Breech Baby

We just found out today that our little guy is breech. Ughhh one of my biggest fears! I have worked so hard to prepare to have this little man naturally and I have to admit I am a little upset. We went to over 20 hours of Natural Childbirth class, I have read so many books, and have practiced so many positions and breathing techniques. All I really want is a healthy baby and that really is all that matters to us, but it would be nice if I didn't have to get a c section. C Sections, while performed all the time, do have a greater risk to both the baby and me. We are going in Thursday to try the External Cephalic Version, where they try to turn him and if it doesn't work then we will be scheduling the section. The doctor said we have a 50/50 chance of turning him so wish us luck! Turn little man!!

Good luck with your version, too! How weird that they're on the same day. I hope it works and I'm crossing all my parts for you :)
