| Pics taken today before I found out that my girl is (footling) breech |
Today, at 31+4, I had an antenatal appointment with my obstetrician at the Lindo Wing.
Unfortunately when we looked at my baby, its showed that she is now footling breech (feet first), which apparently is quite uncommon.
I'm guessing this must have happened in the last week (she was head first, 3 weeks ago during my last scan), and explains why I've felt discomfort under my ribs and has become easily breathless as her head presses up under my diaphragm.
Doc said that it's unlikely that she will turn again with the limited space, but that it's not impossible, and that we will talk more about it if she's still in that position when I see him again in two weeks time.
It's such a set back and has really got me down, and now this is all I can think about :-(
I've spent the whole pregnancy preparing for a vaginal birth - I had not even considered Caesarian! I seriously do NOT want a Caesarean (even if it's a planned one), but breech deliveries are notoriously difficult and can be also dangerous, so obviously I will take the advice given to my by my doc and get my baby girl out safe.
I now pray to any higher power that she will turn around in the weeks leading up to the birth, and I would be grateful if anyone has any experience on the subject with any advice to offer xx
