I went in for my 36 week check up today. I had a sono first to check on the size of the baby (6lbs 7oz) and to see if the baby is still breech. He is.
The Dr. and I talked for awhile about my choices. Pretty much I could do the ECV or have a Csection. I really don't want a Csection so I decided to go for the ECV. They are schedualing me for one on Monday at noon.
I'm not that nervous about the process itself I'm worried about everything else. Since I'm already dilated and effaced he'll probably come pretty soon after the ECV. Thing can go wrong and I might still have to have a Csection. A big worry for me right now is they suggest an epidural while having this done. A big pro to having one is that if something happens and I have to go for an emergency Csection then it's already in there. If I don't have one then they might have to knock me out completely and I REALLY don't want that. A con to having the epi is that if I do go into labor after this then I still the meds in me. I really want to be as med free as possible for labor. I'm really torn on what to do. . . luckily I have 5 days to think about it.
On another note we are having Jeramyah's party on the 2nd after I get off work. Just a few friends and family at the park, hot dogs and cupcakes. Simple since I'm so far along. I could wait until after the baby but I'd really like this to be the last thing Jeramyah has that is completely on his own. I'm sure he wont remember it but still.
