Hurrah! MamaG has very cleverly got her placenta to move to NO c-section (touch wood) and NO two week stay in hospital beforehand! OH, the cleverness of me!

[MamaG]

I am delighted. Sure nobody on here gives a shit but I'm sharing anyway

Had scan today and its well out of the way - not sure quite why I'm so delighted at the prospect of pushing a third child out of my 'jo, but never mind.

Consultant said baby is bigger than average but all fine

[MamaG]

oh FFS

title should read so no c-section, not TO c-section

OH the stupidness of me!

[BecauseImWorthIt]

Good news.

[belgo]

that's good news.

[TheProvincialLady]

That is good news. Congratulations on your placenta moving abilities (did you employ the power of the mind or complicated physical contortions?)

[MamaG]

maybe I'll appear on "the perfect vagina 2" having my wizard's sleeve trimmed afterwards

[BoysAreLikeDogs]

yay

[thesockmonsterofdoom]

we hey, thats fab news. surely there won't be a lot of pushing involved for no3.

[ILikeToMoveItMoveIt]

Well done that placenta, how clever of you to get it to move

Remember sizing scans are often 15% out - so don't give it a thought!

[MamaG]

Theprovlady - it was thanks to my will of iron, I think (and standing on my head, as cali said)!

[TheProvincialLady]

ILTMIMI are you saying that the baby could be 15% bigger than estimated?

[ilovemydog]

mine moved at 35 weeks. huge relief!

go girl....

[ILikeToMoveItMoveIt]

Oh blimey . I should have said an overestimate of up to 15%.

[nobodysfool]

I'm impressed but what will really impress me if you can move mine as well!
Why would you need a 2 week stay in hosp??Is that the norm?

[expatinscotland]

HURRAY!

[MamaG]

at 15% bigger

nobodysfool - I would need the two week stay only because I live in the sticks and a good hour's drive from the nearest hospital - if you have a low lying placenta and go into labour, you need to have hte CS PDQ and apparently an hour away is too much, hence the 2 week stay.

People who live in "normal" areas are ok at home, I think!

[nobodysfool]

Thanks MamaG-I thought they were keeping me in the dark.
Glad everything seems to be going well,good luck x

[MamaG]

and you - how many weeks are you?

[mehgalegs]

Hurrah! Good news.

How long now?

[lulumama]

so , your placenta is no longer in lancaster. that is great news !

i was told DD would be big and DS, come to thik about it, and both were under 8 lbs...

your 'jo will stretch, my dear ... just think streeeeeetchy thoughts

[nobodysfool]

mamag-I'm only 20 weeks but they have told me there is little hope of it moving as it's total previa-c section hee i come (again).

[MamaG]

8 weeks go to meghalegs - but more likely to be 10 weeks - my babies love being in my womb and never want to come out on time

Lulu - LOL at lancaster, that was so funny wasn't it . I can confirm that its 100% lodged in my womb!

Nobodysfool - Good luck, the thing that I was cross and anxious about was being in hospital for 2 weeks beforehand (DS has just started school and I also have a DD aged 9, the thought of being without them for 2 weeks apart from the odd visit was really getting to me). That bothered me a lot more than the thought of a CS.

[lulumama]

seriously, am really pleased !

you know that this one will be early, just to keep you on your toes...
