Been to see the consultant this morning. 2cm dilated but baby is still high at -3 :-(
This is VBAC after 2 emergency c sections so its repeat section at 40+12 as I'm allowed no induction. I have today made the request to break my waters at 40+11 and if it doesn't work I go for the section as planned the day after and they have agreed to this ON THE CONDITION this baby has dropped some more to avoid another cord prolapse. So current plan, a week today I go at 10am to labour ward to rupture membranes. She thinks they will admit me and go from there. I don't know what else I can do to get this baby to drop. I walked 4 miles yesterday I'm always on my ball etc x

Great plan!! I hope baby cooperates for you.

Are you bouncing or doing circles on the ball?
Hands and knees helps baby drop because it opens your pelvis more.
Swimming froggt style on your belly really helps too. It still being cold here i didnt really have that option so i would float on my belly and open my legs up so my pelvis could open up a little more.

I hope you can encourage baby to cooperate!!!
 
Sorry to hear that Kay. Unfortunately if baby doesn't drop or engage it will make a vbac impossible. I had and still have the same problem! Not sure why. When my water broke with my second dd a week before csection when I got to the hospital they were entertaining the idea of a vbac until they brought in the ultrasound machine to check her position and she was very high and not engaged at all. So they forbid me from walking around as her cord was free flowing and I have no more water left so off to csection I went. My first in a 26 hour induction I made it to 10cm but couldn't push Bc baby remained at -2 station and wouldn't descend! Maternal fetal specialists have told me that babies often don't engage bc of pelvic structure which makes it difficult to get through. So I'm thinking that's my case. Hope fully baby drops and u get your vbac! Aside from bouncing on a ball not sure there's much else u can do xx
 
Kay I also heard that if you lean on the back of a chair and "climb stairs" it's supposed to help the baby get down into the pelvis. I have been doing it off and on for a bit. I lean on the back of a chair while watching tv and climb some stairs. Good exercise while hoping it gets baby to cooperate. My boy was breech from day 1 until week 34. It helped (I think) get him to turn around to head down position.

I hope you can get the baby down into the correct position so you can get your VBAC.
 
Thanks so much for your replies and suggestions. I'm just worried my pelvis is the issue. I got to 10cm with my first and he was still high and 2nd was cord prolapse as waters ruptured spontaneously and he was also high. I'm worried I'm putting myself through all this to end up with the same outcome, I'd rather just book a section for sooner but trying not to. I've lost all hope. I'm awaiting a call back from an osteopath to see if he can check for misalignment in pelvis and hopefully sort but surely 1 treatment at this stage won't do anything. Feeling rubbish xx

I'm doing big circles and figures of 8 on ball. I'm sitting with soles of feet together and leaning forward. I'm walking. Doing things from spinning babies and doing knees on sofa elbows on floor to help any twists and also bring her back out and then back on ball for her to go back in in the correct position incase that's the issue. This must be why I go overdue all the time. No pressure on cervix x
 
Im being kept in hospital following my scan. They're going to try and bring the inducing forward to tomorrow but no guarantees so could still be Saturday. Fluid gone cloudy and movement still low. :/
 
Kay really hoping for u. Its not nice when things dint go how u had planned or hoped.

Beckah hope all is ok. Our bibs could share a birthday if u go tomorrow x

Have came to terms with my induction feeling nervous if course but ok so far although I'm.known to go into melt down mode at the last min!! Keeping myself busy to say us helping but if course I hsvevtp go to bed tonight which could stir up all sorts of fears and emotions! But fx I get some sleep!
 
Good luck ladies! I hope everything works out in your favor!

Finally getting around to uploading a pic of Jaxson!

Thanks. Still reduced movement and fluid gone cloudy. Could be a number of things. If still limited movement and monitoring a concern they're going to jump me up the induction queue.

Hopefully it will be tomorrow then we can think positive thoughts of going through it together. I'm sure it'll go ok. Just keep focusing on the end result. Xx
 
Awww bekha atlesst there doing something and ur baba will be safe with u soon xxx


Kay hope baby drops low for u too hun sounss like ull do anuything for a vbac xxxx good luck

Powell hes so cute bless him he does look wide awake xx
 
Powell, he is so cute!! And definitely very alert! I can't believe that picture was taken only an hour after his delivery!

Still nothing happening on this front. No contractions, although baby boy is VERY low. I'm still working, and yesterday at work, he pressed on my cervix so hard that I could barely walk because it hurt so bad. My induction is scheduled for Sunday night at 8:30 pm. I have to call the hospital at 6:30 to make sure they have room for me, so fingers crossed that Alex will be born either Monday or Tuesday! Actually, fingers crossed he comes naturally on his own beforehand, but I feel like that's never going to happen. Oh well, one way or another I'll have my son in my arms by this time next week :)

Lol yeah, the girls at work and I joke around about him hanging on for dear life in there! I mean, I'm only 5 days overdue and I think the average for FTMs is 6 days, so it could still happen. I must say, I'm much happier now that I have an end date. BF normally works weekends, but took Sunday off now so we can clean our apartment and drop the dog and cat off at my parents' house, as they'll be watching them while we're at the hospital. I'm anxious and excited all at the same time!
 
Bekah I am glad they are taking care of you. I hope your baby can come out soon.

Powell he is absolutely adorable. I love how awake he is. Curious already.

HelloJello I am sorry you are still waiting. I hope Alex comes before your induction like you are wanting. These boys and wanting to stay in.

I just left my doctor and he said I am not dilated at all. Nothing. He also commented that baby hasn't even dropped yet. I kinda knew that, because I never had the heaviness in my pelvis and I still have heartburn and trouble breathing sometimes. I was hoping to be dilated a little. Oh well. Here's to next Thursday's appt when I will be 40+1. :dohh: :winkwink:
 
After all my complaining and doubt I am having some contractions! They are 5-6min apart lasting 40-50 secs and I'm having to concentrate through them. It doesn't help whilst they are going on I can feel baby wiggling and pushing down is this normal? Also is it definitely contractions? Belly going hard and pain is radiating round midriff and into bumcheeks a little. You would think I knew by now! Trying not to get my hopes up though xx
