I am so scared. I'm 36 weeks pregnant and my baby girl has still not turned into the birthing position. She's breach (or breech, however it's spelled). She tried a few weeks ago while I was at work and it was 1.5 hours of pain, but she never turned. She may be too big, im not sure.

I wish I wasn't so scared. I know c-sections are routine and safe, but I'm just terrified. I've done everything in my power to get her to turn, I lay on the sofa with pillows under my bottom so my pelvis is elevated, and play music for her down low so she might turn to hear it better. I'm not afraid of natural birth at all, but I'm just utterly terrified of getting a c-section. I wish I could lose this fear so I could enjoy the upcoming event but I just can't stop worrying about it.

Not sure what anyone can do here to help, but this is mostly just a vent I guess. I keep asking various people how they recovered from c-sections...some people tell me that it was a HORRIBLE recovery, and that I'll want to kill the first person who makes me laugh, others tell me (when they see the fear welling up in my eyes perhaps) tell me it wasn't too bad. I really just wish she would have just turned, but I guess there's a reason for everything. There is still a slight chance that she'll turn, but she's already tried and failed and she's quite a bit bigger now then when she last tried.

I'm just scared. I always imagined myself trying even natural without epidural, now I am skipping the labor all together and I am just so upset about it. I wanted to experience labor. I know it sounds weird to those of you who have been threw it, but even though it's painful, it's so beautiful. I knew I could have done it. I was so looking forward to it througout my pregnancy. Never in a million years would I have imagined having to skip the labor all together and never get to experience it. I don't know why I'm so scared and dissapointed.
