Finally a plan

We had our ultrasound yesterday and Harli is still breech. She does however have both legs down (much more lady like). She has her head under my right rib cage and her bottom by my left hip. Her legs are crossed and bent under her. The dr's appt today went good. Dr Shaw wants to move the due date back to Nov 3rd…but since Harli is still breech I won't go that late. We discussed doing an external version (the dr physically moves the baby) vs a C-Section. We went over the pros and cons of both. If something were to go wrong during the external version, a C-Section would be done. The success rate of an external version is only 56%. Kory and I weighed the pros and cons of each and have decided we will do the C-Section. The external version just isn't something we are comfortable with. They will do a C-Section at 39 weeks (which conveniently is Oct 26th). Dr Shaw wanted to push the due date back so that would give Harli an extra week to gain a little more weight. Right now, she is 5lbs 9oz. She will gain 1/2lb each week. By Oct 26th, she will be roughly 7lbs. Dr Shaw said that I can go into labor before Oct 26th and they will just take her at that point. I am starting to have contractions, but they are nothing time able. Many women have contractions for weeks before they go into labor. Dr Shaw was pleased that the contractions had started because that means my body is making progress. We go back next week to finalize a date for the C-Section. I will keep you posted on when that is. Right now, we feel that we will just stick with Oct 26th since that's the due date we were originally given. We feel very at peace with our decision and it's nice to have a date to look forward to instead of not knowing. We are also aware that this could change at any minute, but having some sort of a game plan works for us!
