Today in Childbirth class we did more of the same stuff and then learned about C-sections. I probably wouldn't have paid much attention to this part of the class, because the idea of a C-section really creeps me out. But I've heard that women with Gestational Diabetes have a higher chance of having a large baby and therefore are at an increased risk of having to have a C-section. So, I paid a little closer attention because of that. But I really, really, really, really don't want to have to have a C-section.
They showed a computer simulation of what would happen during a C-section and I have to say it seemed pretty horrible! So, yeah, I want to avoid it if at all possible. Mike was like, "Hopefully it doesn't, but we shouldn't worry about it because if it happens, it happens, it's not that bad." I said, "You're right, I shouldn't worry about it. But tell me, how would you feel if I cut your stomach open while you're concious and took something out of you?" He conceded to my premise.
Anyway, at 24 weeks Alexia was on the small side of normal, so lets hope that trend continues. Keep your fingers crossed for me that everything goes smoothly and no C-section is needed.
