Ok, I need some words of wisdom from you here!
I've just had my 34 week appointment and baby is currently sitting breech. Now this doesn't worry me at the moment because I know with 5 and a bit weeks to go there's a good chance it'll go into the right position. However the doc and my Midwife have made me another appointment for 2 weeks and a scan where they'll try and encourage baby to move head down but if this doesn't work then obviously if baby's breech it's going to be a c-section for me!
Now I've never given it much thought as it didn't cross my mind with Harry and up until now I've just assumed it'll be a normal delivery with this one.
I'd like to know a few things....I know it's a big operation and that your supposed to not do anything for up to 6 weeks afterwards...this is a bit of a pain as living on a farm in the country and having horses, I usually need to be up and about especially if I need to go anywhere. Does 6 weeks really mean 6 weeks or can you chance driving, looking after a toddler and getting on with things as normal after a few weeks?
Also, how long do you stay in hospital for? I'd hoped to be in and out with this one and I know this wouldn't be the case with a section.
Finally, do they let you get to 40 weeks before booking you in for one, or would it be likely that it'll be a few weeks early and while everyone is enjoying their turkey, I'll be the one getting sliced into?
Thanks for your help!
