Baby Updates

Well the past couple days have been a little crazy around here. I have recovered from whatever virus I caught. After receiving 3 IVS at the hospital last night and taking some anti-nausea pills, I feel great. Since I didn't dilate any further, they sent me home. I woke up well rested, but the contractions were back to random little, inconsistent ones. So no labor.

I did, however, lose my mucus plug, and thought maybe some fluid as well. After a call to the hospital, I was advised to go in to make sure my fluid levels were still good. I knew they were going to say this and dreaded another 5 hour hospital visit. So my mom and I got pedicures and ice cream before going in. Sure enough, we sat for hours at the hospital.

Eventually I was told that my fluid levels were good, and baby was good but upside down. Sometime between last night and today she had flipped into a breeched position!

oh no! baby, how could you!? About 3-4% of babies are breached at the end of pregnancy. just my luck.

Long story short, I am schedule for a c-section on Monday at noon.

Hopefully she will either flip on her own or the doctors will be able to flip her with EVC before the c-section. But the OB-GYN I talked with today said odds were not great since this is my first baby, my fluid levels are within normal range, but on the low end, I'm at 39 weeks so baby is bigger, and I've been having contractions which also makes it less likely for whatever reason.

boo.
