Welp, here we go again…
Just got out of my prenatal appointment and the doctor confirmed again through an ultrasound that this little brat has turned once again! Back into the breech position smh. C-section is scheduled for this Thursday, 7/11 at 9am.
We also have the hospital tour scheduled for today at 6pm.
Fun fact: I’ve always told my friends and family that I’ll be delivering him on 7/11, because I’ve always craved for the 7/11 slurpee and taquitos.
Great news! Doctor confirmed through an ultrasound this morning at my prenatal follow up appointment that my baby has turned! Woohoo! His head is finally down, so that means I could be going into labor any day now. Although due date isn’t until 7/14. My scheduled c-section is now canceled, VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean) it is. Keeping my fingers crossed for this one! 🤞🏽
I really hope and pray that this VBAC goes through. I’m really not looking forward to staying in the hospital for 3-4 nights if I have a c-section.

Only 9 more days to go!
As much as I would love to meet him already, I also just want to keep him in there, nice and safe. Because once he make his entry into the world, I know there are things I can’t protect him from.
The world isn’t always the beautiful place it was created to be.
Most deadbeat dads are narcissist men and often mommy’s boy with daddy issues seeking comfort through different women aka my BABY DADDY!
So my baby’s father and I aren’t together. I’ve moved out since I was 2 months pregnant. Don’t want to get into why but I get nightmares when he even texts me. I thought being single and pregnant would be terribly lonely but it’s actually been great. I’ve been enjoying this whole pregnancy in peace. I am scheduled for a c-section next week, Tuesday 7/9 @ 12:30, so I’m not worried about labor at all. But I don’t want to be alone. Since my family is not close by, I had no choice but to ask him to drop me off. Now the big question is, is he going to stay for the birth of his child?
He has been to just 2 appointments but even then doesn’t seem like he cares like as if I obligated him to do so. He doesn’t ask or check up about the baby. I got all my necessities for the baby myself or from the baby shower & I’ve honestly done everything myself. I don’t know why I still want him to be involved even tho he doesn’t care but I’m conflicted. I don’t know wether I want him to be there during labor because I grew hate for him, I feel like he doesn’t deserve to be there and I feel like he will just stress me out. However I don’t want to wrong for my son.. any opinions?
