so far. I hope you can ease some worry and hope things continue going well for you.

  2. Here's to your babies coming after 5 Feb!!! I can relate to your fear..... try have someone on speed dial to be by your side in case they do decide to come early. Good luck for the last few weeks (note I said few) xxx
