Breech Baby

On Monday at 6AM I will be admitted to the hospital. The doctor will attempt to turn the baby around and hope for the best. After talking with my husband, we decided that I will have a cesarean if the ecv does not work. Going into labor at home while the baby is coming butt first, not only puts the baby's life in danger but mine as well. I am full term and the baby is descending through my pelvis in a complete breech position. The heart beat is still strong and there is plenty of amniotic fluid, but the presence of a fibroid may be the reason the baby is not able to establish a head down position. Although I feel some sadness and a lot of anxiety, I know that I'm in God's hands.
