[smeej]

Sheesh! - It's certainly all kicking off here today ladies!

Kenny B - Good Luck with the Induction - I can imagine how nervous you must be feeling, but just try and think how different things will be in a couple of days time when you are holding your beautiful babies in yiour arms! xx

Cami - Good Luck! IT's finally happening for you Can't wait to hear all about it and see pics xx

Abz - sounds like it's happening for you too! The houseework and work can wait GOOD LUCK! xx

Gems - i know exactly how you feel - I get worried becaue baby is big and excess fluid can mean lotsof things, and i've googled and scared the sh*t out myself! I think the answer is to stay off the PANIC WEB as i now call it. We just have to have faith in our Docs and beleive that all will be well with our little ones xx

Getting nervous about my appointment tomorrow. I'm sure they won't set dates or anything but I don't have a clue what to expect. Also really not sure if I should try ECV if they suggest it. What if he's breech for a reason (like cord is wrapped around his neck or something)?? Ohhh.

Hiya,

Saw that in a later post you had been booked in for an ECV for next week. A few things... they now perform the manipulations in L&D with a scanner for just those reasons. They will check at every stage to see that baby is OK and where the cord is.

With my youngest she was breech but turned the night before the breech clinic and a cursory glance from the consultant (literally 5 seconds) and then, "head is down" and out of the clinic we went. Now if he had looked a bit better (and we would have insisted upon it if we knew then what we know now), he would have seen that the cord was around her neck. Knowing this, and knowing that the little guy has already been flipping like a good 'un already, we insist that each scan is performed with a view to also visualising the cord and testing the umbilical doppler flow. They have been happy to do this each time and will be doing it again at the end of March.

Aside from anything, LO could still turn. Keeping my fingers crossed for you, Hun

 

[CottlestonPie]

Thats really good to know thanks xx
Ill do my best to make sure they monitor baby, cord and flow. They've said he's not only breech but also pretty much back to back so I'm not holding out much hope. Worth a try though!

Gem it's when they try and turn baby manually. Apparently it's less than 50% sucessful and fairly painful but we'll see. It's my last chance to turn him before booking the c-section.

Flipping 'eck Ladies, we seem to be popping out these April babies at a rate of knots!

Good luck to Kenny, Cami and Abz, I look forward to seeing your beautiful little people

Saw the consultant this morning, I nearly kissed the man He brought in a portable scanner and had a good look at Pickle. Little guy has turned <phew> is in a good position and is looking well.

He has also taken me off weekly appointments for the first time since 22 weeks saying that I can just relax until baby decides to make an appearance and just to see the midwives when I fancy and make an appointment with him if I want to talk about anything at all.

Relax... sheesh. Does that man know how much I still have left to do and that I have 3 small people to look after?
