With #3 we scheduled for 37w5d but ended up doing the c/s at 37w3d due to me being in early labor...and as my OB said, if I was already 4cm and had been in the hospital 2x overnight with preterm labor, why wait 2 more days? <br /><br />I personally believe the risk of laboring with a classical incision is inflated a bit. Every actual peer review study I was able to find had the risk of rupture at 2.2-3%, not the 7 -8% that's quoted. It was still a high enough risk of rupture that I had repeat c/s 2x, but neither of my OBs thought it was a big enough risk to schedule me for 36 weeks. <br /><br />I was on the normal schedule of seeing my OB with both kids by the third trimester, although with #3 I ended up seeing him a bit more than normal due to preterm labor from 32 to 37 weeks. I did NOT have a cerclage though and don't know anything about why they would/would not remove it at 36 weeks :/ <br /><br />I would have a really frank conversation with your OB about your fears and hopefully he/she can help you two come to a plan you're both okay with? **hugs**Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04313651557737242622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2952491439420549812.post-82139951905976116052012-11-18T16:39:53.531-06:002012-11-18T16:39:53.531-06:00I would talk to your doctor and demand to be seen ...I would talk to your doctor and demand to be seen every week. You are too close to delivery to be stressed out and worried. The protein thing happened to me too with my insulin controlled gestational diabetes, and no one seemed that concerned but me--neither my obgyn or my endocrinologist. However, I did see my doctor every week starting at 32 weeks and had weekly biophysical profiles too. While I haven't had a cerclage, my understanding is that they are removed so that your body will go into labor. So, if you are preventing labor, that may be why they are waiting to remove it. Also, doctors are waiting until 38 weeks or more to do C-sections. Even though my baby was born at 35 weeks, she was and is still considered a preemie by all doctors and our insurance. It seems rather ridiculous considering what others like yourself have gone through in regards to premature babies. My doctor said she will never do a Csection unless medically necessary before 37 weeks on the second one because of this. Hope this helps. . .and the one thing I learned in my high risk pregnancy, is CALL and go in at the least bit of concern. My high-risk doctor gave me that piece of advice. It's your baby and all they can do is tell you to go home:)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
