IDBI.... well done to you and freya, hope you're home soon and looking forward to seeing some pics
Mrsy, i'm the daft eejit spotty referred to who didn't even know ds was back to front, and he was big enough at 8lbs10oz with a head cirm of 37cm.
actually to be fair, i had known he was back to front but had spent weeks on my knees to turn him and as no one mentioned anything to me in the hospital i presumed i'd been wrong and he was right way around, it wasn't until dp told me what way he'd been facing that i realised!
it does make the first stages a bit slower but tbh from 5 cm to holding him in my arms took me less than 2 hours and he only took 3/4 pushes to get out. don't let the OP position be the deciding factor for a c section as it's very doable as long as you don't rush yourself and rest yourself as much as possible between contraction. most babies who are OP will trun during labour if the mother is left to it so although it'll make the first stage longer it probably wouldn't affect anything else.
as for the weight, she might decide to make and early appearance and not be much heavier than average so i'd play it by ear and remember that the scans are more guesswork than science
dd didn't want to go to playschool today and i didn't have the heart ot force her so soon to the upheaval of a new baby so we've just spent the morning painting.... they've done about 20 pictures between them, i had to pretend i's run out of paper in the end as i was running out of space to put them!
bloody heartburn is driving me bonkers, it's constant now and nothing seems to ease it.
