Well we just got back from a dr's appointment earlier. They did a stress test and another ultrasound and unfortunately baby still has not turned and is still frank breech. We are pretty bummed out because we really didn't want to have a c section but it is looking pretty inevitable right now. We will keep our fingers crossed but if she still hasn't turned by Monday then I have a c section scheduled for Wednesday the 7th. I asked the dr what the chances of her turning at this point are and she said that it is slim to none. She said that she would try to manually turn her if we would like, but the more I think about it the worse I feel about us trying to force her to turn. The way I look at it is if she was suppose to turn she either would have or will. So everyone cross your fingers for us that she will surprise us and turn by Monday.

well... sorry to be negative but I think she is in a position she likes and it doesn't sound like she's moving :) At least you kind of have a date now... Can't wait to see her!
We'll be crossing our fingers for you and hope everything goes well with the delivery! We excited to see pictures of your cute baby!
Here are some ideas, although I don't know if they work!

i hope she turns for you...but if not, that's alright. like that other person said, at least you know when she's coming now and won't be suprised...unless she decides to come before the 7th. hope you had a wonderful christmas!
Well, the one good thing is that you know ahead of time. For some reason, my doctor thought Zach was head down the whole time when he in fact was a footling breech. I had a few hours to take it in before the cesarean. I would have liked some extra time to emotionally prepare for it. With Violet, I had a successful VBAC, so don't worry, there is a good chance you won't have to do another one after this. I hope everything works out for you, maybe she will get into the right position before the big day!
