So, update.. actually just getting home from the hospital now. went in for high blood pressure but we were able to get it under control. Midwife said he's still in the wrong position. He is kind of breach/transverse. pelvis is totally empty..he's still sitting high up near my ribs. My ultrasound is in 2 days to figure out possible reasons why he's not moving positions. once we review the ultrasound and determine he's in the same position, I have two options. option one is to go in and have a specialist manually try to move him down and then I would be induced right away. this is done around 38 weeks. option 2 is c section also at 38 weeks. Not going to lie that's scary considering its a couple weeks away! does anyone have experience with this scenario? technically it's my decision if I just want to skip manually moving him and just go right to the c section. Both options have their risks and they may find that they can't manually move him if he doesn't want to. I don't know what to do :-/ I've heard induced labours are hard..plus when they move him manually they give me an epidural first.. so I know I'll be monitored for blood pressure and fever etc. pitocin has its risks too. but so does a c section. my head is swimming right now :(

keep your chin up and wait for the ultrasound before getting too freaked out. I have been induced and had him naturally. inducing isn't bad at all. just a kick start.
yeah for sure. He may be a c section no matter what anyway..sometimes there's a reason babies don't wanna move. I'm scared of either option. I'm really disappointed. .I wanted to at least try for a natural birth without intervention to see if I could do it and it looks like that's not going to happen. So at this point it's whatever is safest and less stressful for him. thanks everyone! @nidag @melissafrattinger
Also I think you'd have a better picture once the ultrasound result comes in
That is one tough position to be in. I have no experience whatsoever but I would probably try getting him turned manually first and then just get a c section. Because I'm personally scared of pitocin contractions and then getting the epidural and then eventually ending up in c section. wish you luck.. keep us posted
Ya that would be a hard choice to make both have ups an downs
IF he moves successfully, I will be induced right away. it has a success rate of 50-60% I think. There are risks to it but same goes for c section
if they can move him into a position u could have him natural? instead of a c section.
Do you have the option to have a C-Section?
What is it like to have a c-section? I was told by my doctor I would likely have one so I am kinda nervous.😯😯
Next child
Speaking to my partner tonight about having our next child i ideally don't want another for a few years yet but he turned around and said only on one condition you have a c section ( i got a 3rd degree tear with Oliver) I actually don't want a c section but he said he won't have another child otherwise am I being unfair ? I loved my birth with Oliver i loved that feeling him being placed on me, but he said if I don't have a c section the next baby won't be with him :(
Will i always have a little pouch from my c section? Will i ever be able to get my stomach flat?
Vaginal labor is so easy I would rather take the contractions any day than to have to have a c section
thanks! @mommysangel
