Bad Dr Appt today

Oh, I am so upset that I ended up having an anxiety attack :-(

Looks like my little man is not going to be good and has decided to stay breech. I am going to have one more ultrasound next Thursday to confirm, but looks like I am going to have to have a c section on 6/20. I am so bummed.

Even worse is I will only have 1 week and 2 days  off work from the date of the c section to have to be back to work. I just don't know how I am going to do it.

Please pray that little Mason decides to turn for me.

why such the short time before returning to work? i may be wrong but arent you entitled to 8 weeks with a csection?

I am sure you are, but I am self employed and can't afford to take the time off. I wish I could :-( 
This is the days where I wish I worked for someone else. It would not have been too bad if I could do it vaginal because my son will be with me, but now I am not sure how I will do it. I will have him on a Monday and have to be working the following Wednsday. YUCK!

Totally unacceptable. No way will you be ready one week and two days after a C-Section. No way. That is MAJOR abdominal surgery! When is your real EDD? Mason can turn any time ... I wish you could wait a little longer ....

Mason is due June 22nd. I am not sure what else I can do. Dr told me to go on all 4s and rub my stomach to try and get him to turn, and she would check next week. I am just totally freaking out.

Brooke!  Honey!  breathe.... however your LO gets here in the most healthy way will end up being just fine.  And since you're the boss, you can take it easy.  It sux butt big time that you have to go back to work 9 days after your scheduled C... and really I KNOW that is way too early.  But its your business and you do need to make the best out of each thing.  But really... since you're the boss, if there really is NO WAY you can take the doctor prescribed multiple weeks off after ur C... then at least take it easy.  Major abdominal surgery is right.  It's more invasive than your WLS.  You will need time to physically heal.  I'm sure you're doing whatever you can to find help with your business. 

You're still 18 days away from that scheduled C.  Mason can easily turn in that time.  Right now, I suggest you do what ever you can to relax (meditate, sleep, rest, whatever) and also see what you can set up as far as more help at work.

 I totally understand how you feel!! My #3 did this to us!! I even had an external version to turn her and she turned back...4TIMES!!! :( I went in the pool 3 days before I was scheduled for the C and she turned on her own...They induced me the next day! So try the pool.  Praying for you!!

My son was breech up until 38 wks when I tried some of the yoga-style positions on the website, he finally flipped head down and was delivered naturally on his due date.

Good luck

I had a section with my twins and there was NO WAY I could have gone back to work a week later. I was still taking narcotic pain meds. Heck, the doctor won't even clear you to drive for 2-4 weeks even! 

Hi

I was going to say look up spinningbabies aswell. I turned my DS2 during labor with some of the tips.

Best wishes

Thanks everyone for the support. The dr did give me exercises to try to turn baby. Just looked at the spinning baby website and looks like some of the stuff she gave me. I am also going to try the pool. Its hot here anyway and I think my son and I will go this weekend.

Thanks!
