[hennaly]

mine has done exactly the same, i think its where baby has gone right up under my ribs and gone back to back

 

[clairescunny55]

mine was like that when ryan was breech. i wouldnt worry too much, just mention it to midwife when you go next

 

[charlotteheys85]

hmmm, i hope hes not tunred around he was 2/5th engaged when hospital checked, but bump has felt diff since other day,

alot more pressure under ribs, heartburn and the obveous flab lol...

Yeh I was going to say the same as Hen! When Lola turns back to back my tum goes a little smaller and flabby lol!
Babys best position for birth is with her facing your spine! If shes turned back to back then her back is against your back and shes facing your outwards! Try sitting on a birthing ball, try and keep your knees lower than your hips all the time while sitting, dont slouch or lie on your back, erm.... cant think of more oh do as Hen does and get on all fours for a while each day too! Lola can change from one way to the next daily so she could turn back at any point!

Yeh its supposed to hurt more and give you more back pain but as you dont have another labour to compare it with, you wont be able to tell that its more painful if you know what I mean?! I had the drip with my first son and didnt realise it was more painful then a "normal" labour because I hadnt done it before! Im sure you will be completely fine hun and Im sure she will turn back!

 

[chickadee1976]

Yeah mines is like that too, shes breech just now

ur right about the pain thing, i havent a clue what to expect so if it hurts less (nxt time, f there is one) then it'll be a bonus hehe...

As your a mummy to many, what do braxton hicks feel like, sorry changing post topic, i dont think i've felt them, but i do feel like a tight feeling, but to me its just him sticking part his body out or somethin? xx

 

[hennaly]

i was always told that you dont get bh with your first baby and i cant remember back that far now but all i can say is my tummy goes like a bullet

Im glad you answered that Hennaly lol I have no idea Charlotte! I never had them with the others so when my tummy hurts and goes hard Im presuming its BH but could be baby moving out? I have no idea lol!

Thanks for that link Hennaly! Its really helpful to me understanding why Ih ave had different pains with this baby and also why I have BH when i didnt last times!

Although I couldnt help but laugh at this part:- 'Persistent Occiput Posterior' means that the baby is born in the OP position - otherwise known as "face to pubes".

Yeah I had a laugh at that too! What a description!? heehee
"Oh yes my baby was born facing my pubes instead of my butt! " hahahahah

 

[ninjawomble]

If the MW said the baby was " face to pubes" , I think I'd piddle laughing at her
Gawd Im childish
