A Molly Story Part 2.5~ Turn Baby Turn!

So the ECV (external version) was a success!! The nurse I had was very sweet but was new and there were a few glitches* before we got started, but once she got the IV in we were good to go. Dr. S started the procedure right away and Molly wasn't having any of it. On the pain level it definitely wasn't the most pleasant experience and I don't tolerate pain very well (My mom even had a hard time watching it) but I think I did pretty good. Her heart rate stayed stable so Dr. S tried again, this time trying to move her in the opposite direction. Again baby girl wasn't budging. Her heart rate was still good so Dr. S decided to try one more time. Before the last try she tipped the bed back as far as it would go so that I was at a 45 degree angle with my head towards to the floor. They checked head placement and found that she had indeed turned and was head down ready to go. Dr. S didn't think it was necessary to schedule an induction or c-section which made me happy! They kept me hooked up to the monitors to make sure we were both OK. Then they discharged me about an hour and a half later to go home and wait for her to decide to make her appearance.

*By glitches I mean the moron sweetheart that was my nurse blew the vein in my hand and hit a nerve.

Usually needles etc. don't bother me but when my whole hand turns black and blue and makes me look like a crackhead I'm not a fan.
