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.

Does the baby weigh more than a ham?

Earlier today the baby was growling for a bite to eat, so my neighbor fixed turkey sandwiches for everyone. After talking to her for while about the pros and cons of inducing labor before the Christmas holiday, we go out to do some Thanksgiving grocery shopping. I wobble my pregnant belly over to the cashier, pay for my items and realize that my bill was a little high. After perusing the receipt, I discover that the ham my neighbor thought was eight dollars turned out to be $15!!. I laugh and we are directed to customer service. I smiled and told the representative that they should not charge such high prices for a piece of meat and that I would like a refund. He promptly does some tricky math gives me back a little over $8 and tells us to keep the ham. I don't know if it was her good looks or "the customer is always right" attitude; but I said thank you and goodbye before he changed his mind.
