We had our 34 week check up today and Riley has not turned yet. She flipped her back from my left side to my right, but her head is still up. I go back for my next appointment in 2 weeks (March 3rd) if she has not turned by then I will have to head to the hospital for a procedure called an external cephalic version (ECV). This is where they will try to turn her, but the doctor today said that a lot of the times if the version works the baby tends to just return to their original position, since that is how they are most comfortable.
SO......if that is the case and Riley is determined to stay heads-up then we will have to schedule a c-section. I am not too worried about it. I think that she will turn, she is REALLY active and always moving. But if she doesn't then it is not a big deal, I am ok with having a c-section. I say that now...but who knows when the time comes. On the bright side, if I have a c-section then I get two more weeks of paid leave!! Well stay tuned, I will update you when I know more!!

I can't believe how close you are to having that baby! It might not seem that way to you, but it seems like your pregnancy has flown by. Good luck with the next few weeks!
