OT baby coming on Sunday

Much to our surprise, we are scheduled to deliver by c-section at 9am
Sunday morning. I will be exactly 37 weeks and we had an amnio today to
check for lung maturity, which came back fine. We only found out for
definite that a c-section would be best 8 days ago, at which point we
thought it would be the end of the coming week, but then on Tuesday our
doctor expressed that she didn't feel comfortable with the risks of
waiting that long and that we'd do the amnio and give steroids if it was
necessary and deliver on Sunday either way. 37 week babies are still
more likely to need NICU admission even with mature lungs, so we'd
appreciate prayers that the baby will be fine and also that I'd be able
to be awake for the surgery, there are some possible anaethesia issues
and I really do want to see the birth.

Cheers
Anne

Really hoping all will be well and that you both recover well and
quickly.
I'm so glad you won't have to go through the pushing etc that did such
damage to you before.
Take care and let us know just as soon as you can.

Well very good luck and good wishes from Cornwall Anne. How very excited you
all must be. These happy events ( I was 43) when my last unexpected arrived,
turn out to be the best thing ever.

Hello Anne,

Just wondering if everything went OK last Sunday.
Are Mother and baby alright?
