28 weeks

Thought I’d give you an update on the pregnancy.  Most everything is going along as normal EXCEPT the baby is breech!   That does not bode well for our plans for a home birth.   It’s still a little early to worry too much about it cause he has plenty of time to flip on his own, but our midwife tried to get him to flip at my appt this week and he wouldn’t do it.  His heart rate dropped both times she tried it so there is some concern that the cord could be too short or the placenta in the way or some reason that he has gotten himself into this position and doesn’t want to move out of it.  He is also very low in my pelvis already which is unusual for only 28 weeks (and uncomfortable!).  So for now I am working on doing lots of walking, swimming, drinking lots of water, getting adjusted and doing inversion (lying upside down on the ironing board as its propped against the couch)  to try and get him to flip on his own.  If he doesn’t flip soon we’ll go in for another sonogram to see if there is anything keeping him from doing so and then go from there…
