about

I am 48 years old (yes that's old compared to some of you).


I have worked in nursing and/or healthcare management positions for 24 years. Primarily OB, Neonatal, Mental Health, Occupational Health and Geriatrics. In Jan 2008 I started my own business to board horses and do equine/human education. I am also a certified dog trainer.


I've been around the block so to speak and seem to be always helping others. I've been told that the reason people seek me out for advice is that I am approachable and caring. But on the same token even though I consider the person's feelings. I tell it like I see it. I've dealt with people in trouble with the law, dysfunctional families such as those with abuse & marriage problems. Not to mention problems with employees and employers.


I don't ever claim to know it all, and always keep an open mind.

advice

I wonder, if they think the baby will be too big after the sonogram, what is the possibility of having to be induced?

I forgot to tell you that this is my first pregnancy.

Since babies gain weight fairly rapidly in the last 4 weeks this could be a possibility. The Dr might induce you no more than 10 days early. However I believe the best plan of action would be to determine the exact due date and schedule a c-section before that time...if in fact the doctor determines delivery would be difficult.
