Another "Birth"day Soon!




         I just got back from two days with my daughter.  Her pregnancy is going fairly well in spite of the gestational diabetes.  But..... the baby is in the breech position and won't turn.  All we need is one half-somersault from the little stinker - but, nope!!  
     She was scheduled (Tuesday) for an attempt to turn the baby externally so I've been with her since Monday.  This attempt didn't work either, so now she's scheduled for a C-section next Wednesday.  
     Her husband will be home from his job for the long weekend and I can be with her on Monday and Tuesday.  Her hubby will then come back again for the C-section.  And then we'll be grandparents!  I'm so excited and praying that all goes well!   I'll post again with a picture when it's all over!

Meow- it may not work, but my first was breech - I was a big fan of a woman called Penelope Leach - wonderful books (british)- she suggested to try to move the baby to sleep with your mattress propped up at the bottom of teh bed. ie, head lower than your hips and feet - not to the point of discomofrt (although it feels a little odd)- but bottom line, after 2 days, she flipped.

Not saying it will work but it worked for me. D. put some wood under the mattress and some blankets and made it smooth.

Meow,
That is so exciting!
Congratulations and
Happy New Year!

Meow said...

Thanks for all the support!

And thanks for the suggestion, selkie. She tried a slant board for a while but I guess it's too late now.

The doctor said that the baby probably has a good reason for not turning, like a wrapped cord.

I'll post more after the 6th! Hugs, Meow
