Oct. '11 Mommies (30 Days and Under Left) 23 Babies Here!!!

[Michelle773]

I have a little bit yet before I am ready to try to evict her...not that I don't already want to I have a couple of more weekends worth of projects to do before I am really ready for her, and that will also be the time she is full term, so maybe that will work out! Of course I will probably go over due, so I don't want to get my hopes up! I am also pretty sure baby is still breech, so I can't try to engage her until that happens. My midwife told me to "sit like a lady" until she turns, ha ha.

I heard that if you spend time on all fours, it gives a breech baby more room to turn??!! Might be worth a try x

Ha ha, I have been trying all fours, and inverting myself with pillows, etc. I have also tried putting a cold pack where I think her head is and music and light near my pelvic bone, LOL. I will try just about anything. I am scared that she doesn't have enough room to turn. I am having a hard time telling what parts are what right now, so it's possible she made the turn without me knowing it, but I have a feeling that is not the case. I can't wait to find out for sure on Thursday!

After having a little bleed on Saturday and aching for a few days I am petrified of going early. I mean either way I'll end up witha c-section but I suddenly realized how much I want the last few days and really don't want to encourage the babies sooner. Bags are packed and sitting by the bedroom door, the nursery is ready except some paintings I'm working on and the house is relatively clean including almost every piece of laundry done.. but still.. I want more time!!!!!

LS - Here's hoping they stay put for now!

Acorn - let us know if the light thing works. I heard about that in my birthing class, and the lady said it was about 50% effective!

 

[shelleney]

Im confused about what I want.
Part of me cant wait to meet her, and Im getting seriously uncomfortable now, so Im thinking of starting "operation eviction" in 16 days time.
But another part of me loves being pregnant, and will miss having her inside me, so I might leave her in until she's ready (even if that means going overdue).
I just dont know

I didnt like it when I was pregnant with Sophie but I am really enjoying it this time round - mind you I have also been craving beer (lol) which I hate so I guess my tastes have changed
