baby will be here Monday  

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
I went in to my OB today for a check up at 36w+4d
did a cervix check and I am dilated 3 cm, and she is engaged to a -2 station ... butt first
I wanted to try a version, so we went to the ultrasound room, and my amniotic fluid is very low, and they said the cord was on or around her neck, and they are not willing to try a version.
He actually said it was dangerous to go into labor with the cord the way it is, and since I am already 3cm, he wants to do a section on Monday (37w+2d)

I want what is best for my baby girl, although I am wreck right now mourning my beautiful med-free quiet natural birth I was dreaming of.

I'm sorry to hear you're not going to be able to deliver the way you wanted. I know you are disappointed.

I am glad though that your doctor found out about the cord in advance and now can plan accordingly.

I'm in a very similar position right now so I know how you feel. I hope we both are able to get through the unpleasant parts of this experience and celebrate with our new babies soon!
