Hello Dr. Siegel.

Sorry for the questions coming in dribs and drabs...

The perinatologist agreed, givin the due date question (nope, no closer to having a firm due date!) we should wait a week to attempt the version. I will be 36-37 ish weeks.

New question: I take Atenenol to control "supraventricular tachacardia". (Meds might be contributing to the baby's small size?) The perinatologist mentioned that we may not want to use Terbutaline in this case. Perhaps Magnesium, he said?

Any thoughts on medication choice during the version? I've read about using epidurals...

Thanks so much for answering my questions. Such a luxury to able to run these questions by other doctors!
