Navigating the journey of pregnancy often brings unexpected twists and turns, and for me, a recent doctor’s visit on January 25th was a stark reminder of this reality. At 38 weeks and 6 days pregnant, I received the news that my baby was fully breech. The options presented to me were limited: either undergo a cephalic version or opt for a c-section, as the chances of the baby flipping head down at this late stage were slim.

The weight of this news hit me hard, leaving me feeling overwhelmed and disheartened. The combination of a significant blood draw and the reality of the situation took a toll on me both physically and emotionally.
