    SIL had successful ECV, so there's some hope for you folks! :D Two sessions, painful but it worked so for her it was worth it. Then had a 1 hour labour with her delivereing the head while trying to get onto the bed and get her kickers off! :rotfl:! hour from first 'I know this is a contraction' at home till birth. Luckily she was only 10mins from the hospital.

    tiamai - that's it just scare me! I know I want a fast birth etc but I live 30 mins from the hospital!!! :eek: and DH often works in an office 2 hours from home! :eek:
    Good job his boss is aware that he's going to be working from home more and more in the run up to the due date :) And thankfully he's one of the last guys to become a dad so everyone understands and is happy for him to work from home lots after she arrives too (just as well as the paternity leave sucks...)

    LOL, was her third and she had quick births with all 3 of them and never a problem.

    Lucky swine.... :rolleyes::rolleyes:

    My livingroom is prettypretty. Now to make the kitchen, bathroom and hall the same while at the same time, making dinner (baked potatoes with bacon and mushroom) and cooking off the rest of the mince to go in the freezer.

    Trying to decide if I'm having BH, ligament pain or bowel cramps at the moment. Either one, it's sore and I feel all 'liquidy' inside. Not nice at all

    And someone remind me that I have the mw tomorrow to do a pee dip and BP check.

    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 :D

    I'm still feeling nauseous after that ECV video, but I agree - I also would refuse a C section if Bubba stays breech. I have read you can have a successful vaginal birth with a breech baby and I'd probably just get a IM in to help as I'm having a home birth.

    Gemmagem - welcome and congrats!

    Well, I am happy today cos OH and I have 'won' free tickets to see QI being filmed in May! :T We applied online the other week but the computer kept playing up and the website was awful so it took about ten tries, so we don;t know if the request accepted was for 2 for 4 tickets :doh: cos we tried both! But yay! Will be a fun night out although I will be 31 weeks by then so might be uncomfortable in the seat.

    Been working all day today and have loads to do so won;t be on for the next couple of days as I really need to get it done - at least it is £25 an hour so it's all good! :D

    Hi all, congrats to the newbies!!

    RANT ALERT!!

    Had an appt at the hosp to see a consultant today as mw said i should be consultant led because of gbs and 3 lots of uti's but mw put on referral that i was query breech and measuring large and had asked?? to see consultant.

    WELL saw a dr not the one on the paperwork he didnt seem to know why i was there, said virtually nothing about gbs but asked if i was having home birth?!!! I said id been told that was not an option for me and he just kinda grunted...grrr. well he poked and prodded and said looks as if babe is head down and measured me at 35 wks (was measuring 36 wks last wk??).

    SO goin back at 38 wks but thought it was a big waste of time and still dont really know when i have to go to hospital once in labour - read dif things but will go in early cos def want the 4 hours on anti-biotics b4 bubs arrives.

    RANT OVER

    Thanks for 'listening' guys xx
