My issue with the first wasn't weight but that she was in breech position, too difficult to turn. With my second, I wanted natural, except he turned out to be a big baby and that and other factors led to a 2nd c section. I learned with my 2nd pregnancy that I couldn't let disappointment take over the joy of having a baby. Of course, I didn't want to be cut open. Who does? But it was out of my control and if it meant giving birth to a healthy baby, then I had to leave it in God's hands. I think if you do your part in maintaining your weight, you'll be fine. But don't let that consume you for the next several months. I'm sure mommy and baby will be just fine.

That being said, you have completely different reasons. I hope it goes well & you can keep your weight under 30 lbs! Here's to a seven pound baby!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17769967354682232429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-903965937652386634.post-61073944109874981302008-11-19T10:08:00.000-08:002008-11-19T10:08:00.000-08:00Oh man, I know!!

I was hot. <BR/><BR/>They asked me not to gain more than 25 lbs because I'm so short (5') and I am weighing over 160 now. I go in on Friday and I probably will weigh closer to 170. It's crazy. And scary. I hope I can lose it all again!!! YIKES!<BR/><BR/>And also, this is my first baby. On his measurements he was always around 55% until this last visit when they told me he was more like in the 75%!! GEESH. He was 4.5 lbs like 4 weeks ago and that's what he's "supposed" to be now. Yeah.... fun.AEHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07384189428328951443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-903965937652386634.post-9498513704447231872008-11-19T10:07:00.000-08:002008-11-19T10:07:00.000-08:00Amy, I am one of those c-section moms and I assure...Amy, <BR/><BR/>I am one of those c-section moms and I assure you that I have the pictures of my tummy (staples and all) following the c-section that make a pretty good case for why c-sections are not awesome at all. I have your email address and will send it to you separately...it looks like something out of a shop of horrors chop job. The good news is that today, after all the healing, the scar is barely visible and well below the panty line so I can still wear bikinis! :-) <BR/><BR/>But, I hear ya'...if at all possible avoid the c-section. It's not fun.

I'll be keeping my fingers crossed. And I absolutely offer to be your proxy for the celebratory eating. Shoot me a message when you're happy about something, and I'll have a scoop of ice cream or something for you so you don't have to. :)The Sports Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17975653596215246648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-903965937652386634.post-25690974596492247712008-11-19T09:22:00.000-08:002008-11-19T09:22:00.000-08:00This is why I adopted...well not all the reasons.....This is why I adopted...well not all the reasons...but weight gain (hellloo...I'm fat enough already) plus the pushing a baby out/c-section bit.
