I just returned from the doctor after having an ultrasound.
Breech.
Bottom down.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Danielle did this. Is it genetic? Why am I more inclined to have breech versus someone else? With Danielle, I went to the hospital and they performed an inversion and were able to turn her and immediately induce me. OUCH! Everything went fine. She came out screaming and has been spunky ever since. And, I had a lot of amniotic fluid so the inversion was "easy" (easy as far as inversions go).
Yah, I'm pretty low on the amniotic fluid. That makes inversions a little more difficult. I asked how I could increase my fluids. Rest. How do you do that with four small children? My mom is coming tomorrow so I can "rest". Hopefully all goes well. I'm not sure if having been through this before makes me more emotional or not. I think since I know what can happen and since I read up a lot on it after I had it happen with Danielle, it makes me nervous.
All will go well. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Good luck! I've only seen an inversion on TV (courtesy of A Baby Story), and the mother-to-be was totally stoic throughout it, but the nursing staff kept going on and on about how heroic she was. Here's hoping the baby miraculously turns on its own.
oh steph! I hope that everything goes well. How much longer do you have? Hopefully with your mom around you will get some rest. :) Sorry I am not around to help out. I wish I could in times like these.
Steph! Sophie was breech up until the last month of my pregnancy. They told me to lay on my left side ALWAYS and during the day spend a lot of time on my hands and knees - "horsey position" - to use gravity to your advantage and get the baby "floating" so he can turn. Like 20 minutes at a time. I will add you to my prayers so you can have this baby the way you want to have him.
Wow, kinda crazy! Hopefully he'll flip around all on his own.
We're a little envious of your new shed. Matt keeps talking about building one but that'll be a bit down the road.
Steph- I am praying for you and am looking forward for you to have this baby here safe and sound. I know that what ever happens the Lord will bless you and all will be well. The kids are looking forward to playing tomorrow so send them over!!!
