OB appt today...baby still breech. GRR

CeltiCutie

The little stinker is still breech. Doctor isn't worried said she can turn any time now really.  But I am. LOL My chiropractor said last night that the ligament was much looser this time during the Webster Adjustment soooo she should have 'room' to move. I am just hoping she gets herself moving here soon!

BP was 98/64 and I gained 4 lbs. I haven't gained the last 2 appt's so doc was ok with that.

I am trying all the "tricks" to get her to turn so hopefully something will happen soon.

Oh, good luck!  I would be nervous too, but at the same time 8 weeks is a long time and I've heard second babies get themselves ready for birth later because there is more room the second time around so hopefully that's the case with you.

Thanks ladies! You are making me feel better! I just feel like this:

1) it seems so close to me.... (but you are right it is 8 weeks...)

2) I just worry because OF COURSE i'm all prepared and "know" what to expect and this one will change it up. LOL

3) I have always dreaded a csection but the recovery with a 2 y/o on top of it all. EEK.

These are the reasons I am stressing myself. My doctor won't even talk to me about the 'what ifs' if she doesn't turn because she said I need to stop worrying. LOL She says we will get there IF we get there. Period. and I have "plenty" of time. She is right, luckily she knows my personality though. But then I stress cuz I wanna be prepared. LOL I'm a worry wart!

I had a breech baby boy! He was pretty much breech my entire pregnancy. I tried almost EVERYTHING, ugh. Webster technique, homeopathic pulsatilla, tilts, hot/cold compresses, Daddy talking to him down low, playing music down low, visualization, my midwife even tried turning him. He was a stubborn boy and wouldn't budge. I was SO upset that my planned home birth wasn't going to happen, but my amazing midwife knew of a doctor an hour and a half from where I live that did vaginally breech deliveries. I'm so fortunate that I wasn't forced into a c-section and was able to experience giving birth to my perfect little man. Luckily you aren't as far along as I was when I started all the "tricks" to get him to flip. I'm sure you will have success and won't have to worry at all but just know that it is possible avoid a c-section  

 

Best of luck!!

For this I love you. This made me laugh and offered some tricks I haven't tried yet! Thanks! I even sent it to my hubs for a laugh.

yes! That's where I'm getting a lot of my tricks from. Someone on here suggested it before, so I'm trying all that stuff.
