Another Tooth & A Version

Shira had dad pull her second loose tooth, which was right next to the other one. She was even more brave the second time and below she is proudly displaying her tooth.
At my doc. apt. last week we found out the baby was breech, which meant I would get a c-section if he didn't turn. My doctor suggested a version, which is just an external manipulation to move the baby head down. As I did a little research I found two things out; versions can be extremely painful & not that successful (only 65%). We went into the hospital this morning at 7am where they prepare you for an emergency c-section in case anything goes wrong. After monitoring the baby and all that fun stuff, my doctor came in with his wife who is a perinatologist and would perform the version. From the time she started pushing on my stomach, which was painful but not unbearable, and the time she stopped, it only lasted about 20 seconds!!!! She was good and I was thrilled that it all went so well. The nurse said she had never seen one go so fast and easy. So, if things stay the way they are, we should be able to let this little guy come out the natural way and on his own time!!!!

I hope he stays put! and doesn't turn around again! I am glad the version worked for you too. Good luck these next few weeks!
