So, I know I just asked a couple weeks ago or so about things I could do to get my baby to rotate... sadly, he has not and he's still in the breech position. Its an awkward position, because he lays almost at a diagonal in my stomach, rather than plain horizontal or vertical. He's getting a lot bigger, and my stomach is getting a lot harder, which means he's running out of room to turn himself.
I go in again next week for yet another ultrasound to measure the amniotic fluid and to see really how much room he has to move. I'm wondering, though, because at that point I will be 2 days shy of 39 weeks (full term, essentially), if I can just opt to have a c-section then and there (well, when they deem me ready for one), rather than try for a version (which could end up in fetal distress and a c-section anyways). Do doctors allow you to do that? Especially if you're near the end?
Just curious as to your experiences... I'm a first-timer and the whole thing is rather daunting.

They will probably recommend a c-section. I had two of them. They aren't bad. One was an emergency c-section and the second one was planned. Good Luck and Congrats!

i think of your physician is doing you a severe disservice by using providing this to you as an excellent recommendations. maximum each respected scientific association advises against non-obligatory C-sections. A C-area is important belly surgical operation, and could be dealt with as such, no longer some "common way out." uncertain the way it have been on condition that nickname, through fact it fairly is not. restoration is plenty longer and the aftercare is plenty greater besides. the risks to the two mom and infant additionally are plenty greater. while you're suitable approximately reducing by using muscle, it fairly is not a a hundred% garuantee that they gained't shrink it (the two inadvertantly or out of prefer). The muscle tissues are pulled aside which will reason trauma and at times would desire to be surgically repaired down the line. Even a term infant whilst further by using C-area, is plenty greater probable to have respiratory problems. reason being: infant is meant to pass by using the delivery canal, with the amniotic fluid being squeezed out of it fairly is lungs for sure. toddlers born by using c-area don't get this perk of nature. i'm no longer attempting to decide you. i actually do comprehend the phobia linked with giving delivery. you nonetheless have a million/2 of your being pregnant to think of approximately this. I do propose which you supply it so plenty greater severe concept. I had a C-area formerly and am PRAYING i could have a helpful VBAC this time. I actual experience robbed of my birthing journey. It replaced into no longer something like I had continually dreamed of. better of success to you.

I scheduled my c-section about a month before I had my son. Nowadays, doctors are more than willing to schedule a c-section rather than opt to "wait and see".

compications from a version are very very rare, and certainly lower than the risks from a c-section. but these are still rare, and both procedures are very routine. If it were me I would opt for the version, but be prepared for the "c". good luck
