Not great news. They wouldn't perform the ECV as apparently they will only do one if the baby is vertical breech, not oblique breech (so why waste my time to bring me in again to tell me??). Instead, unless he moves I have to get a csection. To make matters worse, as there is a risk of cord prolapse (ie if I start to go into labour there is a chance that the cord will come out first rather than the head or feet). Apparently that is seriously bad news so I am being admitted to hospital on Monday and if I don't go into labour beforehand (and baby has not turned by itself) I will get a csection at 39 weeks.

The thought of a week stuck in hospital being bored out of my brain is not thrilling me, especially when I have so much more to do at home before baby arrives (decorate nursery, get builders to finish building work, wash baby clothes etc!)

I really hope you guys get better news :-(

Oh no sorry to hear this. I'm guessing this is exactly what I'll be told tomorrow if baby still oblique! I'm taking my hospital bags just in case as I live 30 mins away from hospital so I'm guessing it'll be too high risk to send me home!

I'll update tomorrow.
 
Ooh - I hope not hon! Let us know. We'll have to keep posting to keep the boredom away. I think I might order a kindle to keep me entertained. I was thinking of getting one anyway to while away the hours whilst breast feeding when I'll only have one free arm so turning normal pages would be tough!

I've got everything crossed that it won't be the same for you! X
 
Really sorry that they wasted your time and you couldn't have the ECV and that really sucks you having to go in hospital on Monday :(

Can I ask have both you ladies just been oblique lie or has it changed throughout the weeks? For me it's been left transverse, then right transverse and then oblique, she even changed from the 2 appointments I had 4 days apart. I know I have 11/12 days more than both of you but I've got a big feeling that she won't turn head down.
 
Judging by my lopsided bump he made himself cozy quite early and has stayed there ever since!

Hopefully if your baby has been moving around you've got a better chance that he might still move!
 
She seems very unstable so I think even if she went down at all she wouldn't stay put.
 
The last 2 times I've seen midwife baby has been oblique with head by my left hip but I'm sure that in between visits she's moved all over the place but it's never been confirmed!
 
Baby is head down today but still floating so could still change position again. They didn't seem concerned at hospital though and have just said that I'll need another presentation scan when I go into labour.
 
I think if she/he's still moving around quite a bit there's a good chance she/he will move into the correct position when the time comes. Mine has never really moved which is why I don't think he's going to budge - though he's thumping around in there so much that I wonder if he's trying to move but something stopping him?
 
Went to my consultant appointment today and she checked baby's position and couldn't tell properly so had to bring in an ultrasound scanner into the room, baby has changed position yet again since Monday and now in more of a breech position, so she is classed as an unstable lie like I said I thought she was.
I will have another scan in 2 weeks time and speak about my options after the scan, if not head down then they will book me in for C-section and if head down they have mentioned that they might induce me while it's in the head down position. So we will see in 2 weeks time but I've been told to go straight in if labour signs start early because it's dangerous with the possibility of prolapse cord.
 
Wow - you have a busy baby in there! I'm so sorry your baby hasn't stayed head down :-( Fingers crossed in two weeks time it will be head down and engaged!

In the meantime make sure you phone the hospital immediately if you get any signs of labour and assume the hands and knees on floor, bum in the air position just in case!

Whereabouts in the world are you? Are you in the UK?

Baby not once been in the head down position just every other position possible lol. Thank you :)

I worry because we are at least 30 minutes drive away from the hospital I'm having the baby at and also we don't drive so will have to get a lift off a family member that's if they are available at the time, my mother in law who is probably the person that will take us to hospital when it's time is away from 28th until 4th so I really hope nothing happens in that time. Also I found out that an ambulance wouldn't take us to the correct hospital because this would take us to the local hospital that has no maternity unit any more.

Yes I'm in UK, I live in greater Manchester area. How about yourself?
 
Ooh these naughty babies not turning, hope they all decide to in the end! Mine was a bit of a rebel for a while and was breech then transverse but turned head down sometime between 35 and 37 weeks. I've even heard of babies turning later than that so you never know ladies :)
 
It's time I posted Jude's birth story.. It's a long one so I'm putting everything in spoilers pictures included. Well, maybe just this one ;) lol sleeping baby poses I can't get enough of

Baby jude was born on aug 18th at 4:51pm at 38 weeks pregnant weighing 8pounds and 7 ounces 20 1/2 inches long. He is doing great and nursing amazingly!

Labor & birth

Thurs aug 14th strech & sweep at drs office

Friday aug 15th 12am bloody show.
Fri Slow achy dead exhausted irritable nauseated

Saturday aug 16th regular contx across abdomen poop feeling woke up with back ache 6am. Walked at 8Am. Start of reg ctx
went to hospital 330pm. Contractions 2-3 mins apart. Not dialating. Still only 3cm & 60% effaced. My kidney stone flared up (second one this pregnancy) and urine cath showed kidney infection (also second one of this pregnancy) in a ton of pain and my heart rate was in tachycardia with a fever of 101 and the on call doctor admitted me to the hospital for antibiotics.

Sunday aug 17th Passed small gravel stone. Bigger one still stuck right flank. After ten hours of regular contractions 2-3 min apart I was still only dialated to a 3cm and 60% effaced. I'm exhausted and my whOle body is shaking Fever off and on. Baby jude is not tolorating my fever at all. His heart rate would spike in the 210s and the nurses would get very concerned. IV Meds trying to kill off the infection not working well.

Monday aug 18th my doctor arrives at the hospital and tells me baby has to come out ASAP. I am moved to labor and delivery at 10am and started on pitocin.
1210 pm water broken
Got epidural at 6cm. (My epidural was amazing this time. I had full range of motion with my legs. Heaven!)
I told the nurse baby is coming now and I'm waiting on doc to get there and get dressed and trying with all my might not to push.. When dr gets there i push and head is out and then I keep pushing but baby's sholder got stuck (shoulder dystocia)
And his cord was wrapped around his neck. The nurse immediately jumped on top of my belly and started pushing and told me to push with everything I had and fast. The dr pulled the baby out by the head and I tore. The cord being compressed made him loose oxygen and he came out not breathing at all and they took him from me immediately. It took almost a full min before I heard him cry and that was the longest I've ever had to wait on something in my life. It felt like 6 hours!
Finally he pinked up and they handed him to me after awhile of checking on him.
His right side was all bruised up but other than that and some swelling he was perfect! They said he was going to be little about 7 pounds and he popped out a whopping 8 pounds 7ounces. My doctor said had I waited another two weeks I would have had a 10 pound baby and ended with a c section!
4.51pm had baby jude entered the world

Corben Leon was born on the 28th of August weighing 8lbs 8oz :happydance: I did get to VBAC but unfortunately the labour wasn't great and we ended up being transferred from the birth centre to the hospital where he was delivered by forceps. We're home now and settling in, he's absolutely gorgeous and his big sister loves him to bits :cloud9:

Gorgeous babies ladies, congratulations!

Bellybump look at those chunky thighs! I'd have a hard time not squishing them constantly. So cute.
 
Congratulations again ladies!

Any more birth announcements from ladies not in the FB group? Hope everyone's well!

Gracie was 3 weeks old yesterday and she's doing great! I can't upload pics from my phone but I'll try and get on the computer soon. I can't get over how beautiful she is :cloud9: xx
 
Can't believe we have so many babies in this group already. Nearly into September now woohoo!
