36-Week Update!

Today we had our 36-week update and our little miracle is STILL in the breech position! He/she is being very stubborn and as Josh says "Well, our baby is definitely special." ;-)

We will wait until our appointment next week, at 37 weeks, to confirm the baby's position by ultrasound and if he/she is still breech next week, we will have more serious discussions about our options.

Our two basic options will be to schedule a C-section to deliver at 39 weeks OR there is a procedure we can try called Version, where the doctor tries to externally turn the baby into a head down position. Our doctor actually doesn't recommend doing a version on a first time mom because the uterine muscles usually aren't limber enough for the procedure to be successful. She indicated that there is only a 50/50 success rate with this type of procedure and even less than that for first time pregnant women.

We are just praying for God to show us guidance on how to proceed with safely delivering our little miracle into this great world.

We are open to a C-section, although that's not what either of us would have preferred. I know the recovery will be much tougher and for an extreme hypochondriac like me, it could prove to be an especially rough time. But, we are trying to stay positive for now and ultimately, we just want our little miracle here safe and sound.

We will update more next week after our ultrasound!
