I'm looking for some reassurance really as third is my first baby. I'm 38 weeks on Thursday and have an anterior placenta and the baby is /was breech at my last scan a week and a half ago.
I'm now booked in for a c section and have got my head around it and am now feeling OK after speaking to lots of people about it.
The issue is i get very very few movements. The ones i do get are now like the flutters people describe at 20 weeks ( i never got anything at all until about 26). On a normal day i get up to 5 flutters. Because they are so tiny they are easy to miss and often just feel a little like gas. I've been in to hospital three times recently too go on the monitor as i hadn't felt anything for over a day.
Firstly is there anyone else out there like this who can reassure me.
Secondly does anyone know what surgeons are like about performing a c section even if the baby has turned by the time i go in. I just don't know if i can deal with possibly three weeks more of constant panic that the baby isn't moving.
Thanks in advance for any help xx
