36 weeks and counting...

How appreciative I am to say I am still pregnant at 36 weeks, especially after the scare I had at 26 weeks. This baby and I are bonding more everyday and I am getting so excited to meet her. I am just a little bit apprehensive that she is still head up.  This problem was not on my radar at all and I think I am most fearful about WHY she is not head up. When the Dr. told me this last week that we will have to do an ultrasound and potentially manually rotate the baby, I immediately got on-line to find out natural options on how to flip a baby.  What I found was more that I wanted. I guess that is the problem with internet searching: you look up one thing and all kinds of other scary answers pop up on the screen.  I not only found old wives tales about how to flip a baby (which I am not too proud to try), I also unfortunately read about reasons why babies are breech, from a cord wrapped around babies neck to chromosomal abnormalities, to autism, to too much or too little amniotic fluid, the list goes on and on. I know its stress that prevents a baby from rotating in the right postition so from now on I am going to stop researching on-line and let go of any angst or worry. I have my next appt. this Wednesday so we will just take one day at a time. Stay tuned...
