Still here...
Little Annika is giving me grief already! Yesterday I visited the obstetrician, thinking that would probably be the last, he would be doing an internal examination and giving me some good news.
Instead... horrors of horrors. The little girl, who was cephalic ( head down ) last week had turned transverse! At 39 weeks! My steadfast doctor, however, said to wait another week, to see if she would turn back down again and have a natural delivery.
I am not so confident this time around. I just hope I don't end up with an emergency Csection.
Last night wasn't great. I've been experiencing more and painful contractions over the past week in the middle of the night. Only they were rather sporadic and stopped when the dawn broke. Leaving me exhausted, of course. But last night, the contractions seemed to be more persistent, and they continued till this morning. They seem to have abated somewhat but I am waiting with bated breath. I still don't think she's head down just yet. I am keeping my fingers crossed that by a stroke of luck things will still happen naturally.
So today... I think I will try and rest as much as possible, and hope that things don't progress until Annika turns back down.... but these contractions are seriously quite uncomfortable!
