C section

I didn't know my baby was breech until her foot dropped from my cervix. I was induced and about 4 cm. I was scared and upset b/c I wasn't prepared for one. I asked my OB for a follow up ultrasound weeks before my water broke. He said he didn't think there was a need baby is healthy etc. I feel if we knew she was breech. We could have turned her and avoided a C-section, maybe?? Not real happy with my OB.

Re: C section

  • I'm kinda confused...so your OB knew ahead of time or at induction? If you knew with time, yes I would think they would attempt to turn baby or at least prepare you. If it was at induction, not sure what the protocol is there. 
  • Why did you ask for the ultra sound? My first flipped about 3 days before my due date, so an ultra sound weeks before might not have detected that your child was breech.
