Appointment Rescheduled

Well the baby has changed position. Instead of being feet first, he/she is butt first. ARGH! The doctor has rescheduled the external cephalic version (manually turning baby) for Monday at 6AM in the morning. I will be given the choice to use anesthesia in the form of an epidural during this procedure or bear the pain. I'm going to start out with no medication and see what takes place. I have been in pain for 3 days now but it seems to be due to the booty of my baby sitting deep in the pelvis. Please continue to pray for me.

Monumental Prenatal Visit

Over the past several weeks I insisted that my baby was not head down. My Doula and OBGYN kept saying "Oh it's probably the baby's butt." Today I specifically asked the doctor to check if I was dilated. So with hesitancy he did so. To his surprise he felt an arm where the head should have been. Next he performed an ultrasound and informed me that the baby was breech. I told him that during my birth the doctor stuck his hand into my mother and turned me around. Of course he said most doctors don't do that any more. He informed me that I have 3 choices.
1. We can wait and see if the baby turns on its own during the onset of natural labor (Any time now).
2. He can attempt to turn the baby next Tuesday and induce me on Wednesday.
3. He can perform a cesarean.

I chose option two because he has already told me that I cannot sit around the house and wait until my labor is 5-10 minutes apart since my test for group Strep B is positive. He has also recommended an epidural since the induction will create more pain than natural labor. There goes my birth plan.
