Give me a "C!"

Well you guessed it, "C" for C-Section.  Last week was pretty eventful.  We spent a good part of our Christmas Eve interacting with doctors and nurses.  At 8AM we had our weekly prenatal appointment.  She was still transverse and Dr. Sanchez said he wanted to schedule a C-Section for the coming week.  The person in charge of scheduling was not in at the moment and would give us a call in a few days.  It would either happen on Wednesday or Thursday.

I was feeling a bit off, started with cramping in the later part of the morning, which turned into contractions by 2PM, at about a half hour apart.  There was no pain, but her movements had decreased.  I called the doctor's office and they advised me to go into the hospital to have her monitored because of the change in movements.  After a few hours the contractions ceased and there were no concerns with the baby, her heart rate was fine.  Before that, it looked like we were going to have an emergency C-Section.

Between all of the fun, we had to cancel our dinner plans with my dad's side of the family. They were suppose to come to our house and bring the (Guatemalan) tamales.  We were let go about 7PM.

While in the hospital we found out that Little Miss. Lopez decided to return to her original spot.  She moved herself from the transverse position, (still breech) back to head up and bottom down on the right side of my belly.  The girl has moxie!  I have diagnosed myself and believe all of the cramping and contractions we due to her turning back to where she originally was located.

Our C-Section is scheduled for the 30th, yup, in two days!  I'm feeling fine with it.  Is there a chance that she may turn (head down - bottom up), yes.  What are the statistics on that...??  Waiting to go into labor, finding out that she is still breech and having to go into an emergency C-Section adds another level of stress, that I personally prefer to avoid.  So, ready or not here she comes!
