Ooooh wish me luck, i got midwife thursday and im really hoping hes turned i just want peice of mind for the next 2weeks. Iv never looked forward to a midwife appointment as much as im looking forward to and dreading thursdays one. Im going on my own with my daughter aswell so just really hoping hes turned as i might break down if they say hes still in same position x

good luck for thursday!!! I always get nervous now for appointments cos I want to hear he's head down and starting to engage. Some of the midwives dont even say, so after theyve felt I actually have to ask! I want my normal midwife back!!

Just thought id update now. Baby is STILL breech i felt his head at top again, looks like a csection is going to be my only option. Im talking to midwife tomorrow as if i have a section i want it at 37weeks as itll be the start of my daughters summer holidays so atleast ill be slightly better by the time my daughter starts school. Iv been up all night crying because baby is clearly stuck where he is coz hes so big and i feel like poo because i no i wont have any more kids if im cut open and i suffered from dpression when me and my ex split and it never fully went and i think itll come back really bad if i have a section. Just really dunno what to do or feel right now. My OH is worried incase anything happens to me or baby as he lost his dad 2/3 years ago and he doesnt want to lose anyone else especialy me. Just feel so useless and i blame the baby because my body knows what to do he just wont work with my body to turn.

All my worst fears will happen in 1 day, a drip, epidural, cathita, operation, not being able to hold my baby for ages and being stuck in hospital for at least 3 nights. I cant see the positive side to having a baby anymore. x

Aww hun nothing else I can really say as you won't believe me if I say that I'm sure everything will be ok... I guess try and focus on having a healthy lo at the end of it all

 

[becks20]

Has your LO turned yet? Im hoping i can book in for a section at 37weeks and if he turns before then have him naturally, do you think id beable to do that? As i think they only worry from 37weeks but if hes still measuring bigger then i think they will want him out at 37weeks x

 

[Rowesb]

Fraid so. Turned at the weekend. I guess what u want sounds feasible, but will depend on what the views are of those looking after you...

 

[becks20]

Aww atleast your babys doing the right thing. Just really hope within the next few days i can say hes turned but really doubt its going to happen x

I really really hope this little one turns for you and you get your natural birth!
I know what you mean about all the enjoyment being out of it cause even sorting out all his little socks and stuff last night couldnt lift me out of my downer. I'm still seriously considering having the general but like you, think that'll increase my chances of the depression coming back. I only came off my tablets because I was pregnant so the chances are quite high anyway

We really need to have a word with these babies of ours!!!!

Dunno if this will help but I'm measuring small now, but fully anticipate a large baby and it has moved with just using the ball, sitting on it only. Have they suggested/mentioned manually turning? x

 

[becks20]

My little man is measuring 2weeks ahead and so hes around 6lb-ish already but i not thats right because at my 28wk growth/4d scan showed him 3lb 1oz instead of 2lb. But hes on track to be 9lb+ which is about right as my daughter was 9lb 3oz.

Apparently they dont like manually turning babies anymore because its too painful but im going to ask her tomorow about it. Iv been doing the rocking on all fours thing with my head lower then my bum and i keep getting dizzy but i carry it on because its ment to help but clearly not. I sat on the ball and my bump sank into my legs and apparently sitting like that stops baby from turning so i stopped that, plus it gives me back ache on the ball.

Hes started moving alot the last few days but just general movements nothing like a turn but hes getting annoyed because he pushes hisleg out the side of my tummy asif hes trying to get more space but cant x

When I asked my hospital midwife about what I could do too help turn baby she said not a lot but started talking about the breech clinic my antenatal unit has... So it sucks if yours won't do it, as plenty of other areas will

 

[becks20]

Other areas are better equipt then mine lol Seems southend hospital covers a large area id think they would have more labour rooms and maybe a birthing unit, they have a birthing unit but its 3 rooms on the labour ward lol.

Anyway my OH has booked the afternoon off tomorrow to come see midwife with me and hopefully she will give me something possitive as i cant do another 2 weeks of thinking "hes not moved" I would like a scan or something to make me feel like they are trying to do something, seems its my 2nd they arent really bothered. x
