The doctors have finished their round of fisticuffs and have finally agreed to disagree. With mild pre-eclampsia there are very few absolutes in treatment so every doctor has a different opinion on the best course of action. Most of these opinions are conflicting but equally valid. I have discovered that medicine is less a practice of science and more a practice of throwing darts at a Merck Manual.
Anyway, the dueling doctors compromised on a new induction date of August 13th. Until then, I’m back in my world of pee jugs, frequent doctor visits and tests, and trying to figure out how to give birth by watching A Baby Story on TLC (sic) and by googling “how to give birth”.
If Alexander shows any signs of problems, or if my condition worsens, they will move to deliver right away. Assuming we stay on course, we should have our boy here (‘for reals’ this time) on around August 14th. He will weigh about 32 lbs.
