I'm so happy to read this, Sophie! Good luck, and welcome back (I
hope), and I wish that it will be a safe and uneventful and
easy-to-conceive and bedrest-free pregnancy for you guys. :)

Well, Sophie, I really hope that you get a good green light from this
final doc, and that you will be able to enjoy the pregnancy of number 4
without bedrest or complications of any sort.

Did I miss something? I don't remember you having any special risks before.
Hope all goes well, however it turns out!

I think at her last c-section they found that the scar area had become
very thin and potential future pregnancies would be high-risk.

Yep, that was it. The Dr had a tough time sewing me up after Lewis. My
uterus was pretty thin. The Dr at the time said I could get pregnant again
but with bedrest, an amnio to check the lungs, and an early c-section. That
was Opinion #1. Opinion #2 came from my regular Family Practice Dr who said
since I get pregnant easily, have uneventful pregnancies, and don't go into
labor he thought it would be safe. Opinion #3 is with an OB next week.

Oh, gosh, on top of everything else! I'm sorry to hear that.

On the bright side, Angela was told at her second C-section, with the twins,
that her scar area from her first was very thin, but when she had an ultrasound
before her current baby was born, they said the new scar was quite thick. She
had a successful VBAC after two sections. Not that you want to go for a VBAC,
but it proves that her scar really was in good shape.

I hope all goes well.

I'd feel better about it all if they'd offer to do ultrasounds to check the
scar periodically. I'll bring that up at my appointment.

Yeah, considering everything with Lewis' birth we're a little nervous about
going through with it at this hospital. But we've heard the insurance
company will be changing, also any babies due in June/July 2004 are
automatically being born at the hospital in town. Plus people at the
Patient Advocacy Office at the hospital remember us - lol - so I think we'll
be okay. If this Dr says yes I'd love a 4th :)

Good luck Sophie. Let us know what Dr#4 says. :o)
