Thanks
I have the consultant in 2 weeks if he hasnt turned by then they will talk about intervening, which they would wanna do in 3-4weeks so i guess just need see what happens.

 

[Mrsctobe]

Ahhh I can't believe there is so little time left! I'm trying plan things and every turn I have to remember oh I probably shouldn't plan to be so far away from home at 38 weeks lol or things like that. I was surprised to get the news that she is only in the 27th percentile and is about 3 pounds 10 oz now and the midwife made an educated guess saying she thinks she will only be 6 1/2 pounds when she's born. That seems so tiny as I've been bracing myself for an 8 or above pound baby! It's good to know that I'm just measuring big (fundal height) because I have a short torso. I'm measuring 4 weeks ahead on the outside! Can't wait to get everything ready and meet my baby! Also, this week she's figured out a 'game' where she kicks and I give a little push back and she kicks....it feels like communication, and I love it!!! Glad to hear everyone else seems to be doing great, who knew these last weeks would get here so quickly!

wow thats bizarre you would expect baby to weigh more if your measuring 4 weeks ahead. are you having any more scans?

Congrats on passing your GTT Iamblessed. Now you can concentrate on enjoying the last few weeks.

Mrsctobe - Try not to worry about baby's position or size. It is what it is. The doctors will decide on the best steps for you. Try to enjoy the last few weeks. Baby easily could surprise you!

Its always easy for other peeps to say that thought when they are not in that position. im not worried about him being big as long as he gets out. but you cant not not worry about having a major op that scares the shit out you esp when your mother nearly died having a c section with you.

Mrsctobe. I don't wish to be rude here, but there are plenty of ladies having far worse pregnancies than you are and are definitely looking at a c section in order to give their babies the best chance. You have a healthy, growing boy in there and only approximately 3% of babies are breech when their Mother's go in to labour. The odds are really good for you and if your lo doesn't turn then a planned c section in 2012 would be far the safest way for you to deliver (and they will try to turn baby first so a c section isn't inevitable).

Yes any procedure is scary, but the situation will be managed to give you and your baby the healthiest outcome. Medicine has moved on so much since you were born, so I'm sure the doctors will do their best to limit the risks. There's no guarantee that some of us here won't have a c section for one reason or another and we're all concerned that this might happen. Personally I have a family history of premature labours, pre-eclampsia and heart conditions, so I am well aware that despite all my best laid plans, I may end up with a c section anyway. It's not healthy for me to dwell on that possibility and I don't think it's any good for you to do so either. As the lady running my NCT class said, those women who think they will have a painful and terrible labour often end up with exactly that. Those who think they will cope and have a good experience, tend to do so as they have the confidence and the inner strength to get through it. A little PMA never hurt anyone.

 

[kuriazuri]

I don't think so, they measured EVERYTHING on her, and she's just little. I am petite with a short torso so she has no where to go but out lol, so I'm not too surprised the belly is so big. I love it though. I finally think I'm at the point where perhaps I might, just a tiny bit, miss being pregnant! Awww

 

[Iamblessed]

updating everyone: I am dialated one already and may be in premature labor!!! yikes so I am hoping everything stops. please keep us in your thoughts in prayers! TIA!!!

 

[NotNic]

Iamblessed you're definitely having a girl. What a pickle she is! Hoping everything stops soon, but if it doesn't your lo is a good point week's wise, so I'm sure she will be fine - just a little tiny and super keen to meet her mummy. Keep strong, rested and keep us posted. xxx

 

[Sunshine12]

IAB, keep us posted hun. We will all be thinking of you. xxx

 

[admiral765]

All the best IAB!

I am having a growth scan today! Looking forward to seeing my baby boy! Things are going well though now, my BP has come down my midwife looked back on my records and my BP shot up when all my family drama kicked off which you probably all know about! Lol! It has come right back down since I chose to walk away. It's the best decision for me and my family right now and maybe I will address the situation when our boy is here.
Hope everyone else is ok xx

Hi all!
Mrsmctobe: I had to have a c-section for Eamon as he was footling breech and never turned, and it wasn't as bad as I imagined They have come really really far with caesars over the years. My recovery period wasn't long at all. I was walking on the day after the section, showering myself, and was able to do light housework two weeks after, and felt normal again by 4 weeks PP. (I did bleed for six weeks but I know that varies from woman to woman.)
This time I will be having an elective section, not by choice as my hospital doesn't allow VBACs And I am scared as of course it is major surgery but I also know that the risks aren't as high as they were even say 10 years ago with c-sections.

 

[NotNic]

How many weeks will you be on Liam's birthday pinklightbulb?

and i dont mean to be rude but im fed up of people that are not in the same situ preching and telling me what to worry about and what not. you are NOT in the same situ so save your lecutre. i am thrilled to have a healthy baby and will have c section if i have to to unsure hes here safe does not make me exited about having major surgery that scares me. so maybe just give advice on things you know about and stop telling people that are not in the same situ as you what to do!

if my baby is healthy and gets here by c section so be it but as you are not in the position to possibly need surgery then you cant tell me what to do. your forgettting oive had 2 kids before that never turned so dont patronise me. you dont mean me moaning about you going on about your mum having premmie babies at every oppertunity and telling you what to worry about and what not so maybe just stick to giving advice to peeps that are having the same pregnancies as you.

and you have no idea about my pregnancy so leave it at that cos your comments are pissing m,e off

yeah but its a bid deal to me the thought terrifies me and i honestly think i would feel i failed cos i couldnt give birth to my son myself.
peeps say its not bad but its not called major surgery for nothing and what bothers some doesnt bother others.

but as long as my son is healthy and gets out safe i'll just have deal with it however that may be i dont know. how do you get over your fears of that and how you feel you will have failed thats what worries me.

 

[NotNic]

Mrsctobe I'm sorry that you seem to be interpreting things in exactly the same manner as before. I and several other of the girls here have spent months reassuring you on various issues that turned out to be nothing. We are doing our best to calm your fears and to keep the thread positive and upbeat. Feel free to complain and let off steam on the forum, but please appreciate that you are not the only one who needs support. IAB is receiving treatment right this moment because her baby might be early. She needs our prayers and pma.

We are not telling you to not worry. We are all pregnant and as a rule pregnant women do worry! I was trying to lift the mood and to also remind you that your posts might be interpreted as selfish and self-indulgent. There are women who have no choice but to face a csection and reading about someone's history could be extremely frightening. They might also take offense of someone who has a relatively healthy baby and weeks for their baby to turn, who complains about the possibility (not inevitability) of a c section. As you said, you go overdue so you have close to 10 weeks for there to be a change. Plus you have had heavier babies before, so you might not have an issue delivering larger babies. It is also very presumptious of you to assume that there aren't other women reading right now who are in exactly the same boat as you. It is an open forum.

I am very happy not to offer advice in future if you don't want it, but I do wonder why you post on threads looking for support if you aren't willing to hear it. If you want specific support from people in exactly the same boat as you then perhaps you should write your own thread and discuss your concerns there.

Other thread followers - Apologies for doing exactly what I didn't want to do - and pulling the mood of the thread down. I would love to hear what you guys have planned this week. Has everyone done their nurseries yet or am I the only slow coach?

 

[Mrsctobe]

I am talking about you you are not in the same boat i didnt ask for advice.
and btw i am due just over 7weeks not 10 and if my baby does not turn in 3 weeks they will want to intervene so i have 3 weeks not 10 (they dont let anyone go over to 43weeks now) THREE weeks to hope he turns. and none of my other babies were measuring 6weeks ahead. i am over the moon to hopefully have a healthy baby so pissed off abouit that idiot comment how dare you you know what im gona back off cos you pissed me right off and have no clue what you are talking about.

hope goes well i am blessed i was 1cm dilated too at 32weeks but i went full term hope all goes well

I find both these comments extremely offensive. Having re-read your post again and trying to stay calm and balanced, I'm afraid I can't. Sorry Mrsctobe, I don't think I can comment on your threads or answer your queries any more. I have spent months replying and reassuring you so I think I probably have heard more about your pregnancy than I do of the pregnancies of my best friends. I'm sorry that you don't have the patience or interest levels to support others with their concerns either. I'm not aware that when I have commented about mine or my mum's medical history (which is genuine concern of mine) that you have gone anyway in offering me support. Your comments are not very nice and life is too short trying to help people that won't help themself, and are rude to other people.

 

[Mrsctobe]

Yes see you dont like it do you?
i am terrified and you are making out im a bad mum or dont appriciate or happy my son gets here safely which made my blood boil!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i was not looking for your advise or put downs i was just expressing i was scared which is ok for everyone else to say dont worry when they dont have to fear major surgery however i will have get over my fear somehow i just want my baby tpo be safe and heathy and for you to make out i dont i really wanna slap you for that if im honest.

please do not reply to any of my posts again cos you just anger me so much what you said and you dont like it back. i have been supportive to many here and i am more grafull than most to have a healthy baby and being scared does not make you less caring how dare you! do not talk to me you must made me so mad and maybe if some idiot spouted such crap about you not being happy your baby is heathly and here cos your scared ypu would understand!

i am blessed i wish you all the best let me know how you get on.
sending lots of hugs

 

[admiral765]

Mrsctobe I usually don't get involved but like I posted in the thread you have started, I really feel you have taken it the wrong way.
Accusing NotNic of implying your a bad mum and not caring about your baby, and to the rest of the ladies on this forum is really out of order when all she was doing was trying to reassure you. Xx

 

[Mrsctobe]

No she wasnt and if she was it was not coming accross that way making out i dont care bout my childs health cos im scared i am so so mad. how dare she i dont know why other peeps are getting ionvolved when its nothing to do with them. and my other thread i was looking for support so please dont reply as noone here has any to offer.

 

[admiral765]

I think you need to be sure how you have interpreted her comments are correct before you make accusations towards her. Please highlight notnics comments saying that your a bad mum and don't care for your baby because I don't see it Hun xx
