I would like to ask for your prayers. God decided to surprise us with a new blessing in our late 40s.  I've had 7 natural births, but this baby has been firmly breech for some time. The midwives want to start trying various forms of "intervention" to turn the baby. (Anyone had experience with moxibustion?) I really don't want to have a c-section. Not only because it's a surgical procedure, but also because we have a really high deductible.
During this pregnancy, I also found a lump in my breast. At first, they thought it was okay, but now the OB and midwives think it should be biopsied. At first, I put it off, because I couldn't face adding anything to this pregnancy.  But after their insistence, I am scheduled for the biopsy this Monday. I would appreciate any prayers you can offer up during this stressful time.
UPDATE: Well, I've tried tons of things to try to get baby to turn, but no such luck. They've scheduled me for a c-section on Tuesday. I have heard of cases of babies turning in labor, so I still have some hope for a natural delivery, but I'm resigned to the fact that God may not have that in His plan for me. I ask again for your prayers as I face this new challenge.

Congratulations! Praying for you and baby (turn, baby, turn!), and praying that you may remain peaceful in the midst of the stress of additional concerns at this time. 
And Congratulations!

I had an external version done after I was in labor and it worked beautifully. I did have to ready for a c-section but didn't need it. Will be praying for you I hate high deductables I think it really changes health care choices not for the better...  Annie

Praying for you, as well! A lot of stress to add to the already stressful/difficult time of late pregnancy! Will pray that all goes well with your biopsy.
ETA: I saw you asked about maxibustion. I am actually having a chiropractor doing something pretty much like maxibustion, just using a TENS machine with electrical current on the acupuncture point, instead of the normal method acupuncturists use of heated herbs or sticks. She is also performing the Webster Technique a few times until I go back to the doctor Wednesday, and we'll see if baby has turned. You can look for a chiropractor trained in the Webster Technique here at the ICPA website. I also watched a video I found on You Tube of the Webster Technique being performed, which I found helpful to know what I was going to have done at the visit with the chiropractor.
BTW, congratulations on your Precious Surprise!

How wonderful about the baby! Congratulations! Praying that you will receive the best medical care for you and your child.
How scary about the lump! Praying for you on that front, too.

UPDATE: I saw a breast specialist this morning, and she felt that the mass was a lymph node that looked healthy. So no biopsy needed after all--at least at this time!!! 
Also, there's a chance the baby may have turned. The midwife wasn't quite sure. They've scheduled another ultrasound in a couple of weeks to check.
Thank you, everyone, for your prayers!! You don't know how much I appreciate it. It is SUCH a BLESSING to receive them regardless of the outcome!

Yes, thank you for updating! So good to hear that things seem to be "turning around"...
Yes, I'm a dork. Sorry. 
Very, very relieved for you, though.
