Seems like with 8 weeks to go we have another breech baby on our hands.  My mother had 3 breech babies (highly unusual) and we found out that Lilly was breech at 39 weeks, so we were well aware that this might happen.  With Lilly we took the option of doing an external version in the hospital to flip her at 39+ weeks.  Since it was not succesful this led to a c-section (breech delivery not allowed in 48 states) and this time around 6/7 doctors have said they will not consider a version as an option (1 doctor said we could try but Bill and I have decided not to put ourselves or the baby through the stress of the procedure again).  Bill and I are stuck somewhere in between believing that the baby knows what position is best for it and hoping for a vaginal delievery.  Therefore I am resorting to some old fashioned techniques to try to get this baby to flip on it’s own, all the while feeling ‘ok’ with the only backup plan which would be a scheduled c-section some time during the 39th week.

Here’s the plan:
