Hi, I think i had a show yesterday (not sure as didnt have one with ds1), been a bit sick today and have had an upset stomach.

Totally different to last time so is this just wishful thinking?

well sometimes the runs are natures way of clearing out the body ready for action.

Why are you having a section?

Definitely get a bag ready! I was totally different 2nd time round and ended up getting to hospital with about 10 minutes to spare!! Just in case you understand, hope all goes well

I was sick and had diarrhoea with my first DD (TMI?) gave birth about 4 hours after, so I'd get packing! Totally different with DD2 so don't go by your previous experience.

Good luck.

Thanks!!

Having a section due to a complicated first labour. (30 hrs established labour, 2 hrs pushing, emergency section) ds turned last min. Thats the short version!

It turns out my pelvis isnt an ideal shape and baby would prob also turn.

I don't know your full situation (obviously), but DD1 slipped out like a dream and DD2 turned at the last minute and got a bit stuck. These things can just happen, not necessarily a problem with the shape of your pelvis.

Any news?

snala · 03/08/2009 20:20

No! , Still got upset stomach, the odd twinge. Thats it.
