Baby Update

I am now down to weekly appointments. Yesterday I went in for my last appointment with Dr. Kerr. I am 35&1/2 weeks. The scale blessedly read the same as last week, and my fundal height is also unchanged. I was hoping it actually might decrease a bit.

Everything looks good for the most part. We might be dealing with a breech baby at this point. I have a lot of anxiety over another caesarian section, as I don’t have someone to be here with me to help with the other children. I know I have my neighbor Maureen, as well as Dawn, who are willing to help, but my last c-section experience was so difficult in the recovery period, I am feeling uptight. So pray for peace for me. Dawn encouraged me last night that her first was breech, and they were able to successfully turn him with only a bit of pain.

The dr. was able to feel the baby’s head was down for the past few appointments, so yesterday when he checked I was surprised. He really worked hard to locate it, and although he didn’t say he was convinced baby is breech, since then I’ve been really analyzing the movements. As I was laying in bed wide awake at 4 a.m. this morning, Baby became very active. The movements that I associate with legs/feet and arms/hands were way down low, while there were larger, rounder feeling parts moving slower up top. I don’t want to be cursing myself with anything, but at this point, I do believe Baby is breech. So I am praying lots, and trying to focus on God and His promises to me. If you think of me, say a prayer. I want to put any anxiety far away from me. And if a section is the final outcome of this pregnancy, that I would be able to accept it with a heart full of peace, and know that He is still in control.
