Baby C checkups

So because I am old - or of Advanced Maternal Age - I have to have a check up twice a week. One day to see the doctor and do a NSI and the other day to do an AFI and NSI. For those of you that don't know what that stuff means - the NSI is to check fetal movement and heart rates, the AFI is an amneotic fluid level check. Yea team.

So I went in on Tuesday - all was well. Friday I found out my fluid levels were ok, but at a 9.5. So I plan on guzzling more water. It's fine, but still a little low. I don't want this baby coming out any sooner than she should.

The other thing I found out was the she was still breech - frank breech to be exact. Her rump is down in my pelvic area, her head is up in my ribs on the right side and her feet are folded back up towards her face but near my left side. Nice.

The doctor did say that in another two weeks, if she hadn't turned, I'd get scheduled for a C-section. Ugh. I'm praying that she turns. I don't want to deal with that type of recovery.
