proud of myself

[annie4]

went to the hospital on fri - saw the senior reg and discussed
1. csection - def. ok with him
2. date of section (i want 38wks cause of oh's uni dates) - he has made a note but nothing decided yet
3. my sleeping tablets - fine to keep using
4. my holiday - fit and healty of go - whoo hoo
im proud becasue usually im c**p at explaining myself to docs or i forget everything i meant to ask
Finally -
my prouest bit - he scanned me - babe is lying transverse (all my babes do!!) but babe is weighting at 3.5 lbs - measuring for about 30weeks) - now i know it has little to do with me but i am unbelievibly proud of myself that my baby is a bit on the big side - I am only 5ft and all my babies have been q.small ie
7,10
6,8
6,4
- maybe im going to get a big bruiser this time

Well done Annie. I know what you mean about not putting your point across sometimes. I can be like that too.

It's great that LO is growing well and is a good size too.

annie - does transverse mean lying across your stomach instead of head up or down? (long time since I did this baby stuff )

My youngest sister is almost 36 weeks and the baby was breech - now it looks like it's moved across her stomach (she's naturally v skinny - you can almost count the baby's fingers and toes through her bump ) Do babies generally move from this position? She delivered about 2 weeks early with her first and is worried that she'll start early again with the baby lying like this.

yes - i think so anyway - almost like a banana shape - i dont know if they move from this position - my 1st did but went back to back - my 2nd started head down and swung round transverse once my waters broke, my 3rd was transvers whole way until date of section. - I think my babies lie like this because even though i am only 5ft - my legs are a regualar size - so my top half is actually VERY short and they just cant get room to go head/bum down

Hopefully your sisters baby will turn - what happended last time?? - it think if they stay transverse they oofer to try and turn the baby (i refused this) otherwise they go to csection

My baby is laying transverse, she has been like this for weeks now so will I have to have a Csection?
My bump is low and I do have a small frame so I think she might not have enough room to go head down.

vicky - dont let my experience panic you - porobably lots of lo's turn well in time - it just hasnt been that way for me. Have you talked to the doc/mw about the transverse lie? On the upside - i love Csections - pm me if you want more details

I have a growth scan on tuesday morning so I will know more about it then.
In my maternity record the m/w has put '?transverse' so if she put the question mark in then she can't be 100% sure how the baby is laying (is she actually qualified or what lol) but I know the baby is laying across.
I still have 6 weeks and 6 days left so I wont start worrying about it until nearer the time but the idea of a csection doesn't really seem that bad,

I'm really small too, and my baby was lying across the way for quite a while but when I went for scan last Tuesday the head was right down. S/he was really curled up, but I'm sure the babies have plenty of room (and time) to turn round. I was sitting on and leaning over my ball so maybe this helped? x

Last time the baby was in a normal position (amazingly as she turned into the most awkward child ever ) Yesterday evening it seemed as though the baby turned again although she's unsure whether he's gone breech or head down She was also having v strong BH so strong that I was wondering if they weren't actually BH Last time she fell into the same trap as me as our BHs were so strong we didn't realise labour had started So maybe it's moving ready to make its way out
