Hi don't be sad.I'm having C sect on 21/4 (37 wks)due to Group B Strep bacteria.
My edd is on 12/5.I requested C sect for safety of bb as I dun want to take any risk.
My 2 boys will deliver naturally.So is kind of scary for me to go C sect awake.
Protein helps to gain baby weighs,I m trying to eat as much protein as possible now.(he is 2.1kg at 34wks)
As long as baby is healthy and born after 37 weeks (consider full term).Big or small
baby is nothing matter,as long as healthy.
This is what my Dr said.
If u really worry maybe u can ask for 2nd Dr opinion.
My 2nd boy,Dr said v big coz my tummy n hb big sizes so maybe he is guessing.
After heard what he said we bought a super big pram.
During labour he said head v big may need C sect.
End up my bb weighs 2.85kg only ,head not big and born at 38wks 3days.
Natural no C sect.
My current Dr is gd,dun talk so much or frighten u.
Before that I see 2 Dr,due to my age 43,keep telling and advise me I easy miscarriage gv me duphaston ,I will have higher chance to get down syndrome bb ask me do xx amino test at 13 weeks?? or amino xxx test on 20weeks...eventhough I have firmly rejected to do any test.
I was so stress and frighten.I changed to this Dr,he respected my decision not to test anythings.Each appt I was relax unlike previous was much in stress and sad coz keep
saying negative things due to my age.
* I also order nata essential.
#Btw my advise to all pregnant mother after 32 weeks must test for Strep B bacteria.
Is a serious bacteria that will cause harm to baby lung and brain so is no joke.
