Hey buddy,

Thanks so much for the update. I look forward to hearing from you

about your appt...Don't lose hope about the breech though....Read

's response to me about Hannah and when she turned from

transverse...We are still only 30 weeks and that little guy has

time...But, if he is stubborn like boys can be....My good friend was

40 when she had her third. At her 36 week appt, she was told by an

intern that the baby had indeed turned and was not breech anymore.

When she went into labor and was checked - at almost 10 cm dilated

too, he was still breech. They gave her the option to push for awhile

if baby wasn't in distress....and she managed to have a safe vag

delivery.

I know the ultimate goal is a happy and healthy baby and safe

delivery, so if the time comes, you will have to make the decision

about a section. My other girlfriend had a booked section for breech

and was absolutely THRILLED at not having had to go through labor.

When she had her daughter two yrs later, she booked another

section...Hmm...all the breeches I know are boys, come to think of

it...lol...Coincidence????

Congrats on finishing school, sweetie! You have worked so darned

hard. Are you going to do your externship right away? And your other

kid(s) should be going back to school soon too, right?

Can't wait to hear from you...Take good care and be well, sweetie.

Hugs,
