The Escape Plan

I have been asked by Kim and Jason to take part in their Adultitis Escape Plan, a 40-day plan to become more childlike (not childish)
and to reduce stress and prevent dullness, depression and [insert
another word beginning with 'd' here]. Of course I’m gonna do it.

Dreary-ness, that begins with ‘D’.


The twenty-eighth task: Ask an expert something you are curious about in his/her field.

Jen and I went to see Dr Parry, our obstetrician.
She’s an expert in the whole field of baby delivery type stuff.

We asked her about breech deliveries vs. caesarean sections.

Found out a whole bunch of stuff on that topic. If the baby has it’s head up when it is due to be born, it is considered to be in the breech position. They should be facing the other direction (for best results).

Some doctors won’t deliver babies in the breech position, rather, they’ll just perform a c-section and take the baby out directly, as this way the baby won’t get ‘stuck’ on the way out. Dr Parry said she would let Jen try a breech delivery if she wanted as she’s had a baby before and so we her body can handle it.

Hopefully baby #2 will turn over shortly and we won’t have to do either of these options, but it is good to know what happens in both of them so we can make an informed decision if we need to.

RodeoClown: is praying that this baby will turn over soon. Please pray too.

Hi Ian,
gee I didn’t know Baby was breech.
We’ll definitely be praying for baby to turn soon.
Don’t know why but my bloglines account only brought up these posts today. Strange!!
You’ve been a bit quiet lately. I have been meaning to get back to you about the reading thing, but haven’t had a chance until now and now it seems such a long time ago that it’s probably not really worth it any more. But thanks for your comments anyway.
Fran

Hi Fran, thanks for your prayers.

The only reason you got these just now was because I did a big update last night. No problem with bloglines :)

Also, fire away on the reading thing, It’s probably still worth it :)
