Due tomorrow - getting nervous now.

[aamia]

Have all the 'what ifs' going round and round in my head, as I'm sure every mum does leading up to labour. Have obstetrician appt in mornng to look at baby growth (not great), and obviously they will decide something tomo even if just how long they're happy to leave baby to go overdue before inducing. He's sideways on, anterior placenta, def not engaged (far too active), and hasn't grown much since 32 weeks. I keep reading horrific stories about what can go wrong, which I know I shouldn't, as what will be will be. DH at work tomo and can't come to appt.

So - I'm sure I'm not going to get much sleep tonight! Any tips on thinking positive/putting it out of my mind? Luckily appt is at 9am so I won't be waiting all day!

Well mine were still really active even after they engaged, but if yours is transverse, and not really growing, I would be packing your bag! They won't want your waters to go anywhere but in the labour ward with a transverse lie, so I imagine they will have you in to crack on ASAP.
Its incredibly daunting right now, try and get as much rest as you can tonight, doubt you will sleep, but do try to eat and at least veg out in front of telly if you can't sleep. If you think your waters have gone and you know you have a transverse lie, get on your knees with your bum higher than your head and call an ambulance. I don't say that lightly either!
