BR T&P: Frank Breech @ 36 Weeks
We just got home from our 36 week OB appointment and baby boy is frank breech:
We have scheduled a version for Friday, 2/25 @ 8:00 a.m. but we have our next weekly appointment on Thursday 2/24 @ 5:40 p.m. so they can will be able to check his position one more time before the version appointment. Good news is my cervix is still closed, so there's still cooking time for him in there and time for him to flip.
This explains the burning sensation I've been feeling in my right ribs (this is where his head is pushing hard on my ribs) and the pain in my left ribs (which is where he's tapping his little toesies).
We're kind of freaking out though because if something goes wrong they'll have to do an emergency c-section that day, so I'll be 37 weeks and that means a baby in 8 days. This is unlikely, but it's still a possibility. However, if we don't try and he doesn't flip on his own, I'd have to have a c-seciton anyways, which I really really don't want obviously.
So if you ladies could send some awesome niner vibes, thoughts, prayers, whatever our way that this little guy will flip back to head down, which he's been this WHOLE time until now, we would appreciate it.

Aww man that sucks! Frank breech is one of the best breech positions you can ask for though. I've read that position can dialate the cervix as well as the head does.
Anyway, did your doc suggest any exercises for helping baby to turn on his own? I'd double check with your doc before trying these things on your own but I've heard of these suggestions working, especially the pelvic tilt.
