Today we have decided not to do scan for once.. Dr Paul touched mummy's tummy and I'm still in breech position.. Mummy is getting worry that I'm a breech baby and may end up delivering by cesarean..
Dr says he can try to turn me in mummy's uteruse using a procedure called external cephalic version (ECV) in the week of 37..
External cephalic version has some risks, including the following:
- Premature labor
- Premature rupture of the membranes
- A small blood loss for either the baby or the mother
- Fetal distress leading to an emergency cesarean delivery
- The baby might turn back to the breech position after the external cephalic version is done
We are very grateful that Dr Paul is very experience.. He provide suggestion for us to help move me during the next 2 weeks..
1) Lie on your back, with your bottom away from the wall. Place the feet high on the wall, and using it for support, lift your hips high. Have pillows or a firmly rolled towel ready to slip behind your back for support. Your hips need to be higher than your shoulders.
2) An alternative is to adopt a "knee-chest" position, with your bottom high in the air and your head and chest on the floor.
But both suggestion cannot last too long as mummy will be exhausted..
So he suggest to raise the leg of the bed.. mummy will sleep 8 hours in this position over the next two weeks..
The bed was raised by approx 5 inches from ground..
Our conclusion.. my head is small so there is no pressure to drop to vertex position.. but hor, daddy got a big head leh..
Mummy is praying that gorgeous will turn from breech position to vertex position.. please don't be like your daddy.. daddy was borned with buttock first :(
