36 weeks
So here we are in the home stretch folks. I can't believe how quickly I am approaching the end of this pregnancy. My midwife did our home visit today and brought us the birth pool and supplies. On Sunday this baby can legally be born at home. And then has 5 weeks to do so.
Unfortunately, this stubborn girl is STILL breech. I have been trying really hard to remain positive but it is seriously stressing me out. I just want to enjoy these last weeks of pregnancy and instead all of my mental energy is going to thinking about this. I am doing all I can to try to get her to turn--hypnosis, breech tilt, acupuncture, acupressure, chiropractor, etc, etc... Next week if she is still breech we will be going to see an OB at the University of Utah who will try to turn her by doing an external version. I really hope it doesn't come to that.
So please, please, please pray that she will turn by next week. And pray for me that I can stay sane during all this drama. Why can't I have nice, boring pregnancies?

ReplyDeleteif it's any consolation, my husband was born breech. not fun...but possible! but here's hoping & praying that she turns!
ReplyDelete(at least you're not on bedrest again, right?! hopefully active movement will shake that girl down!)
Good luck, dearest. I'll be praying for you.
ReplyDeleteAnd just for the record, sometimes I ask myself the same question... ;)
Breech still huh? sheesh baby turn already!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you've already heard this or it may not even help your situation, but when we had troubles with Peanut turning (she was sunny-side up) I did a lot of pelvic rocks.
ReplyDeleteturn little baby, turn. sending positive thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeletethanks again so much for coming to take the photos. it was so fun to chat and i really appreciate you taking the time to come.
You know, everything happens for a reason. I've also heard of positive external turning outcomes, FYI. I hope you have the delivery you desire and what's best for baby. Sending positioning vibes!!!!!
