Welcome to the thread, before the thread, before the final thread where I give birth.

And in case you're needing it here is the Post-natal thread

Do you offer temporary membership to your AN group? Arcadie only lives round the corner but as with most things the internet is much the most up to date and reliable source of information!

Relax your shoulders and your face muscles and breath loooooooooong slooooooooooow breaths.

Anyone for a sweepstake on gender, weight and time...? I feel a list would make Arcadie proud

OP means occiput posterior which is back to back according to google. MOVE BABY MOVE!!

And I suspect you don't mean 8.5inches MrAypeedee, the baby would have fallen out by now!

Is this our first (and last) minute by minute labour thread?? Sooo exciting. Keeping everything crossed for you, Arcadie!

I reckon there should be a post within 30 mins of cord being cut.

OP: baby is back to back so if it doesn't turn will come out facing the stars (which I think is a nicer way of putting it than face to pubes)???

PacificDogwood · 01/04/2010 20:12

oooh, i missed mr arcadie's post

to encourage baby to turn

fwiw, boy 7lbs 10 in about 1 hour
