Just a Teeny Bit Worried

I spoke to Lucia the doula this week, trying to organize a gathering at our house with all the care providers so they can see the space, so I can meet the pediatricians, so Andrew can meet everybody, and so any outstanding questions can be answered. But Dr. Lopez had his surgery on Wednesday, which is great, but means we'll have to put off the big meeting for a couple of weeks. Which brings us quite close to full term.

So I'm feeling a little uneasy leaving this so relatively late. Also, Lucia said that Dr. Lopez had mentioned that the baby was breech when he saw me and she wants to take some action in that department. She wants me to crawl around for 5 minutes three times a day, and she wants us to come by so she can use her rebozo technique to encourage the baby to turn. All very good stuff, of course. But the fact that she is concerned gives me a tiny bit of stress. Add to this that I cannot tell what position the baby is in, which is so frustrating! I have been poking and prodding the baby and probably annoying him or her like crazy but I still can't find a head or a bum.

I'm also a little frustrated, because it's not like I spend my days slouched back on the sofa. I am conscious of my posture, and at yoga we do a lot of hands and knees and downward dog, both of which are positions which are recommended to encourage a baby to turn head down.

So I will do my crawling, I will do inversions, I will continue going to the pool, and today we are hopefully going to get over to Lucia's to do the rebozo thing.
