How do we know?
The month of March was a whirlwind!
After visiting the doctor several times a week for NST's and lab work, it was soon time to make a decision about my health and our baby's health.
On Monday, March 19th I spoke with my doctor at Pinewest and I was informed that my liver enzymes were elevated again. Due to the elevated liver enzymes, Doctor O'Keeffe gave Branden and I the option of a c-section on Wednesday, March 21st or the option to wait another week and deliver on March 28th. During a long conversation, Branden and I contemplated on whether waiting another week to deliver would put me at risk for health problems, but we were also concerned with the health risk for Jaxon.
We had many questions and concerns about the birth of our child.
Would Jaxon be okay if we delivered at 37 weeks?
Should we wait until 38 weeks, even if it meant putting me and my health at risk? How do we know if we are making the right decision?
Are his lungs developed enough for delivery?
Will he need to be transferred to Brenners?
Branden and I made the decision to celebrate Jaxon's birthday on Wednesday,
March 21, 2012. Jaxon's delivery was scheduled for 8:15am @ HP Regional.
