An Update

Thanks to those who sent me hugs last week. I am going to try to make a long story short...

I went to the hospital and sat around for awhile waiting for the Dr to finish with his last patient. I finally got to see him about 45 minutes after I was scheduled and he did the sonogram to locate and measure the baby. I was told that I have a typical breech belly with how round it always appears... Anywho, he decided after much contemplation that I was not ready (actually the baby) for the version. It was too early on Friday so he scheduled me for this coming Friday, first thing in the morning.

I am still nervous, but feel a little better knowing that I have a little time to pack my hospital bag and just be ready in general for the possibility I may be meeting the baby this weekend. I was hoping to schedule after my shower this weekend, but oh well...

I guess I can only pray for the best and what is meant to be, is what is meant to be. He did tell me that I only have a 50% chance of getting the baby to flip in to the head down position and to be prepared for the possibilty of labor or emergency c-section and a morning of monitoring at the hospital after the fact. If it doesn't flip, on Monday, I will be scheduling the c-section for mid-March or maybe earlier.

We made it to LI this weekend and I went and came back in one piece. The last couple of days though I have been having increasing cramping in my lower back and belly plus I have completely lost my appetite.

Feel better

take care and relax these next couple of days!! I hope that we get to meet the newest LIW baby soon!

So glad you have a bit more time, will be thinking and praying for you on Friday!

oh boy! Looks like you are on your way! I am sorry it's all a little confusing, but like I said before....this is when you start to realize that a 'birthing plan' would have been a big waste of time!! sometimes the peanut has it's own agenda!!!

Nancy all the best, as long as you and the baby are ok that is all that matters.

Thanks again to all of you! It means a lot to me. I feel like an emotional wreck lately...

I have never been one to think that I could plan out the baby's birth, but when it comes down to it...it gets scary with everything that has happened or could happen from here on in. I guess I never realized these last couple of weeks would be so back and forth.

I did forget to mention that the baby is what they call Frank Breech, which is good for the version. Hopefully, it will be easier to roll the baby for the Dr since it is tucked in to a somersault position.

Nancy, lots of hugs to you...
Keep us posted

Nancy that is exactly how I felt. In the last stretch everything got so hectic! You are doing a great job - you are keeping your cool and making well thought out decisions. Your baby will be here before you know it! Keep us updated....

I hope you feel better! And get some much needed relaxation time in...
