A Breech-Busy Week!

Last Thursday, during an U/S after my routine appointment, it was confirmed that Scooter was Frank Breech in his/her presentation.

Since that time I have:
prayed without ceasing
seen an accupuncturist
went swimming
seen a chiropractor
done a ba-zillion weird exercises
had Beau sing into my belly through a paper towel tube [this was the most successful at-home attempt!]
cried

Today I go in to the hospital to attempt a “version” to try to turn the baby from the breech position to a vertex one.

**If the baby becomes distressed during the procedure, I may require an emergent, “rescue,” C-Section that could leave me with extensive abdominal wall trauma in an attempt to save the baby. Please pray that this does NOT happen and that our baby would tolerate the procedure well.

**If the baby does not turn tomorrow, but avoids crisis, a C-Section would be scheduled the following week. This would still give the baby some time to turn on his/her own, but as he/she becomes bigger it may be more difficult.

**Because our 2nd child [Champ] was a C-Section, if this baby requires a C-Section, I would be committed to having any further children surgically as well.

Please pray that this would go well, that our baby and I would be safe. That we’d be bold witnesses for Christ in every encounter. That our other kids would be safe and blessed as their world has been a little unsettled this week.
