Okay, this little one is becoming high maintenance! We had our ultrasound on Monday and she is a little over 6lbs right now. She looked so cute. Brad and I could see her little mouth moving, her cute little chin, her little round cheeks. I can't wait to kiss that face. But she is breech! Our doctor thought for the past five weeks she was head down.
We've scheduled an External Version procedure for Friday morning. From those who have done this I am told it is less than pleasant. Actually one woman said "It hurts like blankety blank." I may have paraphrased that. Basically they will give me a drug to relax the uterus, then the doctor will try to manipulate my belly to get the baby to turn. If she turns...great! We go back to waiting for labor to begin. If she doesn't turn, we'll schedule a c-section for late next week probably.
So if you don't mind, we'd appreciate good thoughts and prayers that this baby wants to turn on Friday! I have tried all other methods - playing music low on my tummy, shining a light low on my tummy, yoga. I am looking around for a good acupuncturist. I read that acupuncture can make a baby turn. Anyone know one in Tulsa?
