Hello ladies and bumps!:D

Jillie - OH and I have been trying to find out what flavour bump is from the word go but havent yet and am now 34+5. However I sat down with OH and discussed what he wanted to do at the birth... he didnt know he could be involved. So the plan is that he will relay all instructions, cut the cord, and announce the sex as it seems we wont find out before hand. Also have involved OH in names, nursery colour, etc so he doesnt feel left out.

Sugarspunsister - please let me know how the ECV goes... it seems my bubs is stubborn as well.

:mad:Rant alert :mad:

I had my 34week MW appt and she said, well you are still breech so I will refer you for a C section. I said "erm no thank you" this caused a bit of suprise from midwife who didnt understand that I dont want a Csection unless it is an emergency. I know it is a bit quirky but personally I dont want an elective Csection, infact I dont want any elective operations if it can be avoided. All my MW said was well you will need to discuss this with the obstetrician at your next appointment as vaginal breech births are very dangerous. But I know that is bull as there are ECV available and I know a few people whose first babies were breech, and hey had no problems, just like I know my mum had problems with me but I was positioned correctly. I really dont like my MW and am so glad I am going to be seen by the obstetrician... if I end up with that woman in the room with me when giving birth there may be a bit of a situation. Grrrr:mad: Rant over

Cheapskate - I'm a 1st timer but I know what you mean. I don't feel pg, maybe partly because was luicky enough not to have any MS. Now I just look fat! I can feel that my belly is harder than pure lard would be but non-one else knows that!

I haven't felt the baby move yet either.

Just checked our bank account - I have received the HIPG today too!

Sorry to be ignorant but what's ECV?

External Cephalic Version, they attempt to manually turn a breech baby the right way up from the outside. As Sami so eloquently put it: _pale_

Healing hugs to you and your DD Mrs Moc - hopefully you will both be back on your feet in no time - my mum had her appendix out when she was younger and she recovered quite quickly Today with modern surgery and keyhole techniques etc she should be bouncing in no time. The appendix (sp?) isn't actually needed anyway so she won't miss it

Hiya gang, havn't read back yet as Im so excited to get off my chest that Ive had my scan today and been put forward 2 days so Im 12 weeks today!!:j
Scan was amazing, baby is fine,the sonographer told it off for not keeping still, he/she was waving arms and kicking legs. Wow I'd forgotten how amazing it is when you see your baby for the first time! I'll get pic uploaded later if anyone wants to see. Im trying to see the 'nub' but can't see one. Told the kids straight after..cue lots of excitement and arguing over wanting a brother or sister (dd wants sister ds wants a brother!) Then went and met up with a group of friends and their kids at a pub with soft play bit attatched and had a nice meal and told them all the happy news..cue LOTS more excitement and squealing and teary friends! So Im wacked now!!
Right off to read back what I missed

MrsTinks

Ickle when did you apply for your HiPG? Doubt there is much point in me even checking my account yet lol

edit to add - Nope no sign of mine yet but then it's not been more than 2 weeks so I wasn't really expecting it
