Well, actually, with breech births the desire to perform a C-Section is often for the benefit of the mother, as the baby and pelvis aren't really designed to work together that way. The baby's legs can bend when it goes down and get caught, so it can cause more difficulties and pain and stress for mother and baby.
And you don't want an overly stressed baby during labour, because stressed babies can poo inside of mum, which isn't good.
Obviously there was no harm this time, and there's no desire to demand or force you to have your pregnancy/birth in a particular way, but it is really recommended that you go to a doctor prior to having a baby, if you suspect you're pregnant.
If you were there you could've had an ultrasound and then that would've told you that the baby was breech. Then they can perform a procedure (which is entirely non-intrusive) to attempt to shift the baby back into the normal position. And that's less worry on you, and makes the labour easier.
Furthermore, you get advice on pre-natal care, your midwife can go through with you about exercises to prepare for the birth, and generally just help out.
It's definitely not something you should balk at should you ever have another pregnancy.
That's not a bad size at all.
And not to understate the effort in a birth, but mum was lucky with her first time. She's on the smaller side (but perfectly healthy), being under 6 pounds.
Wise words. Thank you. I forgot to mention, they were in the middle of the ultra-sound when she went into full-labor. The doc wasn't expecting it either. lol.
Maybe later in her life you can show her daddy's artwork!
Congrats on the baby, though!
Old memories. lol. Maybe so
