Im 36 weeks pregnant and it looks like i am going to have to have a caeserian due to the fact my baby is breech. Today i had my caeserian date from the hospital, i know baby could still turn and i do hope he does but i cant help feeling that having a definate date takes the edge off the excitment of having a baby. Has this happened to anyone else, how did you feel.

Hi teen01,sorry hasnt happened to me but i was induced and i sooo didnt want to be as everyone told me it was reaallly painfull. I was just glad to have ds out at that stage though
No real advice but hope everything goes well for you and im sure it will stll be exciting.

teen01, have not been in your situation, but just thought I say that, just because your Baby is breech it doesn't mean that you have to have a cesaerian.
There are a fair few threads about on this issue, so, might be worth looking around for those!

As 3andnomore said, there are lots of threads on how to turn a breech baby and depending on where you live, they may still offer to deliver a breech baby vaginally. My MW said she'd be happy to do a home breech birth as long as everything was 'normal'. Best of luck, but do what you can now, I can understand why you feel the way you do.

use at as a way to totally prepare for your LO, one of the most scary things in this world is the unknown, so you can just relax a bit and prepare for after the birth - cook lots of yummy things and freeze them, as you wont be so mobile after your op.

Good Luck, and I hope your LO turns!
