Uh oh...

I hope this is no testament to Camila's stubbornness but she is officially upside down (breech) and pretty adamant about not moving. We suspected so about 6 weeks ago and confirmed it via ultrasound that she is indeed breech.

The next step is to use a technique called "sifting" and hope that it encourages her to flip around. If that does not work by next week my doctor will either look into scheduling a C-section, continuing the shifting and waiting to see what happens, or consider trying to manipulate her with his hands and get her to flip around, called external cephalic version. This only works about 50-60% of the time and can create complications such as premature labor.

On a good note, I grouted the bathroom today!

you should try acupuncture, and the chiropractor. But even if you get the version done she may turn back around by the time you need to deliver. At least that is what my friend told me. Good luck though. ihope she is ok. if Miss Camilla comes early her and Taryn may have their weight in common.
