Went for monitoring today after having brown discharge.
She said probably my show/plug and baby's hb was fine....
Regular contractions were showing on monitor but she shrugged them off and now I have them with awful back pain!
Going to try sleep, I'll cry if I have this for weeks :(
 
Hi ladies i had my 36 week check today and my naughty little princess is either transverse or breech so tomorrow i have the consultant and a possible scan .
I felt she was transverse due to my tummy shape and the way she moves xx
 
teacup, I'm sorry you've been feeling poorly!! Hopefully it's just things ripening up and you'll have a few days of reprieve between episodes.

Foxy, sorry to hear little one has possibly gone transverse or breech. Hope she turns soon!
 
Aww teacup hope you feel better and baby makes an early appearance!

Sorry to hear baby has turned foxy, still time for them to turn back thought. Got fingers crossed for you.

So i'm full term today! So excited. Can't wait to meet my rainbow now, I've waited sooo long and now baby could be here any day!!!
 
:happydance: happy 37 weeks JD!
Feeling awful today, some back ache but no real contractions, feel so sick and shakey :(

I could be wrong, but that might have to do with engagement. I think it means the baby's head is starting to engage in the pelvis, but it is still kinda high. I think 0/5 is full engagement...so yes this sounds like good news...baby is getting ready to lock-and-load for arrival! :D Yay for head-first! <3

Yeah, cephalic means head down and mine was 3/5ths last time and midwife said that means, there is 2/5ths in my pelvis as she could feel 3/5ths of the head still.

0/5th's is fully engaged! We're going in the right direction! :happydance:
 
Nope, 5/5 is fully engaged. ;) So, their transverse/breech worry may have actually been that she's down so far that they couldn't palpate her head well. After the first baby, they can bob in and out of the pelvis (some babies don't engage until labour), but as long as she stays head down, that's brilliant! xx

My midwife said they go by 0/5th's is fully engaged, as they cannot feel anymore of the head. But she did say that some do it the opposite way round. However, from googling, it seems that more do measure it the way mine do. You'd have to ask yours Foxy.

Yours must be different to mine Manda :thumbup:
 
I must have a backwards one then. ;) My baby was 1/5 engaged nearly two weeks ago, and they said he was just in. Bump has dropped loads now, and between that and the winching apart of the pelvis feeling, I know he's further in. I thought it was the "station" thing that was backwards. Sorry to be of no help in the end, Foxy.
 
ha ha its ok ladies thank you any way , i should know really as its my 4th but it was such a long time ago.
Had a super day with my gorgeous neices and nephews and grandchildren for my daughters 21st xxx
 
so excited for all of you and getting so antsy to hold my baby boy!!! 34+5 for me today
 
Those first few show "stations", which is what I mentioned. It's in positive and negative and is a different measurement to the 1-5/5 engaged.
 
Sry I've been bad at responding to posts but I've been keeping up with the thread!

I'm so excited for how far along we all are! So happy we've made it this far and pray for healthy bubbas until they are in our arms (and of course still healthy then! but at least we can keep our eyes on them...too bad there is no window into the uterus although that might be kinda freaky! ha!)

So many little ones on their way! Can't wait for this thread to pick up even more ;)

Things are good for me. I'm just shy of 34 weeks so still expecting a while to wait. Trying to take in these last moments with no kids...it's really impossible to understand how much things are about to change for the rest of my life! I'm super excited, though. I am having the typical aches and pains, but I know we all are. My only complaint is not getting sleep. It's not even because of peeing (although that definitely keeps me up) but I pretty much can fall asleep easily for bed initially, then wake up a few hours later (literally 2-3) and then am up the rest of the night. So that's taking a toll, but as many have advised me, it's just my body preparing me to be up constantly with a LO, I suppose! ;) :haha:
