38 Weeks (I think it worked)

We went to the doctor's last week for our 38 week appointment.

We saw Dr. Ollerton and he told me I am dilated to 2 centimeters. We told him that our last appointment, we found out that Mazie was breech.

I told him that I really wanted the doctor's to turn her when I go into labor and I wanted to avoid a
c-section completely. He was a little concerned.

He told us that he can turn the baby but they usually like to do this around 37 to 38 weeks because of the amount of amniotic fluid that is available for the baby.

He said it's usually not safe because the further along you get, the bigger the baby is and the less fluid there is. So he took us to the ultra sound room and HALLELUJAH! (I hope I spelt that right)
Thank you God!
SHE TURNED!
She is now head first in my pelvic area.

Now I hope she just stays this way till delivery.

Thank you to all of my family and friends for your prayers!

We appreciate your love and support so much!

Love,

Kristin

37 Week Appointment (This Sucks)

We went on our 37 week appointment last week. Jeremy and I really wanted an ultra sound and good thing we asked for one. We found out that little Mazie is breech. Ugh! Seriously. My doctor started to talk to us about options on turning her when I am in labor, which means I will have to get an epidural in order to relax my muscles or the dreaded c-section. A lot of my family and friends who know me knew I wanted to go completely natural. THIS SUCKS! I feel very scared and disappointed. My pregnancy has been such a breeze up to this point. I'm scared of the doctor turning her because he said this can always cause complications and when it comes to the big C word, I just don't want that at all. Well I have 3 more weeks to turn this baby girl myself. My schedule starting today is to consistently lay on my back with my pelvis propped up about a foot. I've read that this needs to be done 3 times a day. I know these are old "wives tales", but I am willing to try anything just so I can stay away from that operating table.

But mostly, I am putting all of my faith in God. I know he knows what's best for Mazie and I. I just want her to be born safely.

I would try this, but I am holding to much weight right now.
So I am basically doing this:

Except with a bunch of pillows supporting my pelvis higher off the ground.

Here is little Mazie's profile, the Doctor says she looks good and that makes us happy.

He estimated her weight at 6 lbs 14 oz!
And look, she's blowing bubbles. So Cute!

Mazie, let's make mommy happy and turn for me.

I promise I will feed you as much as you want when you are born. Even when I am tired.

Love,

Kristin
