16-7-2008 - Breech!

My mood while writing this blog:
Pooh!

So, just returned from Dr... "Turkey Ty" is still breech. But he is sure cute... he was waving! :) Dr. M said he is a "good sized baby" - could be 8 lbs at birth. All of mine were at least 8, the last being over 9. I would feel like he was puny if he wasn't at least 8!

But with the breech issue, he said that with the room currently allowable, he would want to try the manual manipulation this FRIDAY or next MONDAY morning. I instantly tensed up! It is too soon! My baby shower is Saturday and Tom took off next week so that we can finish getting everything ready for baby... He also said that I may bruise but it would go away. What?? I understand that it is painful but I wasn't prepared for that... and then with the possibility of going into premature labor or still ending up with a C-section after all that... ... I just don't think I want to do that today...

Does anyone have some wisdom to add? I feel kind of lost.

We go in again next week. If Ty is STILL breech (and Dr M said at this point he probably will be) then we schedule a CS. POOH!

I assented to God's will (always perfect and always on time!) again while I hung some laundry out in a cool evening breeze. (I have a little habit of hanging out clothes overnight and bringing them in in the am. They smell so delicious and I avoid the heat!! :)

Not exactly the news we hould want to hear from dear old doc but we both know God's will his way is the best way. Pray about the manipulation thing as it may work and you will not have to go through a c-section. I'll be praying that God leads and guides you in the direction he wants you in! All things work together....you know the rest ;)

Awww...Well, I know this is not the news you wanted to hear. Though just give yourself some time to vent about it. Do some research on this manipulation thing as well. Sometimes we don't agree with God's plans, but he always does what is best for us. I am just praying that God's will be done in this situation. Nobody ever looks forward to having to have surgery, but just think you are getting a beautiful baby!
I am praying for you! We love ya!

So sorry. It's so lame when things don't go according to plan. Not even close! I was transverse most of the time and he turned just before...so there's always hope. Course he's no. 4. so it does make a diff. Best wishes that all works out!

Mmm.....well Tisha's little Erin was transverse for a long time. Little Johnny was transverse for a couple weeks in week 30+...Tish was going in for her manipulation and Erin had turned. I dunno know what to tell you. I would google the process or call your doctor and ask them to describe exactly what happens/side effects etc. Ask your doctor what he would do if it was his child. Don't be scared of a c-section honey...if that is what is meant to happen...it will. It's hard to say don't be scared, but having the possibility of scheduling one verses an emergency one is so much better. Yes, it is major surgery, but it is not nearly as bad as people say. Like any type of pain, time will pass very quickly and you will soon forget. You will have sweet Ty in your arms. I just wrote a friend a LONG email with tips for a c-section. These are ones that were sent to me, that I found etc that doctors/nurses don't necessarily tell you that helped immensely. I have had a couple friends having c-sections or the possibility of one and they felt much better after reading it:)

Oh no!! I have no idea what to do! I thought that this little one was going to be breech because he was for a while, but he turned and now he is head down. It is always something, huh? I went to see the high risk doctor last Friday and he said we should have an amnio on the 4th to see if the baby's lungs are mature enough to deliver him on the 5th because of the pubis symphisis seperation I have. I'm scared!! And I am not ready to bring the baby home yet, I have too much to do still!!!!

My dear friend, I will pray for Ty to move and for you not to have to go through that painful procedure! :)
