So, the baby has been breech for a long time now. Not a big deal before but, now that I'm getting close to the end, I'd like to do whatever I can to get him to flip around. I talked to my OB about it the other day (she actually brought it up) and she told me how they can try to move him from the outside if he's still like this at the end. I'd like to try to help the little guy out if I can.
I'm a Type 1 diabetic and have kept everything in super tight control for my entire pregnancy. I go in for weekly biophysical profiles and non stress tests now so that they can monitor the baby's growth. So far, he's only measuring a few days ahead and everything looks great. My whole thing is, I'm terrified of the idea of a c-section. I've been very strict with everything during the pregnancy because I didn't want the baby to get so big that I would need a c-section. But, here we are, I'm healthy, the kid is healthy, but he's sitting on my bladder and refusing to move.
Any tips on getting him to move? I know it's possible that he could still do it on his own but, at this point, I'm starting to doubt it. Thanks! (32w3d)
