Well, we had a visit with the second doctor today; not the delightfully fresh-faced Dr. Buek, but the stylish and reassuring Dr. Bowles-Johnson. Z's still breech, and holding her own, although apparently her ass is not beating down the gates of Susie's cervix anymore, so that's a win.
The Dr. B-J's professional opinion is that Z's not going to do The Big Flip anytime soon, so we're given one of two options.
One solution offered was for Susie to go in and have her belly kneaded like a loaf of fresh dough for an hour or two so to try to convince the intransigent Z to get with the program (this is a procedure known as "External cephalic version"). It has the combined attributes of 1) being extremely painful; and 2) having a low success rate.
So they've scheduled a Caesarian for October 25th. A Scorpio just like dear ole Mom.
