I'm 37 weeks pregnant and headed to Maternal Fetal Medicine at the hospital to attempt to turn this baby today. I had to be fasting for 8 hours in case they had to take the baby via C-section today. That was probably the hardest part! My mom and Trent came down to watch the boys so Montana could come with me. We started with an ultrasound. During this ultrasound, the doctor saw the umbilical cord on the right side of the neck, the left side of the neck, and across the back of the neck. He couldn't get a view of the front of the neck due to the way the baby is laying. He basically concluded that we would not be able to turn the baby due to the cord. It could be wrapped completely around the baby's neck or just draped but he wasn't going to take any chances. So, he had us do a non-stress test (NST) to make sure the baby was okay. Everything was normal during the NST and we got sent on our way! And I was able to eat! The doctor wants me to have weekly NSTs and follow up with my doctors. We will most likely come back at 39 weeks to attempt to turn again and deliver on the same day. Such an adventure!
