Darren & I saw the midwives yesterday for my 37 week checkup. I was given a copy of my prenatal medical records & instructed to keep it on my persons at all times. I tested negative for Group B Strep, & that was my only win for the day. The baby is still breech & settling into my pelvis. I've been scheduled for an in-hospital version for next Wednesday. I'm to drink a ton of water over the next few days to build up my amniotic fluid. I'm not to eat or drink after midnight on Tuesday. On Wednesday, I'll be given an IV with fluids & a smooth muscle relaxer. Then the doctor will attempt to manually turn the baby. I have a lot of anxiety about this procedure.
If the version is unsuccessful then I will be scheduled for a c-section for the following week. I'm even more anxious about that procedure.
Packing my hospital bag was a lot more fun. I'm not having fun anymore. I'm ready for this to all be over & behind me.
