Love your sketches…can’t wait to play along. Just wanted to share some Breech stories…my first DD was Frank breech and we tried having her turned..wouldn’t budge. The C-section wasn’t hte end of the world and I delivered my second naturally, so don’t worry about that. Some of the things we tried to get the baby to turn was 1)lean your ironing board on the couch cushions where you sit, so that it is at a slant, and then straddle it and lay back with your head down…supposed to make the baby think it’s the wrong way and so it flips…this one just made me uncomfortable. 2) play music to the baby, but put the headphones at the bottom of your bump…supposed to make the baby want to move itself to hear the music better, which would be head down! 3) Remember the cat stretch from excercise class in school? Get down on your hands and knees and then relax…wait a minute or two and then arch your back/curl your back…wait a minute and relax. Repeat for a few minutes. Supposed to give the baby room to move. I tried all these…no luck.
I did have a friend who had a breech baby a well, and right after they scheduled the c-section she also had a visit from the previous nights dinner…went for her scheduled appt with the midwife the next day and the baby was head down. The midwife said that her being sick was probably from the big baby pushing and jostling her insides while he turned himself around.
Lastly, I’d just like to add…they say that baby’s birth reflects their personality…I can attest, my breech baby is a stubborn, do it my way kind of kid. My natural baby who took a little help and then leapt into the world quickly is a watcher…but once she knows what’s going on she’s in there! Good luck to you no matter what happens.

33 years ago I went to the ob and all was OK. Went home and before the next visit dd decided to flip around and get feet first into position. We scheduled a c-section, but I went into labor with my water breaking before that date came along. When I got to the hospital the doctor examined me and said the head is down and in position, no c-section. I was so excited my bp ran sky high and the nurse was in a panic. Told her that I would calm down in a minute, which i did and my dtr made her entrance a couple of hours later.
she was baby girl number three and another story to tell when every one is talking ob experiences. Jen, you will be in my prayers tonight as I tell Jesus and Mary how thankful I am for all they did for me today, and how Jen needs a prayer for baby M to be born perfect and healthy–flip or no flip! OR would that be a somersault?
