Well Monday this week we had our appointment with one of our midwives at Lonestar and she checked the baby's position with a small ultrasound machine and he appeared to be breech. This news has upset me more than it probably should but I guess anytime there is talk of C-section it's a bit upsetting for someone who doesn't even feel the need to ask for pain medication in labor because she would rather experience labor and delivery as normal as possible. The midwife was able to see that there is plenty of amniotic fluid and therefore space for baby to move around, so it's completely possible that he's still just doing somersaults in there and just has not settled down in to a nice head down position yet. But I would like him to settle asap! So I am of course doing things to encourage him to get into optimal position. There's lots of good information on Spinningbabies.com. I am going to a chiropractor for the Webster technique tomorrow and Monday I am going to an accupuncturist for the Moxibustion technique as well, meanwhile trying to do yoga and things like that during the day at home (which isn't easy since I'm trying to spend as much time with Zelda as possible).
We are also of course praying, praying, praying and putting this situation in God's hands, doesn't mean I always feel at peace but that's the goal because I need to trust God to handle this.
So sorry this post is quick and void of emotion but I just wanted to get in an update before going to bed.
