I hink I just felt Toby go back to breech
What am I doing wrong???
I don't want to call the hospital in the morning in case I'm being paranoid but my next appointment isn't until 1st April (2 days before due date)
I don't know what to do.

 

[JakesMummy]

Cottleston fingers crossed he hasn't, mischievous little man! But tomorrow, get on your hands and knees and scrub floors - seriously, if you can. This was the only thing that flipped my LO from breech.
But on a more serious note, I am unsure what you can do apart from wait until your next appointment and see what they reckon. You're not doing anything wrong hun - Toby just prefers being in that direction!

 

[loopy82]

Personally I'd give them a call in the morning Cottleston because I know all I'd do is fret until April 1st. The whole reason I'm still up at the moment is because I'm worrying about the scan tomorrow and can't sleep! The worst they can do is tell you to wait until your appointment, fingers crossed that you are being paranoid though (In the nicest possible way!)

You aren't doing anything wrong, Hun, promise.

You might be mistaken but even if you aren't, there are still things that can be done. Call ASAP tomorrow and see if they can book you back in. In the meantime just try to remain positive and try all the old ways like JakesMummy said.

Fingers crossed that he is just being very active and nothing more, lovey

abby's been quiet all day and starting to worry me. me thinks i'll put an ice pack on her to see if i can get her movin.

when i was 16 my bff at the time was pregnant and we would play with her daughter with a laser pointer. was fun watching feet and arms come out trying to "catch" it. is it wrong that i wanna try it now?

 

[bernina]

Cottleston, fingers crossed that LO hasn't turned and is just doing some gymnastics in there to stretch out.

Dana, my LO has been very quiet today as well. I've felt her move, but it's not much at all. Just had some cookies and she did a roll and is pushing on my hip but it's quieter than usual for this time of night. I know it's to be expected as they run out of room but it's still scary. I had no idea they would respond to a laser pointer! I tried putting a flashlight on my stomach the other morning when she was being lazy but she didn't do anything at all.

 

[reedsgirl1138]

Cottles I would call tomorrow too just let them know what your feeling. FX he stayed head down though

Gunner has been really quite today...I have had lots of back pain with pressure and was haivng some serious contractions but after I ate and drank some cold water it all stopped except the back ache...not sure whats up.

 

[happy_hayley]

My LO was super active last nite my belly was doing the mexican wave lol, OH was well amused it was as if she was trying to stretch her way out lol. most active she has been i didnt think it was possible at this stage with so little room but o well it was really amusing and it felt strange at the same time OH just klept staring at my belly lol

My hips are absolutely killing me and my pelvic bone feels as tho someone has hit it really hard and it is now bruised. oh the joys of being pregnant lol.

hope everyone is ok.
sun is shining here.

right ladies I have some time to update you!

MW appt yesterday was a bit shit BP up, protein in wee, baby still measuring big have a consultant appt next monday to discuss size and having a home birth. Felt really flat

then at midnight last night I had a big nose bleed I never get them and it really upset me. Feel like I've had such a lovely pregnancy that now I'm near the end everything is going a bit wrong

I have to go in to work today to finish the finance claim off. I am technically off now and I wish I had never fucking agreed to it still once this is done I can never think of the place again *looks for silver lining*

oh and I got blood on my duvet cover and pillow and it even went through to the duvet itself so now I have to see if we got it in the machine fast enough to get it out again - FED UP

 

[gertrude]

in good news it's another GLORIOUS day here today

 

[happy_hayley]

aww sorry to hear u having a rough time hope it all sorts itself out soon gertrude

 

[chocojen]

Morning ladies,

More glorious sunshine today so I think I will tend my godchildren to the local country park to feed the ducks later. Also got aquanatal today

Gertrude sorry your appt did not go so well yesterday, is your tummt just measuring big or have they actually scanned you to check? My tummy is measuring 2 weeks ahead and has all the time but I had an extra scan and baby is measuring spot on for the 19th. FXd they let you have your homebirth.

Sam sounds like you had a rough day yesterday either, hope Ryan gets well quickly.

Dana hope your LO started wriggling around to reassure you

Loopy hope today goes ok

Gem any news darling?

Sorry if I missed anyone xxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

[gertrude]

no not had a scan - at 28w I was measuring 33, at 31 I was measuring 34, at 34 I was measuring 36 and now at 36 I'm measuring 37, so the gap is decreasing but still big. And I'm predicted to have a 8-9lb baby anyway

have a consultant appt next monday to discuss it as the MW said only they can request a late scan (which sounds bollocks to me but hey ho)

so have to wait until Monday

 

[chocojen]

That is nonsense, I am 35 and am measuring 37, have been 2cm ahead since 29 weeks. My MW organised a scan for me and as soon as they saw he was actually ok they stopped worrying. You make sure you put your foot down my lovely...you want to make sure you can still have that home birth. Hope it goes well on monday xxxxxxxx

 

[wishingonastar]

gertrude - the gap isn't big now...it's only a weeks difference and thats totally normal isabel was 8lb 5oz when she popped so don't worry about an above average baby

 

[2ndtimeAbz]

gertrude - have you been on the homebirth.org site? there's a good bit about bigger babies and how what counts is the head circumference not the weight. If its any consolation, my mum is 5'5" and I was born at 41weeks 9lb 10oz no problems!! And there's also some good bits about BP on there too, lots of info if they start trying to push you into hospital! x

 

[lilgemsy]

YESSS IM HOME!
Only because I kept moaning lol. They were keeping me in all to wait for a phone call from the other hospital to say when I can go there... Its the 2nd day of waiting now. So I told them to contact me at home instead because it was making me feel absolutely shit being in hospital. When I got home I just couldnt stop crying because Ive been so frustrated with not quite knowing whats going on!
At least now Im home I dont have to be frustrated alone. My mum is my rock
Hopefully Ill finally know whats happening today if the hospital phones. If not then Im going to chase it up myself because Im sick of waiting. Theyve told me this scan is a detailed one and very important that I have it because it should be able to tell me whats going to be wrong with my baby when he's born (if anything... but judging by what theyve been telling me and stuff then hes going to have a few problems :/)

But, enough about me. Im going to do as promised and catch up properly!
(All the way back from page 1122!)

Hayley - How frustrating. When you go back make sure they tell you exactly whats going on or they might just do the same thing again. Be persistant!

Lisaed - Lol, theyre messing me about a bit though because they were supposed to have me there yesterday morning... still waiting now. Looking forward to seeing thier equiptment though, been told its excellent! Hope youre well and out of hospital soon -hugs- xx

Smeej - Either way, not long till your bambino is in your arms :3 How exciting!

Loopy - -hugs-

Cola - Ive had something green come out too, while I was in hospital and I had to show the nurse my pads so they could monitor how much Id been bleeding and they said the green thing was just a bit of my plug. So yeah probably was just that for you too.
Apparently it can be different... like sometimes its more pinky and sometimes its more snotty coloured or whatever.

CrazyBird - My MW isnt seeing me till about 39 weeks either and by that time it will have been 4 weeks since the previous appointment with her! I thought you were supposed to see them more regular once you got to like 32 weeks though

Jakes - We've had fab weather the past few days! Looks like we'll be in for a gorgeous summer

Bernina - lol, have you managed to paint your toenails yet? It seemed like mission impossible for me when I tried so best of luck to you with that xD

Missfox - Oh dear. Sounds like Rosie wanted to give you a bit of a scare. Hope the MW appointment went well and everything is ok.

Rainbow - Its mad isnt it that so many April babies are already here! xD

Cottles - Dont panic, he might not have! Oh and definately dont blame yourself! Sounds like Toby just wants you to know hes definately still in there and causing you worry! If its worrying you alot then maybe just phone them up and explain how worried you are and they might bring your appointment forward?

Gertrude - Big hugs for you! Chin up, sweetie... Go and bask in the glorious weather lol

Sorry if I missed anyone!

 

[lilgemsy]

Oh my fuck.
Excuse me while I go and rip my hair out.
Hospital phoned just as I posted my last message.
I have to wait till FUCKING MONDAY.
Theyll have made me wait about 6 days by that time for a scan that was supposed to be urgent.
What a piss take.

(Sorry for the language.)

 

[2ndtimeAbz]

I'm enjoying not being at work but MAN am I bored! Got on the wii fit y'day doing alot of hula hoop and step, hoping I can hip-wiggle my way to labour LOL. Another appmnt with the MW today fx'd my hb levels have stayed above 10 and baby has maybe started to enagage a bit more - tho after ur first time they apparently sometimes don't even engage until 1st stage of labour. Funny thought, this time last pregnancy (38wks) I was marrying my lovely husband - how the hell did I have the energy to organise a wedding?!

 

[2ndtimeAbz]

Bloody hell gem! What a farce - pathetic! Monday?! Oh hun, no wonder you're feeling so frustrated
At least ur home with your mum and in a much more comfortable environment.
I've got everything crossed for you and Ollie.
