Wondering if I'll get my version.

I'm so upset, discouraged and annoyed right now. As of Monday this baby was still breech and since I spent the weekend having lots of Braxton Hicks and some cramping the OB I saw wanted to schedule me for a version sooner rather than later. So I was scheduled for next Monday - I ended up changing that to Wednesday so my husband could go with me. Everything seemed to be a go and all good.

Until this afternoon.

I got a phone call from a nurse at their office who said the docs had their group meeting today and I was one of the "cases" (I just love how I'm a case now) they discussed. Apparently all the OBs aren't on board with doing a version on me since I'm also a prior c-section mom. They want me to come in and have a "meeting" with them. It couldn't seem more ominous to me. I asked when and she said any time I can make it - really? So then I'm thinking it must be pretty serious if a doctor can meet with me anytime it's convenient FOR ME. We're going tomorrow morning to Tucson for this meeting at 9am. I pretty much demanded that my husband go with me because I figured he could get around all their medical mumbo jumbo especially if trying to scare me into a scheduled c-section

Can I just say I'm freaking out? I dread them trying to talk me into a scheduled c-section. They might as well save their breath because the only way I'm having another c-section is if it's medically necessary. Only 4% of babies are still breech at the time of delivery (spontaneous labor anyway) so I'd rather take my chances of going into labor and seeing if she's still breech before signing up for major surgery, no thanks. My c-section with my daughter was a freaking nightmare that I don't intend to ever repeat.

Did I mention I'm freaking out? I'm already stressed that she's still breech and now this "meeting" has me completely upset.
