AJM what a pain DS was a footling breech too but not recognized until he stated getting into distress for other reasons so at last it has been spotted. Good luck with the EVC on a positive note the LO hasn't been stuck there for a long time and so hopefully he can be coaxed back into a head down position. How many weeks are you?

I'm 38 weeks on wednesday but was told today that the mw's guesstimate looking at my bump would be nearer 33 weeks and baby is only a 6lber. Having a small baby is supposedly a plus point...

Did they manage to turn you DS or did you end up with an E-CS?

just trying to catch up having been awol all week - hope inductions all go smoothly.

am finally on maternity leave so a week ahead of pregnancy massage, yoga and general getting ready for baby...will keep more in touch from now on so can write proper messages to everyone

Evening all!

Oh I'm jealous Girl, I've still got a week of work left yet!

Where does everyone go for pregnancy massage? I live in a small town so doubt there'll be anywhere nearby...

Honeymoonmummy Clarins spas in big dept stores and Virgin active gyms with spas do them.

Thanks for all the positive messages ladies. Although I'm really nervous, I feel much calmer than I was earlier.

Apparently my cervix is 1 cm long (as 1.5 on Monday) and soft, but still posterior but I'm not sure what all that means. I think it means that I'm not totally unfavourable, but not exactly favourable either. I've been walking bouncing and just ordered the hottest curry I could find in a last ditch attempt to start things off on their own.

Bloody Hell ajm - you've had one hell of a couple of weeks haven't you.

AJM they only picked up the breech at 40 weeks when I went in for a check because of reduced fetal movement and they also found I had no amniotic fluid (So no chance to try and turn him) so since the reduced movements indicated fetal distress plus the rest I went straight to a cs that afternoon.
Hence, my comment about at least they have picked it up for you . A small baby is good as there is more room for him/her to move when they try the ECV.
Aubergine enjoy the curry

hello ladies i have a baby !!!!!

brooke was born at 8.52 last night

she was 7lb 91/2oz and is just gorgeous cant believe she is here !!!

got home and we are lying up resting she is so good

had natural delivery just gas and air 3 hours in total and very painful buthe was worth it

will post birth story soon

aubergine if its any help check out this thread i started asking for advice about my notes after a sweep- it really helped me to understand (was lucky to get a MW to respond)

congratulations sambrands¬!!!!!

sambrads well done hunny, so pleased for you, a big congratulations, I will let fruitloop,cricri and the other girls know

Congrats sambrads fanatastic news on the arrival of your new DD

sambrads congratulations that is fantastic news and you are home already hurahhh.

Congratulations Sambrads lsmile]

I actually picked it up.. commented that either this little one has a very boney bum or she's the wrong way up, whilst chatting to my MW in the way to the reflexology room hence the checkup and scan

Congratulations sambrads .

AJM well done you picking it up...my mw used to go on about a boney bum pity she didn't follow it up and as a naive 1st time mum I didn't think anything of it!
CSWS any signs???

Congratulations Sambrads you finally have your DD to hold

Not a dicky bird hedgepig. Shall abandon hope and try and enjoy our last weekend as a family of 3. Hoping for good weather tomorrow so that we can go to the zoo .

thanks ladies just posted my birth story

still in shock cant believe she is here its so surreal

dont have time to read up on posts have i missed any births ???

Well done Sambrads. I shall go and find your birth story.
Still no news from Star! I think you were here for the others

Yes sambrads - you missed Rosebury's and annwoo's births.

CSWS. DO not ask me to help keep stats up to date while you are away having your baby. As I have just proved I am crap.

Wow have you read Sambrads birth story. Bloody excellent.

AJM. As a multip you should be allowed to try and deliver baby if you want to try. It is normally only first timers they discourage from breech delivery.
I am not sure I would try but then I dont want a C-section so who knows. I really hope your ECV works. It is also possible to turn babies whilst in labour so even if you go early this weekend it isnt the end of the world.

ronshar.

re breech ajm. Fingers crossed for ECV. Seems to be working well for everyone else at the moment.
