37 Weeks and Wondering Where to Go from Here...

We had our 37 week appointment today and everything was fine and dandy. Weight still just about the same, my blood pressure was 120/76 (not sure thats right, but thats what the nurse said it was) and baby's heartrate sounded good and strong as usual! Thats really all that happened at the appointment today though so now we wait to see where we go from here.

I had an appointment with my psychiatrist yesterday afternoon and we talked about the type of delivery I was confortable with. I have always wanted a C-section since I thought about having children. I am extremely uncomfortable with having a vaginal delivery and it has to do with a trauma I experienced as a young child. I'm not going to get into it, but my Dr feels that I could have a psychiatric break down if I were to go through a vaginal delivery as it would flare up post traumatic stress disorder. He wrote a letter to my OB Dr to explain to them that he felt an alternative delivery would be optimal. I gave the letter to Dr. Basso because I feel she cares about us and is considerate of my well being. So now we sit and wait and hope to hear what we are going to do. I just gave her the letter today and I'm hoping she is willing to work something out with me. I'm sure she will call my psychiatrist to get a better understanding of the situation and then we will discuss what will happen.

I know this update is very vague but the only thing that is important is that in the next few days we could be deciding on a date to have a C-Section. If we don't, I'm not sure what I am going to do... I'm not mentally capable of delivering this baby vaginally...
