Doctor's visit went well on Tuesday. We clarified a few things. Primarily, the question of "do all of your organs get taken out and put on your chest during a c-section?" Christian had heard this from a few people. I had done some "research" involving numerous google searches. Our doctor explained that the only organ to be removed from the abdomen was the placenta and then the uterus. The uterus is removed because it is easier to close it outside of the abdomen. We also learned that some doctor's will just open, get out baby and then close a few layers that they cut through to get to the baby. This does not sound like much fun. Fortunately, for us, our doctor says that she goes through each layer and closes them all. She also doesn't use staples which is a good thing. Staples in my abdomen may make me queasy.
My blood pressure and the baby's heart beat are all on track. And Dr. Siarezi told us that we have gotten further in the pregnancy than 80% of women with the placenta previa. So, that's great!
Now, about this baby. She moves around the most when I am lying down. She also does not like it when I compress myself too much, so if i'm sitting in a chair, she'll kick and flail until I give her a bit more room. She also does not like to perform. I've been able to feel various body parts. I think, primarily, a knee. But when Christian goes to feel it, she is shy and stops moving. She has the hiccups daily and it's going to be weird to not feel these things once she's out.
The other night Christian couldn't sleep and she put her hand on my belly to see if the baby was awake too. She said that she had the hiccups and that I slept right through them. She doesn't understand how it doesn't wake me up. She said that she had the hiccups for about fifteen minutes.
I can't believe that after all of these months there are only a few weeks left.
