out of curiosity, when you were trying for a VBAC, at what point did they just call for the c/s in regards to her being breech? I know we still have a lot of time before she has to be head down, but pretty much this whole pregnancy, she's been head up. In fact, if I do any kind of bridge pose or anything in pilates or yoga that inverts her, she gets pissed off and starts kicking me.
Was it like at 38 weeks and they said, nope, she's breech, just schedule the c/s or did they let you go into labor on your own?

It's all so fuzzy now so I might be off a bit. But I think it was at the last growth ultra-sound at 36 weeks (we opted not to have one at 32 weeks) when we realized she was breech. She was all for allowing me to wait up until my due date to see if she turned (I want to say she would have allowed me to go past my due date but don't quote me on that). Like I said I agonized for a while hoping that she would turn but at each appointment nothing changed. Then I started thinking that if I did end up having a c-section anyway on my due date things would be a bit more complicated for Gideon. He was about to start playing soccer and another session of his music class would be starting in a few weeks, so I figured if she hadn't turned at this point I might as well have the procedure, get myself together and healed get used to life with two kids; and that way Gideon wouldn't miss out on too much. And luckily I was well enough to attend his first soccer practice ten days after my c-section and drive us to music class within the same month. If I didn't have Gideon and his schedule to consider I would probably have waited it out until the very last minute.
Sorry so long, I hope I answered your questions, I tend to ramble these days...lol. Good luck, and turn baby turn
that's very good information, thank you!
I read last night that most babies are head down by 36 weeks, with the last few being down by 38 weeks. If you make it to 38 weeks with a breech, it's a very good chance they'll stay that way. So we have about ten more weeks for her to settle head down, thankfully.
I'm glad the c/s was on your terms. I think that's one of the things I'm trying to deal with from Marion is that none of it was anything I had a choice in because it was all done for my health and for her health.
