Just had confirmed what I feared, Pickle has indeed flipped to breech again. His head is tucked into my ribs and although they think he is more than capable of shifting himself again, it looks like consultant, breech clinic, possible ECV and the works as from tomorrow morning when I manage to be able to speak to them.

Not a happy camper.
 
Congratulations Charmedkirsty!

Sorry to hear that AmethystDream, can definitely sympathise. My LO still has her head stubbornly stuck up by my ribs. Really hope everything goes well for you.

Think I'm probably going to try and opt for a vaginal delivery, have been doing lots of research and seeing as I actually have the option, which many don't, think it would be good to try. My midwife has changed my consultant to someone she feels will be more willing to listen, she happens to be my friend's consultant too and apparently she is really good. Got an appointment with her on Wednesday.

Brilliant that you have such a wonderful midwife!

I don't know where I stand yet. I could be unlucky to be booked into a place that wont even let me try (well, they can attempt to take that attitude anyway) or I could strike lucky and get a team who are perfectly happy to go ahead. The fact that the place we are booked into is a dedicated women's hospital with the most facilities being for maternity, labour and birth, you would think it would be the latter... but you never do know.

I'm surprised just how annoyed and upset I am about it. I know that he is a wiggly arse and could quite easily flip back (4th time lucky, huh?) but a c section (well the recovery from it) would be a bit of a disaster with our new circumstances, if I'm honest.

Ho bloody hum.

Without doubt I'd be taking the V route but, as I said in your other thread, with spinal/epidural ready to go just in case. Our LOs don't make it easy for us, do they, Hun? :dohh:
 
AmethystDream, sorry to hear that LO is just not cooperating. Hope you're able to get some answers and a plan put in place tomorrow.

Loopy, glad they changed your consultant. That's nice that you still have the option for a regular delivery. Hope all goes well with the new consultant.
 
Amethyst - Oh nooo. I hope he does shit himself again. Naughty little pickle! x

Jen - Im ALWAYS hungry. And today it seems to be worse than usual. I just cant stop eating :| Glad you mentioned it actually as I now know Im not the only one :p

Kirsty - Congrats on little Leo! Lovely name ^_^ x
 
OMG. That was supposed to say shift not shit!
Shift himself again. :|
Lol, sorry xD Bad typo.
 
They really don't make it easy for us do they?! Oh well, it will be worth it in the end :thumbup:.

Gem, I had to thank you for your typo, it definitely made my day!
 
Congrats charmedkirsty

Lol gem that made me laugh.

Choco I am also hungry all the time, can't stop picking and I'm never like that usually. I've had 2 cooked dinners today, my nan made me toad in the hole at lunch and oh made lasagne for dinner. Hope the hunger disappears once lo is here. I was up at 1am eating toast :)

Amesthyst sorry your little man is breech, hopefully he could still turn. Does it feel wierd to have his head in your ribs or is it the same as having a foot stuck in your ribs?

I think he has only just put his head there, he was pretty central but then on the drive into the hospital I said to OH that my ribs were really aching. Lo and behold he has tucked his little head in.

Feels a lot different than a foot, although we all know how uncomfortable that can be. Very little movement from his head but just a sense of constant uncomfortable aching and the occasional sharp twinge as he pushes upwards a bit. Radiographer was lovely and said that he still had plenty of liquid to move around in (but not too much) and that he was obviously an active little boy and could just move by himself. Was nice to have confirmation of his sex at last... her cry of "there's a sausage" when she first put the scan on made me chortle.

Feeling pretty sorry for myself, I'm already faced with the prospect of birth on my own and OH only being home on weekends from now on. Not a happy bear.
 
congrats kirsty, lovely name too. Have you written a birth story?

oh no Amethyst, lets hope he flips again.

gem your typo nearly made me pee myself

Well im off up to bed to watch a film and hopefully get some sleep

Nite xxx

Congrats Kirsty! Nice to see a baby from the old Aug 2010 WTT thread. Although neither of us stuck it out til Aug last year!

I too am stuffing my face! Hungry about every 2 hours. Ah well, I'll worry about the lardiness once bubs is out. Can kid myself it's all bump & fluid til then! x
 
Congratulatuins Kirsty x
Lol Gem made my night with your typo x
 
Haha well Im glad I cheered a few of you up with my typo :p
Made me quite red-faced when Id realised what Id put! xD :blush:

Ahhh I have the worst tummy ache ever.
Well its more like period pains without the period.
Had them like all day excpecting them to go away but theyre not going!
 
Will read back later just at my mums at the mo - finally getting our kitchen installed!

Docotor appointment went ok everything fine apart from protein in my urine and swelling on hands and feet but blood pressure is fine! I have had a few stressful days so not sur[rised with the swelling! Baby is still head down which i am pleased about, and she more than made up for her lack of movement today!

Hope alll you ladies are well - will catch up soon when I have time x
 
Jakes, glad progress is being made on the kitchen. How long until it's finished?

Gem, period pains could be a promising sign of early labor :)
