ECV

This isn't me, btw. But I had this done yesterday because the little bugger had turned frank breech within the last week. I didn't get the nice drugs to help relax the uterus btw, nooooooo... and there were tears because it was so damn uncomfortable. I almost had to get the consultant to stop. It was accomplished in three stages, and he checked with the ultrasound between each part to see exactly where the Minion was lying. He eventually settled head down, but during the NST afterwards to check the little dude's heart rate I felt some sneaky movements that make me wonder if he hasn't already turned around again. There's a slightly higher volume of fluid around him than "normal" which means it's easier for him to turn anyway.

Guess we'll find out next week whether or not this will end up being a sunroof job!
