<t>my son was just born 10 days ago and i had the same dilemna as you. we ended up delivering at 36+6, he spent one night in the nursery under observation for "wet lungs" due to the c-section delivery and then roomed in with us until we came home. i am sooooooo glad we made the decision to go ahead ...

<t>quick message here but wanted to let u all know our son (still unnamed) made it here safe and sound this morning by c-section at 37 weeks -- he weighed a whopping 7lbs 8oz! he gave a vigorous cry when he arrived but soon showed signs of fluid stuck in his lungs so he's been transfered to another ...

<t>you all have made me feel so much better about our decision! my gut was telling me to go ahead with this tomorrow but i really needed to hear some others who've BTDT -- so thank you!!! <br/> <br/> i really could not have gone through this pregnancy without you all, coming here has been invaluable...

i love your sense of humor, happy birthday!!! motherhood is the best gift ever, that's for sure!

<t>After the 24 hour hospital stay last weekend, I've been on strict bedrest at home and twice weekly monitoring (NST, b/w, urines, BP), tuesdays at the hospital and fridays at the doctor's office. So far my protein level is hovering around 140 without any other "PE" symptoms except high blood press...
