Well I'm back from my ECV at last. Baby did not cooperate at all and wouldn't budge. As I have a footling breech the consultant thinks that a foot has dropped down into my pelvis which is why bubba wouldn't move.
I was told that the ecv would feel like a "firm massage" and that "generous" amounts of oil would be used! They lied - they did it on dry skin, despite me having to ask them to stop a few times and actually put some on, they didn't. Anyway they tried 3 times and finally gave up trying to move LO. They have scheduled my C-section for the 7th November. I thought that was a little late, considering my due date is the 12th. They said they couldn't deliver the baby any earlier, yet were happy for me to go today, if my waters broke??
I'm a little sore now, not nearly as bad as I expected to be - OH bought me a stack of magazines to read because I was so brave, so I'm gonna tuck myself up in bed now. I'm a little sad that I have to have a section, but I like knowing when baby will arrive. It was scary signing the forms and I know I'll be a wreck the night before it, but this time in 2 weeks I'll have my baby!
Sorry for the pointless post, but just thought I'd share
