Definitely frustrating, it starts at 20-something weeks and could potentially go on for 10+ weeks so it's hard to know what to do half the time.
I've been really pleased being in this time and it's made me even more hopeful for the VBAC as I had two doctors (out of three that I saw) who were really positive about it. The first was surprised that a section had been the automatic plan, the second said he'd seen in my notes that I was looking at a VBAC and that I'd been talking to my consultant about it. He went on to be really positive about it and said that we take small risks every day and we can't avoid them. I was worried before that I would have a fight when I eventually go in and I'd have to refer everyone to my consultant/ SoM but they've been so positive that I'm not worried. One of them was a little shocked that I'm planning a VBAC but if that comes up again I'll just ask for someone else or tell them to go and ring my consultant.
Just catching up with the other posts. Thanks everyone for your comments 
Scarthy, at this point it doesn't mean much, babies can turn even in labour. When I went in on Thursday baby was head down, she was breech this morning and when they came to check at lunch time she was head down!
buttonmoon, Mum and I are often mistaken for sisters. People are always surprised she has any grandchildren let alone 7.5! Used to be funny when I was younger, I always held her hand when out, even as a teen, you could see people sniggering at us so I'd make sure I said something deliberately loud with a "Mummy" in there.
I know what you mean about 30 weeks. I always thought my eldest wasn't that premature then someone asked me what 31 weeks was in months, saying "7 months" for the first time really freaked me out! That's why I always talk about that magic 3X you just feel so much better once you're into the 30s.
Of course you've given birth if you've had a section or instrumental birth, it's not for anyone else to tell you otherwise! (Personally I don't feel I haven't because I wasn't even there when they were born but that's my situation and as far as I'm concerned everyone else has) Although the instrumental birth of a breech is incredibly dangerous and the reason why breech tends to be a section these days - our birth professionals just don't have the skills to deliver a breech, aka leave the heck alone!
Fraochsmum, just got my manual out for you. Syntometrine (the injection they give as baby is born) can increase the risk of retained placenta so it's worth skipping that if you're worried, too much management of the third stage can cause it. If possible breastfeed straight away to get the uterus to contract on it's own. If it was retained because of too much management then not over managing will help but if it was because of adhesion to a scar it could happen again.
Pesha, it is a lot harder! It seems like everything in my life revolves around it - getting others to cover school runs, to housework, to getting myself to hospital appointments, to planning which bed they give me on the ward! That seems to sum up my life at the moment...
I've always found Asda clothes smaller since my 4 year old was a baby. When she was in everyone else's prem (spell check wanted me to put "else's sperm") size Asda was newborn and she was growing out of Asda newborn when she was going into everyone else's. I didn't have much from Asda for my youngest but it was the same with what we did have. It only seems to be the baby size clothes (up to 18 months) rather the child clothes (from 1 year).
Fab, you can get away with one even if you're not planning to supplement too often. Express into a bottle then transfer into milk bags, defrost one bag at a time (dip in lukewarm water, they defrost really quickly) as you need it. You don't really need too many bottles anyway as they should be sterilised as you need them, so unless you're doing cold water you shouldn't be getting too big a backlog of bottles (hope that makes sense, trying to ignore another tightening as I'm typing)
Pumps and bottles aren't universal, some are pretty much but things like Tommee Tippee's Closer to Nature (what I have) is brand specific. They break down really easily and you wash/ sterilise anything that comes into contact with your breast or milk. Most of the things that you need to sterilise can be steam/ boil/ cold water/ microwave sterilised so all depends on your preference.
Eglu, have you tried peas? Wrap a bag of frozen peas (or anything really, don't think the baby knows the difference 
) in a tea towel and put it on bits that are too high in your ribs. It's good for turning a baby too.
I've not done classes this time, lazy really more than anything, but last time the NCT class were totally opposite to me. I was the only one going for a second one, they were all first timers and they were very much medical model/ formula feeding etc. I spoke with the two ladies who ran the course and they said it happens a lot like that and they just have to tailor it to the group because if they're not interested in the natural route there's no point talking too much about things they're not going to do. My hospital course was totally different! It was also an NCT course but a second (+) timer course so people were more realistic about expectations so a lot more into the natural things. We had someone from the NHS sit in on us one week because they're hoping to roll that model of antenatal class out across the country.
