Still breech

Well Seth's little head was still up top at my appointment today. Other than that everything looks just fine.

B/P: 120/70
Wt: 181.6
Baby's HR: 140

Pretty uneventful appointment for the most part. Even though I haven't gained much weight in several weeks she didn't seem concerned. Overall I've gained about 28 lbs so that's completely normal. We chatted a little bit again about what the next steps are if Seth stays right side up. My appointments are every week now and so next Thursday I'll be seeing Dr. H. At that point if he's still not turned he probably won't turn on his own and we'll have to plan on an external "version." The gal I saw today said she had a breech baby and nothing worked (thanks a lot). But, she said her amniotic fluid was really low so there wasn't much room for the baby to move around. That is not the case with me I guess, there's lots of water around him so if he wants to he should be able to flip. So I guess for the next week I'll be trying all the tricks in the book. One of which is swimming, so I think I might try to get up to a water aerobics class at the gym on Saturday and/or Tuesday before my next appointment.

Work has calmed down a bit, so I have the next 4 days off, YES! Turkey & gravy, here I come!
