I'll give you $5

if you remember to remind ME to ask my OB about VCI and my questions for my Sept 3rd appt (okay, I'll give $5 to the first person who reminds me on that day.)...

~ I know peapod will be getting growth scans starting at 28 weeks. What if the baby is on the small side due to VCI? Will the baby be taken early? What would be the earliest? (I'll freak if it's before 38 weeks.)

~ If the baby is taken early, will I be induced or will a c-section be necessary?

~ During delivery, will I definitely be able to do a vaginal birth?

~ Is there anything that would necessitate a c-section regarding VCI?

~ Due to the delivery of a placenta with VCI, what will happen if the cord does detach? Will we still try to manually extract it? Or will emergency surgery be necessary?

-- updated due to new info.

~ Growth scans will start at 24 weeks.

~ Cord Compression. Ugh. Lots of questions. Will laying on left side help due to it being on the right side? What is the risk of stillbirth for general public? Can I do anything to decrease this risk?
