Just wondering - I've got a weird feeling that I'm going to need some sort of help with this baby. Baby is not head down at the moment (I know it's early days) and due to the birth weights of my previous 2 I'm under a consultant.
I would love for my feelings to come to nothing. If I'm still low risk at my consultant appointment in 4 weeks time (i.e. baby has turned, BP still low, no GD etc) I'm trying to push for MLBU again so I can go natural like I have the past 2 times. However, I don't know why but I just think something is going to need extra attention.
I'm not happy with trying a Breech birth - even though I know they are pretty good, my first had a mild dystocia and a shoulder injury and given the sizes the chances of complications are high. However, I do not want my baby to be born early unless they want to come early.
Can you request no induction/c-sec until EDD? This is my and my hubby's feelings about it - feeling that if baby comes before EDD they would be smaller and would be coming under their own steam so less chance of complications. If we got to EDD though, I would be happier to go for example an ELCS or an induction as baby wouldn't be 'early' and we could then plan rather than that horrid going overdue waiting game.
Question would be though if for example baby stayed breech or transverse (keeps flipping between two) would they 'allow' me to wait until 40 weeks? I know they say that it's all down to you etc, but would there be pressure to go before? I've gone OD both times before so highly likely I'll go to full 40w this time too.
