Well,turns out our little baby boy is a footling breech and the placenta and cord are positioned in such a way that attempting a natural birth would be very dangerous so my OB has scheduled me for a c-section delivery on Friday.
I feel like I've been completely train wrecked,I was originally planning on a home birth with a miwife with this baby and then that gradually got derailed and now I have gone to the very opposite extreme and I am so nervous and scared about this.
I delivered my previous two babies completely naturally and so this is an entirely new experience for me.
I also have a fourteen month old toddler to take care of when I come home as well as the newborn baby so it seems very daunting to think of recovering from major abdominal surgery and trying to take care of these babies and the home.
I don't know how I'm going to deal with all this,just thought I woul vent,figured there would be a few of you farmgirls here who could relate who may have had similiar experiences.

Kathryn, I just got back to this thread...I'm so happy that your c-section went all right. Joshua is a handsome little guy! And, I'm sure you are feeling a little better yourself. Get as much rest as you can.

Hi Ladies!
Thank you for all the encouraging words and for sharing your experiences with c-section delivery,I'm sorry I dissapeared here but I finally have an update for you!
My scheduled c-section for the 24th became an emergency c-section on the 22nd when I went into a very rapid labor ahead of time,we rushed in to the hospital and it all went very fast from there,there were a couple complications but all went well and baby was born healthy and I cam through alright,it all happened so fast there wasn't much time to really process what was going on around me :)
Joshua Daniel Broege is finally here and doing well,here's some pictures!
