My new OB called this morning to discuss 'the date' for the c/section. She has decided that it will be on Thursday 28th June at 7am. How very real and scary!
It is interesting to note the differences between hospital / DR policies here. Harry was born at 38 weeks exactly - that was the policy of the hospital in which he was born. Here, the policy is 39 weeks. As my due date is a Saturday, and of course American hospitals don't schedule things for weekends, 28th June will actually be 38 weeks + 5 days. (It's that or 39 + weeks which given my anticoagulant situation they don't want to leave room for nature to get in first). Also, if it were to be 2 days earlier than that they'd require an Amnio to check the baby's lungs were ready to be born as they don't like doing them any earlier than 38 and a half weeks.
