Congrats ladies x

So ladies... I'm freaking out a little. For the past month baby has been in the same position (head down, her back along my left side and her feet on my right side) but ever since I woke up this morning she has definitely changed position.

At first I thought she'd turned breech, but since this afternoon/evening I'm feeling the kicks almost right in the middle of my naval/belly button or right below... so now I'm thinking that baby is back-to-back. Most of the stories I've read involve either lots of intervention or end in EMCS (although as I type this while I'm still feeling lots of movement at the front, I'm also getting periodic pressure near cervix... so not entirely convinced she's not breech!)

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Try not to worry itsy, I think at this point it would be impossible to miss bub turning right around to be breech... Can't quite say much about being back to back but having a posterior labour doesn't always end with intervention. And you could probably turn them back before then.. Lots of hands and knees and bouncing on the ball.. My MW also said to do lunges after hands and knees to encourage them to engage after they reposition.

I'm in agony today. Can't even move. Does anyone else get the ligament pain in your side like this? It's horrible I get it all the time. I've taken pain killers but it hasn't helped. Kind of perched on my sofa in an awkward position. It's like a constant stabbing pain that hurts more if I move. Miserable and sad.

Itsy get on your hands and knees and get crawling!
It encourages baby to move into the correct position xx

Well I had second sweep yesterday. Wasn't as bad as first one. Maybe cause I knew what to expect.

Dr said still only 1 cm. but cervix was a little thinner.

Have another apt Friday. If nothing by then he is booking induction for end of next week.

So frustrated. I'm in agony a lot of the time. Jut want baby out!

Sorry hun... I haven't experienced this

When I get pain in my back I lay down with a pillow under my knees (helps straighten the spine) and after the first few minutes this helps me, but I don't know if it would help with the ligament pain. Have you tried a warm shower/bath?

Hope you find some relief

I have my first sweep tomorrow, so so nervous about it Have no idea what to expect
hoping cervix has done something :/ especially with the amount of braxton hicks and pain I have had lol
I know how you feel about wanting baby out I am so ready for her to just come now, although getting a bit nervous about the birth too now :/

I just wanted to say my lil boy was back to back when i had him, i was induced but other than that had a natural labour with no intervention. So it is possible although hard work as i only have that experience to go on i dont know but back to back is supposed to be a different kind of labour as u feel a lot in ur own back. Im sure u will be fine good luck x

I wouldn't worry too greatly about a posterior baby - Miranda was LOA on arrival at the hospital in labour. from contractions starting to pushing was 2 hours 40 minutes, but by the time I started pushing she had somehow managed to rotate the wrong way and was now posterior and brow presentation It took an hour and 20 minutes of pushing but I managed to get her out on my own with the help of an episiotomy right at the end - and it was a vbac too

Hi girls

Well I'm officially overdue. I've also had a bit of a scare yesterday. Community midwife said that if I didn't have 10 movements to phone in, add in I had really bad abdominal pain I ended up in the hospital. They think that where I've had my laparoscopy there's scar tissue underneath which has stretched and is what's causing the pain but they want to scan me (at first they said they were going to induce me today as there was a slot free) to see if the placenta has moved and is sitting on the scar tissue - hence why I've had reduced movement the past 48 hours.

Scans at 4:30 today, not ashamed to admit I'm a total wreck. Hoping baby's ok! I'm guessing I'll find out more then and will know what they're planning to do. I've got a sweep booked in on Friday at 11:15 with my midwife anyway so just hoping baby gets a wriggle on.

Hope everyone's ok, love to all gem x x x

Meh
due today
But midwife appt didn't go as well as hoped first blood pressure was a bit high
then when she was feeling baby - she said my muscles have separated too much and I will probably be sent for physio after having her
then her heartbeat was a bit higher than she would have liked, but slowed down again so think it was the poking and prodding
then came the stretch and sweep, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, uncomfortable, weird feeling but ok - but cervix was unfavourable, behind baby's head, which was at -1station, and she managed t. Pull it forward a bit but couldn't get a finger in so said it didn't work
so bit gutted and then as I am getting decent again, she says there is protein in my wee
so I now have to keep a close eye out for any pre-eclampsia signs xx

I just want her here now :/ xx

How is everyone else?
