That's a big difference clh! Shows you how inaccurate those measurements are.

Omi I hope you get the house! Just organise others to do everything for you so you can relax and put your feet up. When will you find out?
 
glad to hear all is well clh! your bump did look really different last week, maybe the baby has moved around!
 
Well next app is 2 weeks time so were see if I gain 2 weeks or 4 weeks to make me what I should be!
 
Will be interesting. Could they feel what position baby was in?
 
Clh, maybe the position has changed?

In an ideal world we will be moved in a week or so before he is born but if he comes when I am in hospital at least my in-laws are off work so can help out.
 
Just back from consultants appt. and it was a lot different to what I expected. I originally had to see them as my hip is fused on the left side and they weren't sure what affect that would have on labour. We've just been told that baby is still oblique and now measuring 4 weeks ahead. We've been booked in
For a growth scan next Monday and been told to bring my hospital bags as if he is still oblique they want me to stay in hospital. If my waters break in the mean time we are to call for an emergency ambulance. If my waters break at home they'll do a c-section and if I get admitted to hospital next week and he doesn't turn by 39 weeks then it's a c-section. If he turns and stays turned for 48 hrs I can go home and wait for delivery naturally although I'd my hips cause a problem they will do a c-section. Kinda wish they'd just give me a date and be done with it but I guess now we wait. Dh is a little worried I think an I just want to get him out safely. :(
 
Sorry about the shock Zfbaby. I hope it is a planned rather than a emergency c-section. I can tell you from experience the planned ones are very relaxed, I was really scared with DS1 and they really managed to make it feel surprisingly laid back. A planned c-section in the UK for positioning will fall between 39-40 weeks normally, exactly when in that week may depend on how bookable slots are dealt with in your hospital.
 
Gosh, just checked your ticker, there is a good chance you will be having your LO in just over 3 weeks!
 
Aw zfbaby, that must've been a complete shock to hear! I hope all will be ok with your scan so you don't have to stay in hospital so I'll keep my fingers tightly crossed! But like you said, main thing is to get your little boy out safely and like Omi said, you're nearly there! X
 
That's so soon!
Yeah I wish it was planned so that I knew it was coming. I've always been scared that lo will be stuck in my hips and they'd do a ecs or try forceps which I'm totally against. They've mentioned a manual turning but I've heard horrible things about those which scared me more. I said to dh that whilst I know nothing is risk free I feel that natural labour is more risky for him and c-section is more risky for me so I'd rather have a c-section if that makes sense. I'm more concerned for him being here safely than me. Plus the idea that my waters could break at home on my own is now scaring me. Plus I've now gone from having maybe 6 weeks to prep to 1. I'd have to leave dh in charge of finishing everything and thatll drive me mad.
 
They tried turning my sisters baby and she said it was really painful and it didn't work!
I feel the same as you, as long as baby is ok so I'd be more up for a c-section than "see how things go" on natural labour. Can't believe how close it's all getting
 
omg zfbaby it's exciting though how close you are to meeting your baby, no matter how they get here. i'm sorry for all the uncertainty though. but have faith the doctors will do what's best. it's not very likely your waters will break this early. do you have much left to do?
 
Some painting which dh is going to do today and we need to arrange for the new carpets to be fitted and then just some cleaning bits and sewin bits. Nothing that's major if he decided to come early just things I wanted to do to make it perfect. I've for some shopping to do but I can do a lot online and get dh to do it too.
I was shocked but not panicked whilst we were there now we've left and I've had time to think it over I'm a bit annoyed at myself. I wish I'd mentioned the increased hiccups and freaky movement as that's been linked to cord issues which are more likely with oblique babies. Probably just hitting panic mode but I'm glad I've got Mw appt tomorrow so I can ask.

Did the midwife say what could've made your bump change shape so much?

I didn't even mention it, she was going to take blood but as I haven't taken any iron pills she said we would do it next time

Hope everything turns out fine zbaby
 
I just got back from my midwife appointment. Baby has moved down into the pelvis and is partly engaged :)
Bp was not good though and midwife asked if the consultant talked to me about inducing yet. So I think I'll be induced as bp keeps going up and down loads! I'll hear it next week when I see the consultant (I hope).

Gosh suddenly seems like we are both on the express train.
 
It's mad isn't it? Now things start to mess around though I am ready for them to induce. My induction with Marielle went fab so I'm not worried, but like you I just want to end the uncertainty.
Just looked at my notes and baby is 3/5 engaged! Midwife said baby had gone down a lot but didn't expect that much already! Hence the feeling like I had been sat on a horse for 8 hours this week lol
 
That doesn't sound like a nice feeling. I had some shooting sensations down below the other night and had hoped that meant baby had moved but doesnt look like it. I can't believe tht the other day I was saying how I wanted to go over my dd and now I want him to be here. Think if they'd said theyd take him out tomorrow id do it just to know he was ok.
On a nicer note 5 of my cloth nappies turned up this afternoon so that's cheered me up. :)
