👶🏼 @nearlyamummyof2boys - Wyatt born 23rd September

@NatalieH2220 hmmm definitely ask her what happens if she’s not sure then!!

So I had my presentation scan this morning, baby is head down as I'd thought & his feet are tucked right under my ribs. Now I know he's 100% down I will be bouncing on my ball like crazy

@NatalieH2220 If your midwife wasn't sure of the baby's position, she should have referred you for a presentation scan. If she still isn't sure thursday, ask to have one.

@NatalieH2220 make sure she sends you for a presentation scan, she should of done than last time if she wasn't sure of baby's position. That's actually really bad that she hasn't.

Thanks Ladies. I'm one of these people that don't like to push at the time but then complain or end up confused after 😂. I'll make sure everything is clear before I leave Thursday.

@NatalieH2220 I'm exactly the same, I can give the advise but I don't practise it myself 😂
I've got a presentation scan next week as my baby has been transverse from 16weeks but now appears to be bum down 🤦🏼‍♀️

Has anyone else done a private GBS test and tested positive? Just been told I have it:( im 37weeks +4. Does anyone know if I can still have IV antibiotics on a MLU?
I’m waiting to hear back from my midwife.
It’s just unsettled me a bit.

I sent off mine yesterday at 36w2d.. I did it with the doctors laboratory, how long did the results take? @Whatinthename20 I should think you should still be on a MLU just no water birth x

I had my flu jab last week at 37 weeks. It was a bit of a nonsense tbh as I got a text from GP and booked it in weeks ago. I then was called to say it was cancelled and my midwife would do it at my next appointment. When I went to it the midwife said it wasn't them and I was to ask for it at my next consultant appointment as the clinic was at the hospital. So at my 37 weeks appointment I asked and turns out I was supposed to have booked it. 🙈🙄

They did give it to me but it takes 2 weeks for antibodies to develop and pass on and my section is less than 2 weeks away....

Not the best from the nhs really.

@Babyhope98 I did if through webmed pharmacy. I did the swab Thursday and posted it that morning. Results just came back today. It might have come back quicker if it wasn’t over the weekend I guess

@Sheera1 I’ve had a similar run around... ridiculous really!

Atleast you know about it! I hoped mine wouldn’t come back positive, but at least I’ll know and can prevent the complications that can arise from it x @Whatinthename20

Afternoon all just had growth scan baby still breech but everything else is looking great in regards to size etc currently weighs 5lb 8 which is good as a month ago was told 3lb10 so I'm happy just a little concerned he ain't gonna turn little sod and I'll end up with csection which I dont want 😔

Well the doctor I see not my consultant is talking about me maybe having them try and turn baby at my next appointment if he hasn't moved gave me info but not sure I wanna do that other than that it cud either be try a natural birth breech which could end up in emergency csection anyway or a planned csection I didn't really feel she knew to much about it all tbh so gonna see when I go in couple of weeks what they say then

@Kj1010 at least they are sorting you now. I'm nearly 37 weeks and have a transverse baby and all they keep saying is there is time for her to turn (she's been in this position since 16weeks) they think she may be bum down but got a scan on the 11th to check. I think I'm going to refuse the turning too and just opt for a ELCS if she hasn't moved

A few friends have been breech at 38 weeks and baby turned in time. One had acupuncture, not sure if it helps or if it's coincidence but meant no c-section.

@Sheera1 glad to hear you finally got a flu jab. I need an egg free one as I'm allergic and the nurse said they can't get hold of them for love nor money. She's got 3 people at the surgery who need them and has been trying everything.. they gave my partner a jab though, even though he's not in an at risk category, to give me some extra protection.. doesn't look like I'll get one anytime soon 😕

That's rubbish @jalu47. Don5know why there are such issues this year when the normal people who are supposed to get them should first and then do more people.

I guess the silver lining is that normally we would be on public transport etc and we are more likely not to catch flu if not really out and about. Hope they sort it soon for you. Xx

Good evening ladies. Just a quick update following up yesterday's midwife appointment.

I had a growth scan and baby position scan today as my midwife thought the baby is still breech and measuring on a small size so referred me to have this done asap.

Today's scan confirmed that baby is head down, already in pelvis and baby is a perfect size. This means that everything is fine and I will have a natural vaginal birth. Freaking out already as I thought having a c-section would be easier option as natural birth scares me.

Btw, I'm 36+5 today and also had my flu jab xx

@Sheera1 I think that probably only 50-60% of the 'at risk' group usually bother with the flu jab but everyone on the eligible list is wanting it this year.. that's probably why! I'm not too worried, as you say it's not like I'm coming into contact with many people. And fingers crossed for everyone that flu season will be much reduced this year, - that's what has happened in the Southern Hemisphere..

@MsBee13 that's amazing 😍 hopefully mine will be the same next week at 37+4 xxx

Just ordered a tens machine!

@LRHRN I hope your baby turns head down too and you can have natural birth xx 🤞🏼

I’ve been thinking to order one too, any recommendations? I don’t know anyone that has used one x @peachypetite

@Babyhope98 the TENS machine is by Obi-TENS, I got it on Amazon. It worked well in early stage labour with DS.

I got the maternity one from boots for £40
