Hi,
have just found out that bubby is still Frank breech at 37 weeks.
I live in WA and will be going to Glengarry Private Hospital.
My obstet has been away over Christmas (DR Gan) and Dr Tai has been filling in. I will be seeing Dr Gan on 21st Jan and cesarean will be booked for pretty much straight away as my due date is 6th Feb and they can't let me get too close to that. Glengarry is not set up with equipment to handle emergency c's or anything out of the ordinary.
I had an ECV last night with no success, just a very painful experience and sore today.
I have attempted for the past month, inversions, acupressure, pulsitilla and ANYTHING natural to turn bub.
Am faced with reality of cesarean now and so upset.
I know I have to get my act together and come to terms with it for my sake and bubbys's, but just needed to speak about it here and hear from others.
I didn't want the cesarean for may reasons.
Mainly the stream of drugs from beginning to end which I was trying to avoid (Induction, then epidural etc...)
Also the disappointment of not having the excitement of waters breaking, phoning hubby and the contractions starting. Just booked in and away you go, all the surprise being taken away.
Also the lack of contact straight after birth. MAYBE they will hold bubby to my cheek and then whisk away.
The longer stay in hospital (about a week) and the recovery of 4-6 weeks.
Also concern over bubbas legs being in that Frank Breech position and not being able to stay down for weeks. Not being able to swaddle bub due to this, which I felt was important. Maybe there is something wrong with bubbys legs now?
I am broken hearted....anyone else the same? Or had similar experience?
