My second glucose blood test came back perfect so I do NOT have gestational diabetes! Thank you Lord!
I have been reading about positions to try to help baby turn from breech to head down. Baby will get to a transverse position (head on side and butt on other side) but then his head pops back up. He is still so mobile. If his back is on one side of my abdomen and I turn to the other side, he'll plop right to the other side so I don't think an external cephalic version (ECV) would even be difficult to do. My concern, even with me doing these crazy positions (no, I'm not doing head stands, but close) is pinching the cord or something, but he keeps active, so that encourages me.
I really have been ok with everything, but it would be nice if he just turned on his own and we didn't have to think about what the next steps would be. I also don't want to be blind to what our options are if the inevitable happens, so Dan and I have read and watched some videos on ECV and also are looking into birthing a breech baby...if he's in the right position. They do attempt breech births here, unlike the States, but circumstances have to be right.
I haven't been gaining weight...actually lost 3 lbs, but it's staying steady. Not sure what is going on except that baby is so weirdly positioned it's hard to breathe and uncomfortable to eat, so I guess that is the problem.
I'm so thankful for all of your prayers.
