So... I don't have much time I don't think... That is, if the Dr. Read (on call at the hospital) has time to take me in.
We went in for my routine weekly appointment today, and the doctor informed me after doing her exam on my belly that it felt like Delta has flipped. Meaning that she isn't head down anymore. I normally feel her grasping Delta's head while she does the exam, so I honestly believed her word. But she decided to do an U/S to double check.
After waiting in the waiting room a bit, we got called back again and yes, Delta has turned around on me. Now I realize that maybe what I've been feeling has been a shoulder, not a foot, and that I was wrong about my feeling that Delta had dropped even though the doctor had told me she hadn't. *Inserts foot in mouth* Doctors know better, I should have known.
Well anyways, she told me that Dr. Read should be returning her page within the half hour (I heard her say she might be doing a D+C prodecure at the time and that could be why she wasn't answering the phone) and that she'd let us leave and she'd call us soon.
I asked questions first.
What the doctor will do is basically another ultrasound, get my belly all gooped up and try to push and manipulate Delta back into the head down position. She said it's not a painless procedure, but its not the worst it could be is what I'm making sure I tell myself.
There is a 7 in 10 chance that she will turn around with the doctors help.
She may turn breach position again, even if she DOES turn for the doctor.
IF she doesn't turn or decides to turn breach again, I can't deliver vaginally. My doctor told me they won't allow it because its too risky as the head is the largest part of the baby's body and they don't want to risk it getting stuck. I TOTALLY understand, but that being said, it means a C-Section.
Then my doctor told me that if she won't flip for Dr. Read, she'd put me in a pool and make me swim, because I'm guessing that will help her move?? (Which makes me think, did she decide to flip around on me when we went to the Quarry a few days ago???)
I guess that's it for now. I'll try to update later if I get the chance. If I go to the hospital, I'll tell you if we were able to get her to go head down. If I don't go to the hospital, I'll probably just update how freaking worried I am about having a C-Section.
