Good luck to you! Do you have to have a c-section, or if you go into labor, will they let you have a vaginal birth?

Thank you Stefanie.

It has to be a c-section. If I go into labor it will then be an emergency c-section. So part of me is hoping I don't go into labor because it'll be more stressful...

But I've had too many surgeries and there is too much opportunity that things won't hold together for a vaginal birth. So the doctor highly recommended a c-section and I am okay with it (considering I am more concerned with the baby and I living through the birth than to go through the experience of a vaginal birth).
Also why I will be having my tubes tied...my body just isn't equipped to have babies  :-(

But, hey, at least I will have 2 healthy and amazing boys to raise :-)  My 1st born is 5 1/2 and is so excited to be a big brother  :-)

Baby dropped at 34 weeks and I was induced at 39. Sorry, does not help.

Thanks for sharing Lianne.

In some ways this is all comforting because I have a major 4 hour computer test on the 13th that I am hoping to get through  :-) So hopefully he will continue to cook just a little bit longer  :-)
