Appt this morning to turn my breech baby 
Hello ladies,
I went for my appointment this morning to try and turn my baby since she's been breech for many weeks now. Although i had tried very hard to convince myself that it would work and that, consequently, it was the right thing to do, it just didn't work. Last friday when i had my scan, her bottom wasn't yet in my pelvis, so that made it easier to turn her, but today her bottom was already engaged in my pelvis, so they needed to push her out of there first before trying to turn her and that was really painful.I could feel tears coming up, so much it hurt. The consultant was good though because he tried twice to do it, but when he saw how painful it was for me, he just decided that it wasn't worth it and stopped.
I was so upset that she didn't turn, but I couldn't let them play with me any more. I'm glad they gave me a muscle relaxant beforehand (which, btw, made me feel all drunk and dizzy, eh, eh!), otherwise, I don't want to imagine how it would have been.
Anyway, we are both fine now. And we've been given our date for a c-section. It seems very unreal to know when your baby is going to be born and I'm not sure yet if we're going to tell our friends and family. Obviously we'll have to tell a few people who are going to look after our little boy etc, but otherwise, I think I would quite like not to tell. We'll see.
Anyway, that was just a little update which turned into a very long post, sorry!
hope everybody's doing fine,
xxx
