Feet First
We had another doctors appointment today for baby Dylan...all went well...good blood pressure...good heart beat...the only concern is that we think he is still breech...we go back in 2 weeks and will have a more thorough exam to find out for sure....if he is still breech they then will discuss having a aversion...I think thats what it is called...its where they manipulate the baby by turning him around by pressing and pushing on the outside of your tummy....the procedure does carry quite a few different concerns with it.....so I am not sure that if he is still breech that we will go forward with a aversion...we will have to weigh all of the risk...if he does not go head down on his own....and we don't proceed with a aversion then we will be having a c-section...which also carries its own risk...the problem with the aversion...is if things start to go bad during the procedure they will need to do a emergency c section on a pre term baby....so the only way I would agree to a aversion would be having it done very close to full term and would want to proceed immediately with induced labor and delivery....instinctualy I just feel if he is breech then their is a reason for it...whether its due to my body or due to Dylan and I am concerned about intervening with it at this time.....we were hoping that he would turn by now...but since that hasn't happened I will need to do some additional research on the subject so that we can make the best informed decision if needed....of course he can decide to move into his head down position at any time right up to birth..........will keep you all posted.......for now keep wishing for bottoms up for Dylan........
