The day after the shower I had my mid-wife appointment. This is one I had been anxiously looking forward to becuase I wanted to see if this little missy had decided to cooperate and get back into position. David, of course, came to find out as well as Nancy Spears since she was staying at our house for the shower. The mid-wife wasted no time in checking her position, because I told her that I really wanted to know. She pulled out the ultrasound and unfortunately she was still breeched. Since I'm already 37 1/2 weeks we needed to schedule a external version ASAP. They only do them on the weekdays and in the morning (because I'm not supposed to eat anything for at least 8 hours beforehand). We have it scheduled for 9:00 am Monday morning. I am praying hard that this will cause the baby to turn. The mid-wife said that it would be 50% success rate and that there is a rare possibility that this could induce labor and that if that were the case I would get a C-Section right then and there. I'm basically going to be prepped beforehand as if a C-Section might occur. Thus the reason for no eating for 8 hours and I'm going to be getting my blood drawn and an IV put in for medication if it becomes necessary.
I would really covet your prayers that the baby will turn by Monday morning or at least the version be successful and she is cooperative and stays turned.
If she doesn't turn then we will be scheduling a C-Section for no sooner than my 39th week.
