Planned C-section
Looks like I'm developing the early stages of Toxemia (Preeclampsia). My feet and legs are so swollen that they look like one big sausage. Blood pressure is OK for now but there has been concern about protein in the urine which is another sign of toxemia. Our doctor recommened that we plan to have a C-section on Feb 9th at 8:00 am if they haven't arrived before then. I'll be 37 weeks at that time which is term for twin pregnancy. And because both girls are in the breech position a C-section is better than inducing and trying to deliver butt first, which is just too much of a risk for the babies health. Wish us luck!
