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
