libbyssister · 31/07/2008 23:36

Oh god, I really need to keep up!

Happy Birthday Shazza!
Congratulations Dizzy, well done you!
Fingers crossed for you Cha Cha.
Glad to hear Saul is home IlanaK

Anyone else booked in to be 'turned'? I have an appointment for next Tuesday as I was scanned and checked this week and the bub is still breech. Just wondered if there was anyone else in the same boat. I'm not particularly looking forward to it but if it does the job and leads to the kind of birth I was hoping for, then all well and good...

Honestly, these babies keep surprising, huh!

TwilightSurfer · 31/07/2008 23:40

Libby I don't think anyone has mentioned being turned. All that are breech are getting CSs.

OP posts:
libbyssister · 31/07/2008 23:43

Oh. Just me then... Hey ho. Apparently it's got a good chance of working, but isn't very pleasant. Trying not to wind myself up about it.

How're you Twilight? Not long to go now!

TwilightSurfer · 31/07/2008 23:46

Shazza you are probably safe with your date. I can't promise anything but with all the starts and stops I've had, it would be my luck to have to be INDUCED.

As for the induction idea, I'm good with it. It will just be a sweep so really only a little different from the poking I've been getting every few days now.

As for MIL's departure and possible return, I've no clue what is actually going to happen and I'm afraid to ask without DH present to keep me in check. I did make it clear that once the baby arrived I didn't want any guests until Labor Day weekend (30AUG/31AUG) because I wanted time to get DD and baby use to each other AND try to establish some type of schedule without interruption.....since DD starts back to preschool the week of 18AUG. We shall see what happens.

OP posts:
TwilightSurfer · 31/07/2008 23:47

I'm hanging in here Libby. About your turn, you are correct...I've been told it IS uncomfortable. Good luck with it though.

For those with Babes already....If you choose to stay we can make the thread an ante/post thread...maybe making a title like
August 2008 Babies Already Delivered AND Waiting to Drop.

Honestly from my view point, it's nice to hear your chatter. But I will totally understand if you move on........

gigglegirl · 01/08/2008 00:53

morning ladies!

Got my to do list done. Ipod set up - no hair in site, hair on head gorgeous, lady garden as neat as can be with no visual(!) playscheme done for this week and a success, shopping completed, bags packed, activity afternoon with kids done, swimming lessons finished, adrenalin kicked in!

House not finished but MIL says she is coming to kick DH butt and get it all done, needs a damn good clean which to be fair she is excellent at, painting finishing, cupboards and blinds putting back up, cradle getting out of loft and food purchasing. This is one occasion where she can interfere all she likes!

Am off to bed now to try and sleep. Will try and let you know how I get on tomorrow - dpends of patientline plays ball with internet access!

Thanks for all the good luck messages.

Ps. words of wisdom from my DC -
DD to granny - not sure if I will be able to go to the park tomorrow granny I will be too busy helping Mummy
DS1 - If it's a boy I will love it (very long pause) and if it's a girl (even longer pause) I will love it too... followed by puzzled look - but it might be a baby and then I will love it too.
DS2 - Me to him - we're all going back to our house soon and the new baby will come home too isn't that great - DS2 - NO. Followed 10 mins later by can I stroke baby and I have present for baby hands me stone and worm from garden - NICE!

Night all.

well the only advice i can offer is a very good friend of mine ended up with an ec/s with her first.. was adamant that she wanted a vbac for her second (very stubborn).. she felt that she wanted to give birth properly.. anyway, she went overdue but into labour naturally, laboured for over 24 hours and still no baby so ended up with a c/s... she was understandably gutted but then realised that if she hadn't been so stubborn she would have had a much more relaxed experience both for her, her dh and dd2!!!

Not sure if that helps xxxx
