Can't stand the uncertainty

blueshamrock7 · May 2012

So I posted on Monday that we found out in just the past week, the baby flipped to breech. Boo. They almost immediately scheduled my c-section (double boo) for May 21st (due May 26th) to try and avoid my going into labor on my own with a breech baby -- understandable.

This morning, I had to go in and meet with the OB doing the c-section, sign paperwork, ask any questions, etc. I found out that at my 38 week appointment (this Tuesday), they will do another ultrasound to see if she has flipped on her own. If she has flipped back to head down, then they will cancel the c-section. If she is still breech, we will follow the routine as normal and go to the hospital for the c-section. When we get there, they will do another ultrasound to see if she has flipped (OB said at that point, it would be unlikely) and if she has... they will just send me home! Obviously, this would be ideal... but I hate not knowing what will happen in the end!

Boy, these babies are already controlling our fates and they aren't even born yet! :-)

"these babies are already controlling our fates and they aren't even born yet"

So true!

Well technically if she just did her little flip to be breech then that was probably unlikely too right? So maybe she just likes to go against the odds and will flip again. I have known people whose babies flip at the end. But yes the uncertainty would be eating at me too.

I am sorry! I feel your pain. With my oldest, they did that. They did an u/s in the operating room. Hang in there mama! Your little Julia Claire will be worth all the trouble, but you know that!
