she says i measure 40 wks....she is sending me for another glucose tolerance test...i had one at around 26 wks it was fine - i gained 6 lbs last month and 9 this month for a total of 25 lbs so far....

she also told me that because my son was a c-section and due to the size of this baby, she is just gonna book me an appointment to get baby by c-section this time...

my questions are these...

she moved the date of section up from my due date - is this due to the size of baby - and are there risks to having a too big baby? does she maybe want to take it out early because of this?

and is it normal for a dr to just schedule a section (second child)? she said she doesnt think i will be able to deliver naturally - she was quite sure of it...

and btw - for anyone who was following my leaking fluid msgs...she took more samples to be sure there was no infection - but she also said she thinks it is normal mucus....
