Pre-Delivery Jitters

on Monday, June 11, 2012

Went for my monthly gynae visit over the weekend. Dr. Benjamin says Cameron is growing well; good size, good weight. Phew, and to think I was worried that I wasn't gaining enough weight.

Good news is, Dr. Benjamin says if we're going C-section, the EDD can be brought forward  :). Previously, the EDD was 27 September, but now we can bring it forward to 18 September earliest!

Bad news is, I'm starting to dread the delivery  :(. I've always had an innate fear for giving birth. It wasn't so much of an issue in the first half of the pregnancy because it always seemed so far away. But now that I'm entering week 25, it's starting to become very real. Call me a coward but I'm taking the easy way out by going C-section. I know I know, there are  risks involved and the recovery is more painful post surgery but to me, it's better than going through the whole pushing and screaming trauma.

Sigh, so wished there was an easier way to give birth.
