I lost the will to fight my doctor this week.
I was all prepared to go into my doctor for a fight, with research on why babies do better when they stay in longer and a list of things I was going to do to prevent going into labor. And then two days ago, I broke out in a horrible, itchy hive-like rash all over my belly.
It's a condition called PUPPP, and while it's not harmful to me (or the baby), I'm miserable. And the only fix is to have the baby.
So, when I went in to the doctor today, I told her she could take him now. Right then. Anything to stop the itching.
(Apparently, I'm not the sacrificial-type of mom).
I'm (obviously) not having the c-section today. However, the amnio is scheduled for the 23rd, and if all goes well, he will be born on the 25th.
Crossing my fingers his lungs are done.

You and the baby are in our prayers!
Oh, I am so sorry. I know how terrible the itching can be. Loose clothing and cold really helped me.
If it makes you feel any better, I told Dr. Erickson that I wanted to deliver Matt early just to stop the itching.
