I do have 3 son's so this was hard to accept 3 losses in a row. I was hoping for answers from the tests I was having done, but they all turned out okay. I rather call it bad luck after having the test then to go off of a gut feeling at least I have something to back it up, you know. I just don't know why my baby would died at 13.2 weeks nothing was found wrong with her and she measured on track so its not like she was weeks behind what I was measuring. I would like to know why her heart gave out. I know I will not get that answer so that will forever be in my head. I just want to move forward but its really hard and it gets harder as Dec 5th gets closer.
Congrats to the rest of you ladies. I am happy for you all! Thanks for letting me get this out in here! hugs to everyone.

Nitengale, what a lovely picture. Thats a good weight too.
My baby was estimated to be about 5lbs 4oz at 34 weeks.
Your not far behind us. I cant actually believe that Im 37 weeks already, how did that happen!
Its going to be interesting to see who is first to have their baby, I wonder if anyone will go early.

Hi guys,
Glad that everyone is doing ok. i am so jealous of you all being on maty leave already. 3 weeks to go yet for me - if I hold on that long.
I had a 3h appointment at the antenatal clinic yesterday. LO is still breech and is getting to a size where turning without help is getting less likely. I had to have another scan and growth is on the 60-70th centile. Another scan in 2 weeks then they will schedule me for an ECV procedure. Unfortunately my local hospital only has a 40% success rate and they openly admit they don't really try very hard. I am starting to prepare myself for having to have a planned caesarian - not my choice but I have to do what is safest for the baby. The thought of spending 1/4 of my maty leave not being allowed to drive and recovering from major surgery sucks!!

Lala, have you tried crawling about on all 4's and scrubbing floors, Ive heard that helps to turn a baby and get it engaged.
Just make sure you do your research on ECV, I dont want to come across as Im a know it all which Im clearly not but Ive read dangerous things about having that done. But then again it could be more so for people like me with a double womb. Luckily my baby is head down and not breech but with my condition there is a high risk of breech babies and Ive read under no circumstances let them try to do an ECV as its dangerous to the baby and risks cord accidents. I think its really important its done under ultrasound.
A work colleague of mines - her step daughter is due the day after me in Ireland and her baby is breech. Last week she went in to have an ECV done and was expecting a doctor with an ultrasound etc. but it was just a normal midwife, she asked her to stop and said she wasnt happy for iyt to be continued and was fine with the prospect of having a section.
I understand the disappointment you may feel if you dont get to have a natural birth but I too still dont know if Im getting booked in for a section, I'll discuss it with my consultant next week.
Its not all doom and gloom with sections, apparently you have drive after a couple of weeks if up to it, nothings set in stone and everyone has different recovery rates. Ive actually read lots of positive experiences now from people who had sections.
Whats meant to be will be I guess. Would be great if your baby turns by itself.

Nitengale - that is an awesome pic!! Really great weight too! I am quite jealous of anyone who's had a scan recently. I haven't seen Tiddler since 20 weeks! I am so curious as to what she looks like!

After losing my baby in December I remember approaching the due date in August with massive trepidation. It did pass peacefully and helped me to move forward somewhat but it was probably the second hardest part of my miscarriage. I am sending you so much love xxx
LalaR - oh your little one is certainly being a monkey!! My antenatal teacher said that doing pelvic tilts whilst on all fours helps to turn the baby, plus sitting upright or using a birthing ball. Leaning backwards encourages the baby to get comfortable and so they are less likely to turn. I really hope your LO moves soon and if not, as Justkeeptryin says, a C section is not as bad as it seems. Especially if you are prepared for it. Sending baby movement vibes!!
I can't believe I am also nearing 37 weeks, I honestly never ever thought I'd make it. Even though *touch wood* this pregnancy has gone well my mind had never truly been in sync with my body. I know how you ladies feel as at 34 weeks I felt like time was going sooooo slowly!! I think it does help setting little milestones though. My next one is obviously the 37 week mark. It is so strange to think it's actually going to happen! I just packed my hospital bag and now I'm pretty much set apart from a few last minute things! I'm also spending today washing baby clothes so they smell nice ready for Tiddler's arrival

Love the pics Nite...I have a pic of my bubs that looks almost like that! lol I think they are getting squished in there!
Lala...Have you checked out spinningbabies.com. I am told there are a lot of exercises on there that might help with breech babies. I know the feeling about fearing a c-section...Thinking of you!
Felyn...Thinking of you and sending you positive vibes.
Hello everyone else! Hope you all are well. I am curious to see who will give birth first too. This thread will soon be filled with birth stories and baby pics and I can't wait!
I am feeling much better. I have been in and out of the hospital with headaches and preterm contractions. Doctors have diagnosed me with an irritable uterus. I am home now which feels soooo nice and will be making 3x a week trips to the hospital for tests which I am happy about. I have another ultrasound coming in a week and a half which is fun to see baby moving around. Last Friday it was chewing on its foot and I think I know what we are having but I am still keeping it a secret! lol
Sounds like with all of my pre-term contractions and headaches he will be inducing me at 38 weeks. Which means only 3 weeks give or take a few days and I get to attempt my vaginal birth. Pretty positive day yesterday. Bubs has been a rockstar with all of its NSTs and everything so I really haven't had a chance to worry about the baby yet which is great!

That's a great picture Nitengale! Cute baby
Lala I hope your LO turns head down pretty soon.
Glad you are feeling better Krippy I'm grateful not to have any problems with my pregnancy but I'm jealous of all your ultrasounds!
I'm also curious to see who will be first to deliver! Can't wait to see a real baby! It feels so surreal right now.
We finished painting the nursery today, and all that's left to do now are the floors! Unfortunately OH is working a lot lately so it will be at least another week before it's all done. But if the baby doesn't come early, the nursery should be ready! I can't wait. The stuff is all in our room right now, it's a mess!

Well ladies guess what...Ive had my baby yesterday..little Emelia!
My waters broke yesterday morning at 5am Saturday, I went to teh hospital at 9 am and confirmed that waters had broken but was only 1cm dilated. I was going to be sent home but they agreed to induce things with whatever chemical it is.
They started the process at 12.30 noon and I thought I was such a weakling as I was really struggling with the contractions as they were so intense. I asked for an epidural an hour into it and next thing the midwife was checking me down there and started crying out that there was lots of dark hair and could see the head. I had an hour and a half labour and Emelia was born at 1.56 with gas and air only no time for the epidural. the midwives were so excited shouting this is a record breaking labour haha.
She is such a sweetheart, I just love her to bits and my instincts were right that I was having a girl. She was 6lbs 7 oz and so petite. We both got discharged home tonight.
Im feeling really good overall but I did tear and also had to be cut and stitched up. I still cant believe it. She's really mines. Pictures to follow x

Congratulations JustKeep!! Can't wait to see all these beautiful babies!
AFM- the hematologist dismissed my elevated anticardiolipin iGg and said that it is transient and may not even be there next time. One little thing (sarcasm) that he didn't even mention to me was that I tested positive for Homozygous MTHFR two variants on c677t. Looks like I'll be meeting with a bunch of doctors over the next few months :-/

Am quite nervous but so happy to be finally meeting Harvey I am now in a complete panic making sure everything is ready for him. Can't belive he will be here in 5 days 
Hope everyone is well
