Scheduled c section

Megan

I feel like my body has failed my baby boy. I am currently 35 weeks with a 7lb and 3oz baby, his head is measuring at 41 weeks. And he’s breeched. Going to the ultrasounds kill me, he is so squished in there. He has no more room, and we don’t go in until 39 weeks for a c section. He has 4 more weeks of growing, and he’s been already way out of room. I feel like my body failed my boy, he has no room to turn, he’s squished up in there. I just feel helpless for him. I feel like my body should allow him more space, it should allow him the space he needs to flip. Our OB doesn’t even suggest an aversion because he’s too big, and the chances are very very low. I didn’t want a c section at all, I didn’t want to be robbed of labor. Now I will carry my son for 9 months, then go in and just have him cut out of me. I’ll never get to have contractions, and at least experience a little bit of labor. All of it feels like so much right now. I just feel like I’m failing my son, and at the same time selfishly feeling robbed of getting that experience of labor and contractions with him.
