Ugh. It's back.

Hi Park,

I am sorry to hear about your current worries.:(

This is natural of course...and I would be feeling the same. The unknown has a way of creating anxiety.

First of all...have you tried external version? If not, ask your OB about this possibility

There is also the chance that the baby could still turn on his own. ..so stay hopeful and work those turning positions!

If, after all, you do end up having a C-section...know that you are in good company... (32.8% in the U.S.!)

...and that you are healthy and not at risk for complications in any way! :)

I am sending prayers of peace and calm. Keep posting as needed...we are part of your support team!

S.C.

Thank you both.

S.C., I am still a decent candidate for a version, but we need to see what baby's weight is at my ultrasound next week. If he is much larger, a version isn't as safe for myself or for the baby.

I'm hoping he turns on his own, but I am trying a couple of things at home.

I just worry so much about post-op complications. I feel so sad and scared...

Park, My youngest Daughter had three "C" sections, not one problem, the first one was an emergency and
she didnt even get any pain meds, none of them took over ten minutes stitches and all, when this is over
and you are holding your new baby, you will wonder why you ever stressed yourself this way! Peace

Park I can understand your worries but no matter what everything will be alright and you will be holding your baby in your arms.

Almost all of my cousins had c-sections, two of them with local anesthesia, and they said that the procedure (taking the baby) took like around 3 minutes and placing the iv before and stitches afterwards, etc the remaining 7 minutes lol :)

I am 100% sure that you will not get any complications. Op gyn drs are experts, trust them :)

Park,

I am SO freaking excited for you!! I can't believe you are almost done with your pregnancy!! You have totally taken charge of your anxiety and I am so proud of you❤️.

But it is that time where most pregnant women have anxiety, regardless of the circumstances. It is a super intense time. I know it will pass and your anxious feelings will change to excitement soon. We are all here to support and encourage you!!

Thank you all so much for the positive words. They mean more than I can say at this point because reassurance is priceless.

Unfortunately I can feel my panic attacks heading to their yucky place. Even when my mind isn't in the anxiety gutter, I'm having panic attacks out of nowhere. The good thing is that I'm pretty sure that it's my mean brain working against me, but the bad part is that I don't feel that there's a lot I can do to wrangle these subconscious thoughts. The fear is overwhelming. The stress at home feels unmanageable because my 3 year old is acting out and for some reason my husband can't help but engage and fight back with him. The power struggle between the two of them is insane right now.

My doctor has actually told me at previous visits that a glass of wine is good for my stress and my BP, so tonight I will be taking a lavendar Epsom bath, with a small glass of red wine, in an attempt to calm down and feel normal. It's going to be a long few weeks for me, so all of your thoughts, prayers (if you're into it) and support is appreciated. It's been a long road for me to actually get to the end of this pregnancy and it dates back to a couple summers ago, when you all saved me from the darkest point in my life. I appreciate you now carrying me towards the finish line. Hugs.
