Today I am starting to really wonder if my little Fiona is head down (like she is supposed to be, ideally) breech, or sideways (transverse). I have another appointment in about a week, so I will of course be bringing this up to my doc, but it certainly has me thinking.
You probably wonder why I am even thinking about this and think I am "assuming the worst". I'll admit, sometimes I do that so you wouldn't be off by thinking that. It's not that I'm a pessimist, I just like to set my sights low so I'm not totally crushed when things aren't all wonderland and roses. Yah, yah...wish for what you want and it might happen...blah, blah...whatever.
I think she's in a strange position because I feel movement pretty much EVERYWHERE. I feel her up high, on the sides (mostly on the left side) and very often...around my bladder/very low. That's right, she thinks my bladder is a punching bag. I can only hope she grows up to be a famous boxer or preferably, a kickboxing enthusiast/workout instructor/gym owner (it just sounds cooler). I think her daddy would be proud.
I have no idea what would happen if she's in a funny position birth-wise because I haven't asked yet. But I will. Until then, I'll scour the internet. So far it seems there is always a chance for turning but it could result in a c-section. Good-bye once decent-ish abs.
Another fun fact? I WAS SIDEWAYS BEFORE BIRTH. However, the showstopper that I am, I turned just in the nick of time. I have always liked a good dose of suspense, so it's not surprising. However, I'm also a little difficult. My mom should have known my birth was a glimpse into the future.
I'll keep you in the loop as I have more information and less assumptions.
Later gremlins (I strive to be like Gaga).
