Here's a quick update on a few new developments today!
Anesthesiologist
We met with an anesthesiologist today and went over our plan for Monday. The plan is
to take me off of the Heparin drip six hours before getting a spinal. My blood
will be drawn about four hours after I am taken off Heparin just to make sure
it’s all out of my system and Will resume Heparin drip 12 hours after
c-section.
OBGYNs
I just love my OBGYN group. Of the five doctors, three of them came by at
various times today to check on me. My doctor told me that she and one of the
other doctors have decided that it will be best to do the caesarian with a
vertical incision, versus the “bikini line”, horizontal incision. I guess it
tends to bleed less and with me being on blood thinners and going back on them
soon after the surgery, they both feel safest doing that. Plus, it’s easier to
bring a bigger baby out of the vertical incision.
Hematologist
We met again with the hematologist and didn’t learn anything new. He was
basically just coming by to check on me. He said he will probably be by one
last time before the c-section, but that he agrees with the rest of my doctors
with the six hours before and twelve hours after surgery Heparin drip decision.
Thank You
Thanks again for all the prayers, emails, texts, calls, etc.
