    Aw Gillby, sorry they couldn't turn bubba but on the bright side at least you know when you are going to meet him! Not long now :)

    re-Arnica, yes it would still be beneficial to take Arnica as it is taken to ease/ minimise bruising and deep tissue damage which you can still obviously get from having a section. The other homeopathic remedy that you might find useful (if you are up for giving it a go) is Hypericum as it helps to heal wounds. I have had a great success with this remedy, and my aunt who has just undergone major surgery has surprised all the nurses and Dr's by healing so quickly after taking it. Hypericum is also useful after vaginal labour if any tears/ stitches are needed. HTH.

    Gill there is alot of mixed information as to weather vitamin E is good or bad for you during pregnancy. There was a big study done in 2006 which suggested it can cuase low birth weights and still births. Personally i have avoided vitamin E & D but i would say ask your midwife if you are safe to use them i wouldnt like to say go ahead just incase :-)

    The arminca tablets can be bought from Holland & Barrets or boots they are in small purple Tubes usually :-)

    Oh god....I'm so glad I checked! I will take these ones back and get some that are EPO on their own from either holland and barratt or the £1 shop next week. Think I have enough to do me till then. I would never forgive myself if something went wrong and there was a possibility it might be due to the vitamin E. Thanks for the info on arnica...hoped I could get them somewhere cheaper but will be in holland and barratt next week.

    Gilly - sorry to hear baby wouldn't turn. Keep trying everything you can in meantime but I'm glad you're looking at it positively. At least you know when he's coming now :)

    Being kicked about violently here. Had a bath to try and help my back and Little L was completely silent during that, I've since got out and he's now going mental....

    Why do they start up just before you go to bed?!Is this where sod's law started?

    I'm glad I'm not the only one being beaten up - he's being really quite violent tonight and appears to have figured out what fingers are for! Feels as though someone is pinching me from the inside - not to mention the elbows and rolling about like a mad thing! I'm quite aware he's getting short of space in there but really, he could give me a break at bedtime!

    ETA hkinsela, you've missed off the bottom of the list, link to birth story thread etc - could you edit it into your post?
