Pregnancy Info HOME

Hi Nita,

I am right there with you...I had my first last November and was on here a lot, got pregnant again right away and find it hard to have the time!
At any rate, I had almost the SAME experience. I am due now Sept. 30th and a few weeks ago the baby was head down. Then about 2-3 weeks ago he was breech and they suggested scheduling a c-section. The doctor said the angle he was at and at this stage, it might be difficult for him to turn. I was totally surprised , upset a bit, then schedule d the c-secion and got used to that whole idea and told my family. The following week, he did turn and was in position! I've had about2-3 u/s visits since then and as of my appt yesterday, he is still head down. I think you are still early enough where the baby can turn absolutely, but just prepare for the possiblilty that it may be a c-secion in case. I also had a tear with my first and that was very painful but I'm glad I had a natural birth. I got used to the c-section idea, then had to cancel it and as my doctor said, I'm happy that everything is healthy and the way he's supposed to be! It's hard to think about the labor again and not know when it's going to happen, but he did what he's supposed to do and yours still has some time to turn!! Relax, and whether he /she winds up turning or not, go with what you have to do- it'll be fine!
