I had my 36w appointment this morning and of course she's still breech. Friday and Saturday night she was super active and kept me up, so Saturday night I stayed up until midnight until she calmed down. I really thought she had turned at least transverse but no, she's still breech, butt in my pelvis, legs crossed.
I told the doctor about the cramps and Braxton Hicks I had over the weekend - I had them all day yesterday. He seemed concerned and didn't want to wait until next week to schedule a version. He wanted to send me to Tucson for the version this Friday but I'll only be 36w 6d and the doctor he talked to at their main office thought it would be better to wait until Monday. They scheduled me for an in depth ultrasound (to check her size, position, location of the umbilical cord, etc.) and if she's still breech they will do an NST and then send me over to the hospital for the version if all looks good. Since my husband can't go Monday I'm now trying to change it to Wednesday because I really don't want to go alone - especially since there's a small chance it could cause me to go into labor. I've done my research and know the risks are super low of anything bad happening, there's more risk in having a repeat c-section,(and the reversion rate is very low after 37 weeks) but I'm still not too excited to get this done - it sounds uncomfortable to have them pressing on my tummy and getting her to turn.
Thankfully I already found a friend who said she'd watch my daughter while I go up to Tucson - the doc said it could take several hours.
So everyday this week I'll be doing breech tilts and inversions hoping she turns. Ugh. Turn baby turn!!!
