Baby's coming earlier than expected

This past Tuesday G accompanied me to a GYNO & sono appointment. She got to watch the 'black and white baby movie'. It was sooo exciting! The little one was blinking, swallowing with obvious tongue movement, and moving and stretching. Baby gave us both profile and face forward views. It was the most clear sonogram I've seen. When they swallowed we got to watch the liquid enter the mouth proceed down to the stomach. Crazy strange :) The tech said my abnormally high amounts of water made it much easier to see.

After that I shared with the nurse what I've been experiencing: occasional  intense heartburn, frequent pressure and groin pain, fatigue... She took the standard tests and measurements of blood pressure, weight, and urine. She made notes for the doctor and then I waited.

Lastly, I saw the doc. We listened to peanuts heartbeat. Then she explained that my increased discomfort was related to my low placenta and growing baby applying pressure. And further explained that we have shifted from being early in pregnancy - watching the placenta and hoping for upward movement TO preparing for no positive change thus scheduling a c-section. So when I ask. She said at 38 weeks. My inner voice screemed WHAT - YIKES, but I said Oooooookay?! She explained that they   do NOT want labor to start, that they want to avoid hemridging and birth complications. Also that I should be taking it easy! Don't make me put you on bed rest, she added. So we are now considered 'high risk' though both baby and I are currently healthy and growing on target. That darn placenta >:( wish my body was cooporating as well this time as the last two pregnancies. I'm frustrated, disappointed, sad, and scared. Oh, not to mention really anxious.

To sum up: baby growing on target with advanced moving and responses, I have high water levels and a low placenta, at this point in pregnancy (33 weeks) c-section is the plan (for 38 weeks), due date was stated as 5/31 (vs 6/2), so  c-section is trying to be scheduled for Friday 5/16 or Thursday 5/15, and lastly I'm still stuck in my emotional reaction.
