I'm going to pop and I can't stand it. I am not due until Oct 5, but I am ready to get baby William evicted! Last week he was turned breech (little stinker) so now I don't know which end is up. My Doctor isn't well trained in breech births and it's the kind that is dangerous (footling). So now (after 3 other babies) I may have to have a c-section. I can't even get myself to wish for labor because what if he isn't turned yet. GRRR. I'm crabby and ready and needing prayers and positive thoughts.
Anyone else ready for birth and cranky about it? I hate waiting.

I think he should get turned so you can have him on MY birthday (Oct. 1st) it is all I want..really!!! heehee
My second son was 2 weeks late and huge (9lb 7oz when he finally came out) and I KNOW how you feel. Everyone was totally avoiding me and I just sat and drank lemonade and did crossword puzzles and whined that last week. I will sure keep you in my thoughts and prayers. William is a beautiful name, by the way!!

My baby was positioned just like yours and on the way to the delivery room he flipped into position so don't give up hope!
I remember what you are feeling and you will be in my thoughts and prayers...for a great outcome and patience to wait for it! Ultimately you have to do what is best for you and the baby, so...
this time might be a whole new ball game. Welcome... by the way!
with a happy heart |

Allena, take a peek at this site....
http://www.mybreechbirth.com/index.htm
you don't have to have a c-section with a footling. Plus, you still have a couple of weeks for him to turn...

here is another:
http://www3.sympatico.ca/ramonalisa/breech_of_trust_drs.html
you should google footling breech and homebirth footling breech and vaginally birthing footling breech.
Just FYI: I am a Trust Birth Facilitator and a Take Birth Back Rep in MN, so I am a huge advocate of homebirth particularly unassisted birth. Granted you are having your baby ina hospital, so for women like yourself, I hope that you make an informed determination and not an assumed determination based only on what your doctor says.
Just wanted to pass on a little info and knowledge!!
:D

My first baby was a frank breech(butt first) and the doctor couldn't get her feet down. I had her that way and we both did just fine. Of course it was 30 years ago --just about the time they started routinely doing C-sections for breech births. We were very lucky that my doctor was older and knew how to deliver a breech. Some of them nowdays have never done it because they all are C-sections just about.
Also FYI---the tendency seems to run in families. For instance, my great grandma had one, my mom had one(me), her sister had one, I had one, my sister had 2(twins, 1 footling, 1 frank), and so far one of my nieces has had one. The only one that had a c-section was my niece.

Allena,
Just thinking of you and sending good thoughts for William to turn again! By October 1, because that's my birthday too and it's a great day to be born.
Many positive pregnant thoughts and farmgirl love to you...

Allena,
Best of luck! I hope you are delivered safely and soon. God mad babies to be birthed, He knows how to get the job done.

News Flash he TURNED. HOORAY! Here if you have a breech your stuck with a c-section because nobody has experience in it. Some of the midwives might, but I prefer a hospital birth for myself. Lucky for me it's a moot point.
I am still crabby and wanting to have it happen now.
Jenny thanks for the idea I'll try some crosswords, I often don't get time to post on here unless I'm useless. Most of my posts were made when I had morning sickness and was stuck on the couch. LOL
An update for you I spoke to you about sheep and I now have 2 shetlands, one half shetland half merino and 2 merinos. The cross has the most AMAZING fleece you have ever seen. I can't wait to get it off her...

I forgot, My Mom's Birthday is on the 1st too! I would love to have him then. The full name is William Franklin. I like classical names, we have; Dominic Allen, Elizabeth Ruth, and Teresa Marie.

OOOOOH...shetland/merino..what an amazing cross that would be!! Oh so soft!!!
I have sheep to shear if it would stop raining!! I have my moorit Icelandic/churro cross ewe lamb with her first fleece ready and it looks to be soft and pretty...a wonderful cocoa brown like her mom was when she was younger. She is going to her new home (my sis in law wants her so bad that I am gifting her...since I can visit any old time) after being sheared. My black ewe has a nice fleece too and will be ready soon.
I am so glad the baby turned!! Hooray!!

Still no baby, I'm 38 weeks four days. I had contractions for the last two days every 10 minutes. Some of them hurt! I asked the Dr what I could do to speed things up. Ironicly it's the same thing that got me into this situation. LOL
