Well, we weren't scheduled for a sonogram today, but our doctor was trying out a new machine and asked us if we wanted to be guinea pigs.We said SURE! That's our second "freebie" sonogram. Our next appointment is on the ninth, and we are scheduled for a sonogram, so we'll get measurements and baby's weight and everything. He says just from the look and listen, she is doing great!
Only thing is...she's breech. BOOOOO. She's in the "frank breech" position, basically a U shape (think of a curved pipe), butt first. Her head, feet and hands are all at the top! Not ideal, but not the end of the world, either. There's still enough good amniotic fluid between her butt and my bone, and she's not wedged down there, yet...so there's a slight chance she'll turn herself. And, if not, around 37 weeks, they'll look at how things are going and may be able to turn her manually. Eek.If she doesn't turn herself or if the doctor doesn't turn her manually, then we'll have to have a C-section. Which, again, not the end of the world. We can schedule that and let my family know ahead of time. My parents might actually be there for the birth, if that happens. So, it's not all bad. Or at least I'm not looking at it that way.
That's my update for the day!
