Please give me advice. Is this normal for 29 weeks?TMI itchy cervix, breech baby, BH so bad having two hour baths.

[mumblesmummy]

So basically the baby was breech and so the midwife told me to get on all fours a lot, and to go swimming etc etc. I did get on all fours a lot and the baby moved and I was getting kicked in the ribs. Then it went back to sort of transverse. Today I've had terrible trots, sickness, tired, achey, and such bad BHs that i was in the bath for two hours trying to ease it. Really bad tummy cramps all over my bump, top to bottom, and terrible back cramps and ache. Feel like I can't do anything coz feel so terrible.

So because of the long bath, the baby has now turned breech again. But his kicks are REALLY hard, he's a big baby already (midwife said 4lbs which everyone on MN said is big for 27 and a half weeks which is what I was when she said 4lbs). So he's kicking me in the cervix which is REALLY itching. It's driving me crazy. i don't know if I've got a little thrush or what but it feels terrible. He also kicks my bladder so har that sometimes bits of wee come out only the odd drip mind.

I would expect to feel these things MUCH closer to the end, not at 29 weeks... am I normal?? How can I turn him? I don't want a C section, and the midwife said if he hasn't turned by 34 weeks they'll try and turn him and if he wont then it's C section . I just thought he's turn, but now I'm starting to get really frustrated that he's turned back to breech again.

The sickness and cramps are getting me down. I can't even eat. I feel terrible.

I seem to have had a massive batch of hormones as I can't stop crying at any little thing, and I feel like I'm on fire or freezing all the time.

Can anyone help? Any advice very much appreciated. ANY at all.

They just said to do the all fours thing and to go to the swimming baths (I'm trying aqua natal on Thursday for the first time). He's been breech all the way, but the past week he's swapped around about 5 times so I know he can turn himself.

I think I'll try and get them to hang on until atleast 36 weeks then. I don't want him being delivered at 34 weeks so they'll have to hang on.

Franny- there's nothing else going on, and no reason why they'd do it early. Though I've got to say, she's been wrong about a fair few things so far so I suspect she may have got this wrong too. She even told me the wrong week for my anti D, and she did it in my fatty bum cheek instead of my arm... so I hope I'll be given different advice at the hospital.

Thanks all. Definately feeling much better now and the ridiculous hormones have passed

Please get yourself checked out for a UTI. I had a really really bad one late in pregnancy and ds2 was born early after a haemorrage (sp?) casued by irritation to my womb lining. I really don't mean to scare you but please get yourself checked out.

I've been checked for UTI for times in past 3 weeks and I'm SURE it's that but they all come back as normal so midwife said it can't be. I get water infections and they feel like this so I can't understand why this time it's supposedly not?

sorry 'four' not 'for'

if you suspect a UTI but are getting negative results (happens to me all the time), try cranberry tablets and up your water intake...seems to work for me.

Thanks MrsMacaroon, I'll give it a try.x
