So we went up to the hospital today with Ami to see if we could find out what she is having. The doctor tried for a while to get the baby to cooperate but he/she just kept moving around. We never got a real good look. He said that he is 75% sure it is a girl.. only because he couldn't see any boy parts. Ami was bummed because they really want a boy. But she is going back in two weeks to get the "main" ultrasound where they look at everything really good and measure everything. Hopefully they'll be able to tell at that time. We also stopped in Jackies room and saw her little baby boy! He is so so so stinken cute.. and tiny :)
While I was up there talking to Jackie about the c-section and everything.. I just started to think about how much I DO NOT want to have a c-section if I don't have to. So of course my mind started racing again.. and I couldn't stop thinking about different options. My mom is going to go up north tomorrow to visit my dad, and I was thinking that I could catch a ride up and meet with Dr. Willis one more time to see what he thinks about trying a VBAC. His office said they couldn't get me in to see Dr. Willis till Tuesday.. so I was going to just stay up north for a couple of days. But I have Dr. Willis cell phone number in my phone and texted him to ask if I could ask a question. He called me right away.. and we talked about what I should do. He said that if I want to try a VBAC he would totally be on board. The only problem is, is that the hospital may have a policy in place that says you can't be induced if trying to have a VBAC, because it makes it a little more dangerous. He said that he'd call the hospital to see what he could find out. He also said that I can call him as soon as I get up there tomorrow (even though he doesn't work on Fridays) and he'll come see me to check on things and just talk to me more about it.
So these are my options I believe
1.) Have my scheduled c-section down here in Monticello on Feb. 9 (Yes, I moved it up because I am impatient.)
2.) I start seeing Dr. Willis (my doc up north) every week from here on out and he'll check me everytime to see if I'm dilating or anything. He'll check with American Fork Hospital to see if they will allow me to be induced since I want to have a VBAC. I would only get induced so that Jonathon could take work off and we'd know when to be up there and all that.
3.) I see Dr. Willis every week and hope that little Kinleigh doesn't decide to come while I'm down here in Monticello. Because then I'll just have to have a c-section. Then if American Fork Hospital says I have to go into labor on my own and then I can try a VBAC, I will need to just stay up north (without Jonathon, because he can't miss work for weeks at a time) for the last couple of weeks, go into labor naturally (hopefully the baby doesn't decide to wait too long) and call Jonathon when I go into labor, pray that he makes it up there in time, and also pray that after all this work I have a successful VBAC.
Hopefully I'll know a little more after I talk to Dr. Willis tomorrow. Plus I'll need to check with my little sister to see if she'd mind me staying with her if I had to for a little bit.
My ideal situation would be that American Fork Hospital will allow Dr. Willis to induce me on a certain date.. and that the baby will wait till then, then I have a successful VBAC with my husband and family there :)
