I'm 39+2 with my first baby and I'm very paranoid he's back to back.
At my last 3 mw apps they've said my stomach muscles are very tight and had a bit of trouble telling which position he's been in, aside from head down. I've been on spinning babies and been tracking where I feel movements etc and I am worried that it seems like he probably is b2b. I'm currently booked in for a homebirth though am only 5 mins from the hospital by car so if I did need to transfer in for an epidural it should be okay.
I'm doing the spinning babies exercises but am getting a bit anxious about it; I've seen there are scans locally I can pay for, but they're £89 so a significant amount! I can afford it with a bit of a squeeze but I'm getting conflicting views from my community mw - 'a stubbornly posterior baby isn't likely to change position, though some do during labour' - vs hospital mw who I called to ask 'no point in a scan as they can move multiple times before birth'. Both have advised doing the exercises which I'll keep doing, and I'm religiously lying on my left hand side etc. I'm otherwise quite positive about the birth, I'm just nervy about this one thing - wish my stomach muscles would play ball!
Should I just say sod it and book the scan or am I being pregnancy-induced-daft? WWYD?
