Today was 98 degrees at 10AM this morning. Think what it must be now. Whew. Like I said before, hot weather is not a pregnant woman's best friend. Anyway survived going to the specialist this morning. They confirmed that baby bean was breech. They said he was "frank breech" which means: the baby's butt is towards the birth canal and his legs stick straight up in front of the body, so his feet are towards his head. hmm I wonder if he's ok to be in that position. Anyway, they also confirmed that he is currently 6 lbs 9 oz. That's pretty big already. They didn't tell me if turning the baby around physically from the outside is a possible option, but the specialist said that usually they prefer to try even if it doesn't work because, if let's say you do have to go into emergency labor (due to baby's blood pressure dropping), then you end up having a c-sect which was the only other alternative option to begin with. This would take place in a hospital so I suppose you would be in good hands. Anyways, he said I would need to discuss the options with my regular ob/gyn on my next visit, which is this Monday. And now I have to visit the specialist every week until labor to check and make sure all is ok with baby since I am over 35. Doctor visits galore.
And on a different note, I just wanted to give a shout out to Birkenstocks. The only sandals I've been wearing since the start of Spring. I don't think I would be able to walk as much as I do, if it weren't for these shoes. They are definitely taking a beating this summer. And even with my swollen, bloated feet, I can still fit into them. Sometimes my feet hurt, after walking for long periods, because the arch supports etc push up against your feet, but all in all they offer the best support. I think I would have had more back pain than what I suffer from now, if I weren't wearing them. Besides the permanent t-strap suntan that I now sport because of the sandals, all on all, these are good shoes to own.
