Have they said anything about bubs being breech to you or is that what the consultant appointment is for?
I didn't hear back from maternity unit at the hospital... Bit disappointed as now I probably won't get booked in for a consultant appointment til next week and I'll be 38 weeks by then, hmph.

Not a lot to be honest, I was booked in to see the consultant anyway but now that will be the main topic on the agenda. I do have a scan for in about 2 weeks that was supposed to be for growth but will be used to see where he is as well now. They waited until 38 weeks to book us into the breech clinic for my youngest Daughter but I didn't get to do too much there as, thankfully, she turned the night before.

So sorry that your MWs are still being a bit poo, I'd be quite upset by this point... I hope you are doing alright. Fingers crossed that our LOs are cooperative and shift themselves the right way ASAP.

amethyst which hospital are you having your baby in?

MissFox, I actually quite like the idea of a cozy little cottage near the river to start your new life as a family in. I'm sure in real life it's not quite that romantic, but it does have a certain apeal.

Great birthday bump Brandi, looking great!!!

Is everyone pretty much seeing a MW or dr weekly at this point (well those who have reached 36 weeks at least)? That seems to be the norm here in the US but wasn't sure about elsewhere.

Congrats to all the new watermelons, can't believe we have sweet peas at the last fruit! I remember the days of poppy and apple seeds!!!!

Great news on the GTT jen!! Enjoy that chocolate!

Yeah I've been trying things from that website... Positions, warming the bottom of bump, music etc. He's not turned back yet. Head is under my ribs right over on the right hand side at the mo. Fingers crossed something works to turn him. If not at least I can say I tried!

My LO is in exactly the same position, have been trying loads of different things to turn her too! Think the handstands in the swimming pool have been the weirdest thing I've tried so far . Keeping my fingers crossed that she'll turn when she's good and ready.

bernia, I'm only being seen every 2 wks still, think thats the norm in uk unless there are reasons to be seen more regularly , if I make it to due date i'll get another appt at 41wks for a sweep, then induction booked for a few days later if sweep doesn't work! but lets hope it doesn't come to that xx

I'm getting so anxious!! I washed, folded and put away all this newborn clothes yesterday with DH, and I feel like it's time for her to be here now!!

I have so much longer to wait it feels like!!

 

[bernina]

Hope all of the breech babies decide to turn head down soon. Giving Mommy trouble already aren't they!!

Caro, it's interesting to see how things are done in other countries. Sounds like even though I'm going weekly, dr will only be checking cervix every other week unless having strong contractions. No more ultrasounds either unless they think baby is breech or is growing too much/too little. Seems like 20 week ultrasound was so long ago!!

Berina I think I am spoiled with all my scan...my little man has such a chunky face. Its so neat that maybe in 2 weeks I will get to hold him. I am so excited.

 

[camishantel]

Berina... I am going twice a week and I get a scan at every appointment... my next appointment is tomorrow then again on Friday...

 

[reedsgirl1138]

I also go twice a week with a scan every monday...just a NST on thursdays. But I am on high risk protocol

Hi <waves>

We are booked into Liverpool Womens, are you at AP?

Normal to be weekly from 36 weeks onwards here too but I've been on weekly since about 22ish weeks now

 

[CrazyBird]

Bernina I saw my mw at 36 weeks and now she doesn't want to see me till I'm 39 weeks unless baby is here by then. I found that a bit wierd as I thought it would go to weekly appointments. I'm so jealous of the ladies who have so many scans. I had one at 12 and one at 20 weeks and that's it

happy birthday brandi, hope you had a great day!

 

[chocojen]

I had a scan at 12 and 20 weeks then another at 32 weeks because they were concerned about growth x

 

[camishantel]

mt tummy is upset....

I see the doctors every week starting tomorrow...I dont know if it is b/c i have to have another c-section and will be delivering by 39 weeks or not

Ohh and i havent had an ultrasound at my doctor's office since i was just over 18 weeks! Luckily i had a private one at 28 weeks or i would be begging for one now lol

 

[reedsgirl1138]

I am very spoiled with scans. LOL I have had one pretty much every week since 25 weeks. In a way I am losing the element of surprise of what he looks like but yet I love the fact that I see him so much.

 

[camishantel]

I love all my scans as well but since none of them have been super clear I will still be very surprised by what he looks like... I have one pretty clear picture but his face was pretty smushed since he was already in my pelvis..

 

[reedsgirl1138]

I am super lucky my Dr office has a new machine and it is awesome...I am always so amazed at how clear it is.

I'm seeing my midwife weekly from now on. I missed my appointment last week because of my daughter's new seizure diagnosis, so I was rescheduled for this Thursday. I was supposed to be every two weeks for the next few, but with the new schedule, I'm weekly. My next one after that is on the 23rd, then the 31st, the 6th, and then I'll have the home visit appointment.
