Breech?

Yes this is the news that we received yesterday at the doctor. The baby is breech-meaning the feet would come out first if I were to deliver. So....if I go into labor while the baby is breech, I will have to have a c-section. YUCK. My doctor may want to try to physically turn the baby in a week if she doesn't move herself. I am not too sure if I want this done or not. It can cause complications with the baby and it is pretty painful from what the doctor says. Let me just say this. When I found out that I was expecting this baby, I woke up in the middle of the night with a feeling that something was going to go very differently with this pregnancy. Of course, I didn't know what it was, but when I found out I had gestational diabetes I thought maybe this was the "different" feeling that I was having. Now could it be that I will have to have a c-section? True, the delivery isn't as painful, but the recovery of having surgery is much more painful than a few minutes of pushing. So we go back on Tuesday to see if she has turned herself or not. As for me, I am going to be doing some research on the "physical" turning that the doctor wants to try, and a lot of praying.

I heard the good news that your new little girl is good at flips!! Hope she now has gymnastics out of her system (at least until she arrives!). Hang in there Susan, it won't be long!!
Love to all of you,
