thanks for those who commented on my breech baby! I have already booked a session of reflexology on Wed and have my 36 week scan the following Wed- looks like I am on the floor on my hands and knees for a bit then!!!

Keeping fingers crossed

Morning all, I think I've started a new thread, just got to try and link it now.

here

Hi all,

Congratulations again boob, just looked at the pictures and she is gorgeous. I had a little teary moment knowing my baby will be here soon too.

Ronnie - this LO was breech at 34 weeks too. I just spent some time on my hands and knees, hanging over my birth ball etc and she had turned by 36 weeks.

STT - glad the baby has turned. I have all the tender spots too as she has her foot wedged in my ribs. I'm blaming DP as he is 6ft3 and she obviously has his long legs and big feet .

Hi Saraheb - sorry you are suffering with SPD. I can sympathise with the lack of elegance, DP spends a lot of time laughing at me these days, especially when I have to get off a seat or the bed .

I've spent the last 3 days bouncing on my birth ball etc trying to encourage the baby to move down a bit and engage as she was very high at my 38 weeks appointment. Don't know whether it has helped but my hips and thighs ache and it has brought the SPD back so my pelvis is really sore. I'm probably overdoing it but I really want my home birth so I don't want to go too far overdue.

Ahhh, very cute pics theboob, she's lovely

I hope your migraine gets better very soon.

oops should have been dd not ds - whayt a mistake to make! perhaps this one will be?

theboob pictures of Madison are sooo cute - good job I am already pregnant. Makes me want the next few weeks (or days) to rush by! She was born on a fantastic day too - same as my birthday, lol.

sparkly and ruby Thanks for your messages, I woke up feeling a little more human today with a bit more mobility. The afternoon of rest yesterday must have worked - perhaps I have been doing to much.

HC I pity you your ocld. Hope it gets better soon.

fidelma ds sounds like he is looking forward to the baby arriving. My ds is very excited but there is a 10 year gap for me. Definately feeling my age this time round.

Has the new thread been made?

ronnie - my baby was breech at 36 weeks and was booked in for an ECV to try an turn him

BUT i had refelxology and moxibustion and he turned - around 3 hours after the treatments i had hours of Braxton Hicks and the baby was sooooo active

we went for the scan this Wednesday (37 + 2)and he was head down! Would highly recommened it TBH

Your baby still has plenty of time to move at this stage

sarah - i sympathise with the SPD. I can't trun over in bed without having to put my knees together and shuffling. If i lay on the sofa, DH has to drag me up

HC - hope your cold is better soon

hope everyone else is doing ok - just seen a nice looking recipe which i am going to have a look at

have good days all

Picture's on profile , I did put them on yesturday but forgot to say , had a bad night last night but milk is in now and i think it will take her a while to settle down with it, had to go shopping for feeding bra's as I'm now a whopping 36 GG
it really did take it out of me and i have had a migrane since then
glad to hear no more breech babies , as i was pushing they thought Madison had turned breech , but luckily not, cant wait for someone else to pop so we can start the next stage thread

Saraheb, that does sound mightily uncomfortable, I hadn't realised that SPD could cause so much restriction in movement - very sorry you are suffering like this, hope its not making the end of pregnancy completely unenjoyable for you.

Yesterdays scan showed that baby is head down, its face was pointing to my left side, and we got a lovely picture of that, bottom is high on my right under my ribs, and the feet are curled up on my left under my ribs, extending out to the side when it kicks - explains all the tender spots!

My internal showed that my cervix is high, thick and closed and baby's head is nowhere to be seen. Plenty of birth ball bouncing scheduled for me then! She wasn't able to do a sweep, so its pretty much weekly checkups from here, but she said she didn't want me to go past 41+2 if possible, and we'd review options (discuss elective cs) if LO holds on that long.

Thank you for all the kind replies. It seems my so called big baby is tiny compared to some. DH panicked when I told him I may be brought on early. Especially as the builders are not coming back til Wed - the day I am seeing the consultant. I am just not going to get worried about it as I am sure we will cope whatever happens. Baby won't care, I'm sure.

MeHimCatBlob - The idea of using my good leg to lift my bad one sounds good but I can't actually lift either leg up high enough to get it on the bed if I sit on it. Found a new way tonight though. Put my left knee on the bed and gradually move further onto the bed until I can turn onto my side (still keeping legs together with left foot next to right knee - tricky but doable) - then just grit my teeth and holding my right knee I bend the leg to raise it and pull it onto the bed. Then pause to get breath back before shuffling my bottom round into vaguely the right place moving legs down in the bed. Takes another pause before I am sat up (which I am now typing this). The next task will be to turn on my left side so I can sleep for a couple of hours.

I never imagined getting into bed would be this difficult or painful! I'm glad there is noone to see me doing this as it's not a very elegant manoevre. DH tries to keep a straight face as I am doing it when he asks if he can help.
I know he loves and cares for me but it is really starting to irritate me when he mimics my movements and exaggerates them (at least I hope he is exaggerating them .

Ah well time to try the final movement. Night all.
