After having an ultrasound, the doctor confirmed, that the baby is breech and that they potentially do ECV http://www.webmd.com/baby/external-cephalic-version-version-for-breech-position, which is basically turning the baby.
I've tried with my midwife 3times. First time, the baby didn't move at all. I was doing some spinning babies exercises, also acupuncture, chiropractic webster technique, relaxation and talking to baby. Second time, we moved the baby a little, but not really. And third time, it was very painful and didn't work either.
After the third time, I've decided, that I don't wanna try it again. Thinking to myself, that if the baby doesn't want to be forced to turn, I understand that. It will either move on it's own for the birth, or it won't. Which here in California pretty much means most of the time c-section birth.
I'm trying to feel out, what is best for me and baby and also the safest. I would love to be able to have homebirth, that I dreamed about, but at the same time, I'm not sure, that I would feel comfortable to do breech homebirth, I would also need some doctor to supervise the birth, because midwives aren't allowed in California to do homebirth when the baby is presented breech.
Sooo many questions, so much inner work and stuff to look at. Ultimately, I really want healthy baby and am willing to do c-section, if it's the safest and baby's choice.
I'm just thinking, that everyone (also the baby) has always reasons for certain decisions and ideas. So does my baby. And I want to trust the process of life and be grateful, that nowdays, we have many different possibilities and options, that are safe.
My baby is in the frank breech position, which would be preferred for the vaginal breech birth, but since I'm first time mom and haven't had any birth before, I'm not sure, if I have the trust that I need for successful vaginal breech birth. Still trying to feel it out...PS: guess what is in the ultrasound picture and type it in the comments.. who will be first right, will get some little present :-)
