breech baby at 39 weeks

shamma

So this is my first pregnancy and let's just say my little girl has made it clear from the very beginning that she is boss!

I found out at about week 32 that she was breech and I made every attempt to get this baby to turn around...From desperately bouncing around on my birthing ball, crawling on all 4s, sitting forward, etc. I even had an ECV and my stubborn little mare still refused to budge.

I had to then accept that a C-section is the only way forward, as not only is she breech but her feet are below her bum too! (she is literally breaking all the rules)

I'm booked in for the 15th January, 4days before my actual due date and I've been told she should be here by 1pm latest.. I feel like I'm waiting for a special Amazon delivery.

What should I expect ladies? I'm worried about recovery time and how dependant I will be on my husband for help.
