The OB appt. went well!
We discussed several things. First, I asked if I could try for VBA2C. The answer was basically no. She said the risk of rupture after a 2nd section was 5-7x higher than after just one. Although I've always wanted to have a VB, I don't think it is worth the risk this time around (plus, I'm getting my tubes tied after this one).
Secondly, we talked about C-section date. She said, so how's Dec 22nd. I said...no!!! She kind of laughed and asked why?? I told her that I'd like to wait 'til after Christmas if possible. She told me I was one of the only people who ever asked to have a C-section AFTER their due date. As of now, it is scheduled for Dec 29th. If I go into labor before, obviously I will have the baby then!
Third, we discussed my upset stomach. She said sometimes heartburn can cause diarrhea. She suggested I take the Zantac everyday, instead of as needed. I have been doing so and it seems to have helped a bit, but still having some stomach issues.
Forth topic was racing! I had mentioned that I did a 5K at 5 weeks, had another one at 9 weeks and 10 weeks. She had no problems with this. Then we talked about Tough Mudder (16 weeks). She thinks it is ok for me to do if I skip the obstacles. I agree and plan on doing it unless I don't feel well or the weather is too hot/cold, etc.
Next appt. is at 12 weeks right after 1st tri screening/u/s.
