Pregnant after IF

I feel like nothing pregnancy related can go right for me. First, I can't get pregnant naturally and now there's a good chance I won't be able to deliver naturally (vaginally) either.
Baby girl is being very stubborn. She keeps flipping from breech to transverse but will never go head-down.
I have a u/s scheduled for tomorrow morning and if she's not head-down, the c/s date will be scheduled. Heck, I'm worried that even if she does get head down by tomorrow, she'll just flip again. Just today alone she started transverse, went breech at the appt and is now back to transverse. This kid needs a GPS to find her way!
So, I'm just throwing myself a pity party. My mother had no issues getting pregnant and vaginally birthed 5 kids. Here I am having delt with IF and with what may be my 1 and only baby, I won't even be able to have that opportunity to birth the way that women's bodies are made to. And, if by some miracle I even get pregnant again, I'll most likely need another c/s as my OB's practice is not too keen on VBACs.
If you made it through this, have some pizza

Re: Pity Party
Isn't it the fact that she keeps flipping a good thing? As in she can get head down anytime?
And hopefully you can arrange with your OB that, even if they schedule a c-section, if she is head down at that time they let you try a vaginal delivery. It's worth a try.
TTC since 1/2008
oh hun, I'm right there with ya. Even though my little guy finally flipped I'm worried he'll go back as my Dr said its very possible. So theyve left my C section date on the books. Everyone keeps telling me "as long as they get him out safely" and I totally get that, but I still don't want a c section and just wished my little guy would cooperate and stay head down.
Thanks for the slice, it was good
IUI#2 - 01/07/09 = BFP!!! Twins!! Pre-term labor 20 weeks
IUI#3 - 1/31/10 = BFP!!!! M/C - 8wks
IVF #1 - 7/2010 = c/p
FET - 9/2010 = another c/p
IUI#4 - 2/14/11 = BFP!
It is, but they say that as time goes on/she gets bigger, the chances are slim that she will actually get there.
I'm hoping that they let me schedule it for as late as possible ( as close to 40 weeks) so that she has more time but they tend to do breech c/s between 38-39 so that the chances of going into labor while the baby is breech is slimmer.

I think you deserve the pizza!
I am with you all the way! I feel terrible complaining about any of this pregnancy stuff but you know what...I say it took me so long to get pregnant my pregnancy should be perfect right?? HA! Ya right!
Good Luck lady! We found out our little man is butt down and will NOT move so c/s for us for sure
Always remember, everything happens for a reason!
11/2010 DH SA good...01/2011 HSG is clear...01/2011 Consult with RE
suprise BFP but m/c on 2/7/11
03/2011 50 mg clomid=BFN
04/2011 clomid+bromocriptine+IUI=BFP at 11dpiui
Beta #1(11dpiui)=33, Beta #2 (13dpiui)=96, Beta #3 (20dpiui)=1910, Beta #4 (26dpiui)=20,134
So sorry that the LO's not cooperating with her positioning. I TOTALLY understand being disappointed about having to go c/s versus vaginal.
I had fully planned on a VBAC for this birth, but at nearly 41 weeks and zero progress, my OB scheduled the c/s (I was not a candidate for induction). I was so upset and felt like my only chance to do something not controlled by medicine with the pregnancy had been taken away.
I'll be sending T&Ps that your little girl makes a turn head down, and even more, that she stays that way!!! One good thing, either way, you'll be meeting her soon.
Enjoy your pizza!
This is EXACTLY how I feel. I feel like my body is making me a failure as a woman and I need medical help for everything that a "normal" woman can do naturally.

after anovulatory diagnosis and TTC for 1 1/2yrs with several medicated cycles and one chemical pregnancy, we have our first bundle of joy!
IT'S A GIRL!
#2 EDD 2/5/13 dx with anti-BIG E antibody, seeing a MFM
I don't take one single minute for granted.
This is not what you want to hear but your comment about her needing a GPS to find he way made me actually laugh out loud.
Onto a more serious note: I am so sorry your having to go through this hun. I really hope and pray that she decides to turn head down before it's c/s time! ((Hugs))
