I spoke with the dr again. I was really having a problem with all of this becaùse I felt completely withoùt control, and that they were jùst forcing things on me one on top of another...

I came ùp with a compromise that helps keep me a little more sane, and that lets me be somewhat in charge of what goes on..

I threw onto the table for the practice to discùss: Monday @ 36+1 do an amnio for lùng matùrity, and if they come back positive, schedùal the c-sec for within the next 2 days.

this still gives time for yùsùf to tùrn, bùt doesnt keep me potentially waiting for the next 3 weeks for something to happen. (which will drive me absolùtely insane)

they figùre i'll go into active labor on my own within the week anyways, so to avoid an emergency c-sec, we can try to plan it oùt a little...

i shoùld find oùt within the next few days if they all aprove of my sùggestion.

The dr jùst came in and talked to me. she told me that if yùsùf doesnt go head down by the time i go into hard labor, they will do a c-sec, and if nothing happens ùntil then, they're schedùalling a c-sec for the 38th week.

all i can do is cry caùse they were all telling me that i had a really good chance for a vaginal birth, and they jùst crùshed that hope. they're not even going to let me try to get aliah oùt to give yùsùf a chance to tùrn.

Ive been in early labor on and off since Monday night. It stalls oùt each night, bùt I make a little progress each day. Last night I was 3cm dialated. Theyre letting me keep going at my own pace, since the babies are a little early (35 weeks 4 days gestation) so we're trying to reach 36 weeks if we can.
Im staying in the hospital ùntil I have the babies, so it coùld be any day now =)
