Oh What Fun!!

Well back from my 36 week MW appointment (couple of day early due to Xmas).

Bubs is still breech, but then I knew that already So have to go back and see MW on New Years Eve, and then if he is still breech I go straight to the hospital for another scan to confirm - and then straight to see a consultant to discuss our options!

She has also explained that I may go into early labour, or at least my waters might go sooner rather than later........as apparently breech babies cause uneven pressure and he is also slightly engaged already!

Fingers crossed he stays put a while longer

Well sorry to hear bubs hasnt moved into a better position for you, still that's just nature sometimes, as long as they are looking after you, im sure all will be well in the end, take it easy and have a good christmas anyway.

I think you can guess

Only options are:
ECV
and/or C-Section
Some hospitals will do a breech delivery, but we think mine is footling breech, which means a definite c-section if he doesnt turn soon!

awww hun sorry he's not turned for you...... I imagine you've tried all positions, on all 4s etc.. etc

Sounds like they are looking after you though, which is good...

Do you think you would go for the ECV?

You're no stupid! ECV is some sort of procedure where they try and turn the baby from the outside.... stands for External Cephalic Version.....

thanks lisa!!

eeek sounds painful!?

We have decided we wont be going down the ECV route, as it only has a 50% success rate, and it can cause stress on bubs - and yes have heard it can be really painful!!
