36 Week Baby Checkup

Last Tuesday, I had what I thought would be a routine 36 week baby appt. I was also told that I would have one last ultrasound to confirm that Evie was still breech. The appointment itself was fairly uneventful. The OB checked me and said that I still had no cervical dilation or effacement. She also told me that I had tested positive for group beta strep, which is very common in pregnancies. GBS is something that all women have, although it only manifests in a cyclical way throughout life. I remember that I was negative for Nile.

After my appt, I went in for the ultrasound, and I got the shock of my life. The little bump that I was SURE was Evie's head turned out to be her precious little bottom. She was in the process of trying to do the impossible - turn head down. Yay! Because of this change, my OB told me that I needed to have another ultrasound in a week to check for any change. If she is able to turn head down, everything that we thought we knew would change.

I was in absolute shock! Of course, I was thrilled at the possibility that I would have a shot at the vaginal birth that I had always wanted. Still, I was very worried that I would get my hopes up too high, only to hear that she couldn't complete the turn. The waiting game begins...
