Breech Baby
I am now going to the midwife every week. With Thanksgiving last week, I didn't make it into see her. Two weeks ago baby was head down but her head wasn't engaged. Today when we went in baby had flipped and she is butt down. My midwife seemed really relaxed about it, but I am terrified about the whole thing. Pretty much, I will go in next week, if the baby is flipped I get to go along with my pregnancy. If the baby is still breech, they are going to schedule me to have her flipped (inversion) and will then start me right after. If I end up going into labor before next week, I will be the lucky winner of a c-section.
Good news, they did an ultrasound to confirm where the baby was positioned, I have a great water level. This means she has a lot of water to move around. If she doesn't go head down by herself then it will be very easy to turn her. If they do turn her there is a 50 percent chance she wont stay head down, so I may end up having a c-section even if they flip her and start me.
I am okay with whatever happens as long as it is safe for that little Bingham baby. I am not thrilled with 2 of the three scenarios, but if she is stubborn and wont flip I really won't have much of a choice. I know things will work out the way they should, but I am scared!

This is one of my biggest fears, so I totally know why you would be nervous. Good luck, I truly hope baby girl decides to behave!
