Ack- jealousy!

[confustication]

There are Oct mamas with babies already, while there are a few of us who are first week of Sept. mamas with no baby. It's all so unfair.


*sigh*

Yes, they will come when they are supposed to but goodness, enough already!

Hey, I feel you. My sister was due ten days AFTER me, on October 1st... and she had her baby on the 9th of this month. She was really apologetic about it (she knows how much I am not enjoying being pregnant these days!) which I thought was sweet. And I AM really happy for her. But I still cried jealous pregnant lady tears when I was off the phone with her. :P

I have cried after coming to this board and reading that others have given birth.

It's really sad, and I am happy for them, but I'm SO frustrated at the turn this pregnancy seems to be taking. I know how excited everyone is, but it does sting, especally when ou hear about 37 week deliveries and healthy babies and easy deliveries, and you're backed up against the induction/c-section wall.

I feel ya. They scheduled my c-section for Tuesday. I told them I'm not showing up. I've got my family pressuring me to do a c-section because the baby is breech and it's what's "best" for the baby and my doc telling me I HAVE to do it. UGH! Monday I have an ultrasound to see if he's still breech.

this is why i have been posting and reading less and less. i feel bad because i am happy for everyone who has had their babies but i need to bring my anxiety about it all down and not just sit here thinking about giving birth. shopping has helped for sure. shopping and eating and sleeping

Monday's the final judgement on position for me as well. Sadly, if he/she isn't nicely headdown, I'm sure I'll have a section within a day or so. I don't WANT that, but I'm too far from the hospital for it to be safe to try todeliver a breech baby at home, oh, and once he did flip, all the early labor just stopped. So, I'm miserable and uncomfy, but I'm less dilated than I was a month ago, and baby's not anywhere near a decent position.

I just hate feeling the loss of control.

My MW is consulting with her backup on Monday, stripping my membranes on Tuesday. I'm also getting a BPP and NST on Tuesday. Wednesday I'll be 42 weeks and will probably be induced by the end of the week (dependent on the OB's schedule), so that would be buh-bye to the homebirth we have planned and paid for.

to you both.

Have you done chiropractic and acupuncture? Have your doctors discussed version? Have you called around for a doctor that does do breeches? I know there aren't all that many of them, but they do exist.

I know I have a doula friend that swears breeches are a sign of an emotional blockage - maybe just working on the emotional aspects of this whole thing could help... couldn't hurt, yk?

:

rosedoe, did you ever consult with Dr. Tsimion (sp?) that specializes in breeches and is near you? I know it seems overwhelming to get a new doctor right at the end, but from what I understand it's not uncommon. I have heard through the grapevine about the Dr. who does breeches here in Atlanta taking on a woman who was not his patient when she called him *in labor*. And she had her vaginal breech birth with him.

What? The baby still has time to flip, right? Is there another reason for them scheduling a section ahead of your EDD?
