f/u: Still breech

Well, stubborn baby #2 is still breech. It looks like we'll be having this baby on Thursday, which is my due date funny enough. I'm still working on trying to get him to flip and not dwell on the c-section so much. It's hard to do though. I knew going into my appointment yesterday that he was in the same position and a c-section was likely to happy, but I was so disappointed. I couldn't talk on the way home for fear of breaking down. I tried talking to DH about how hard this is on me but it's hard for him to understand. This is most likely our last baby and I hate feeling like another birth is being stolen from me. I was going to talk to my midwife about letting me go into labor first but DH is very against that since the hospital we are using is over an hour away. *sigh*

    Oh I am so sorry ((hugs)).  It's so hard for the DH's to understand.  My DH totally does not get my feelings of loss from my 2 c/s.  He tries to understand, but can't. 

    I will say that one thing that helped me was telling the doctors/nurses exactly what I wanted or didn't with regards to my 2nd c/s.  My 2nd c/s was a failed VBAC attempt, but as soon as we decided on the section, I rattled off the stuff I did and didn't want.  Every request was granted except for one (I wanted my regular OB to do the section. He couldn't get away from his patients quickly enough to scrub in although he did stop in the OR to see me and talk to me).

     GL to you and congrats on your little one!

    I''m so sorry about your baby being breech.  Good luck with your csection on thursday.  And on a positive side my 2nd C was amazing compared to my first.  Honestly it was way easier than I thought it would be.  Here's to hoping you have a quick and easy recovery.  Please come back and post a birth story, I'd love to read it!

    Sorry to hear that.  It must be so frustrating to plan and prep for a VBAC, then not even get to try.  I wish you a speedy recovery!!

    Is there any reason why they won't allow to go longer?  What if you baby is one of those that flip at the onset of labor or during labor and that time is not until 41 weeks or so?

    An interesting read about breech:  https://birthwithoutfearblog.com/2011/09/06/breech-birth-statistics/

    Will they wait and let you go into labor before making you have a c/s?

    Yeah, I would think they would let you go past 40 weeks (maybe 41). 

    And, IMO, an hour is plenty of time to get to the hospital if you go into labor.  If you go from early labor to pushing in 60min, then you are a rockstar!  I can understand your DH's fears, but, you will have time to work with.

    Good luck with what you decide, (((hugs)))
