I went for a follow-up visit with my midwife last night due to a high blood pressure reading last week. Good news is my blood pressure is down slightly, so now big concerns at this point. I will be 31 weeks on Sunday so it is now time to start thinking about delivering these babies. We discussed some options last night and I am more confused than ever. Baby A, our boy, is vertex (head down) and has been since the very moment we saw him the first time. Our baby B, girl, can either be transverse (sideways) or breech (head up) neither position is ideal for delivering vaginally. Although, breech is a little bit more ideal, I am pretty sure she is transverse and continues to stay that way.
For delivery, I have the option of scheduling a c-section or attempting to deliver vaginally and risking an emergency c-section for baby B. I really do not want to recover from both but I also do not want major abdominal surgery. I guess the other option is to havea fairy magicially remove them from my belly??? I have to think long and hard about this decision. I hope to talk to other MoM's (mothers of multiples), read articles, talk it out experts such as my OB, and get through my first round of NST (Non Stress Test) and AFI (Amniotic Fluid Index) testing. Wish my luck!!!!
