well i was really looking forward to seeing the midwife today and being told he is no longer breech and i could have a fairytale natural birth and everything would be wonderfull.
Didnt happen.
She says she has not seen a baby in this position so late on for a very long time, not only is he still breech, he has got himself into a very high up position against my ribs and stayed there growing and growing until he's pretty much wedged tightly in there. She says its unlikely that anything would turn him including trying to manually manipulate him so they wouldnt even try.
This does explain the broken rib though, as he had been pushing and pushing against it until they eventually started to crack.
So it will be a c-section for me. My biggest fear. Not only that, i was excited about going into labour and timing contractions, i know its silly but i wanted the whole normal birthing experience. i know however you have a baby is an amazing achievement but i wanted to be proud of myself for going through the labour and having him myself.
Oh well it just wont happen this time
But hey i know theres positives and this way i suppose i'll get my little boy the little bit earlier as they cant risk me going into labour, his positioning could be too dangerous for my body to cope with.
And i can guarantee him not being born on Christmas day as well
i really didnt want that (he's due Christmas eve)

) to a natural birth, but she was also breech and there was no chance of turning her. So I ended up having an elective c-section. Initially I was a little disappointed, but as the big day got closer and closer I realised how exciting it was to know that on such and such a date I would be meeting my baby for the first time. I still would have rather been able to have experienced a natural birth, but at the end of the day, I now have a perfect little healthy daughter. I may end up having to have another section as this little one is also breech, I've got a scan tomorrow to check up on things, so may know then further what is happening.
