19 days to go- fingers crossed

19 days to go and It will be 36 weeks 2 days of my pregnancy. I will be having a c-section. I have mixed emotions: excited and scared.

Im scared of the following:
1. Bloods... I need 8 units of platelets 4 units of fresh frozen plasma and 2 units of standby whole blood
2. Anesthesia
3. Hemolytic disease of the newborn

I told my hdn concerns to my obgyne, it seems she doesnt care much. She just told me that her sister in law is very diligent. But, diligent does equate to intelligent. Ouch. I wish to have a neonatologist and not a regular pediatrician. I dont know how to request for one without offending my bratty obgyne. I wish I can consult my immunologist first before going into c-section. I dont know why I only trust my fairy godfather? Hmm... Perhaps he is an internist/ immunologist.

I dont want to give my obgyne a chance  to blame ghosts' month for any untowards incident that my happen to me and my baby. I am a believer of ghosts' month. But, I wish to be more practical for the sake of the baby. Premature baby and baby whose blood type is other than o (from blood type o mom) are at risk of jaundice.

I feel the mechanism of RH and ABO agglutination and hemolysis is the same. I feel there is no difference between B and A blood. Grr... Where did she get the excuse that type b blood is more strong? I dont know what is the proper translation for strong? Does she mean more potent? I just shut up and sent her an sms message explaining my side. I feel type o blood has antibody to A and B blood. Hi, obgyne... I feel if my antibodies accidentally goes into my son's blood stream it may cause hemolysis. I am still puzzled why my sister had exchange transfusion. My guess was my mom's antibody had breached into my sister's blood stream. That caused her red blood cells to rupture. And thereby causing her to have too much bilirubin- severe jaundice. But my sister was not breastfeed.

I miss fairy godfather.
