Been for the 4D scan. If I can I will post photos tomorrow - I have a CD of images so might be able to. Baby was an absolute star - showed his face the whole time. What was interesting though was, after telling the midwife on Wednesday that I thought baby's head was still under my ribs and she said no, that's the bottom and the head is down but off centre, it turns out that yes, the head is still under my ribs! The sonographer ever so casually remarked "You do know baby is breech?" Err...no! She recommended I phone the midwife straight away to let her know but I think it can probaby wait until my next appointment just after New Year.

Would love to see the 4d scan pics, I went to my SILs 4d scan and it was amazing.

Have you got a birthing ball, I used mine in the evenings just to watch tv and managed to turn my little girl from breech.

DS was breech and I was given a section. If he is still breech at 38 weeks they may invite you in for a section, so be prepared, just in case.

for goodness sake, pay an extra £1 off your credit card to get it below that £2000!!!!!

Have a good weekend, and if you are not on here between now and then, have a fabby Christmas with your feet up xx

HI, glad the scan went well and you got some good pics. Im looking forward to seeing them.

I've got a birthing ball - it's usually how I watch TV on a night as it's more comfortable than sitting! Wonder if I've inadvertently turned him the wrong way? Actually, he hasn't moved position in any scan, right down to having the same arm tucked beside his head. Obviously a very lazy boy.

Lol, I thought about that but I quite like having round numbers - I wold have had to have paid off £10 not £1!

Ah, long time yet before 38 weeks. I'm sure he will be born somehow, sooner or later.

Well done with getting the debt down so low! I can't wait to be in that position!

I hope that the baby turns around soon for you. That's one huge advantage of the 4d scan - at least you're a bit prepared for it. I have no idea how mine is lying at the moment!

I'm blaming you this, as I'm sure it would never have happened if I'd never heard of it - I've only gone and got flippin SPD! Over the past couple of weeks I've gradually had more and more pain in my 'lady-bones', until it got to the stage that I could barely move. Spoke to midwife who confirmed that it's almost certainly SPD, and have been referred for physio. Turning/moving in bed is the worst, as are stairs. Any tips greatly appreciated! I notice you havent mentioned it too much - is it really bothering you and you're just not moaning about it, or have you managed to land a fairly mild case of it?

Anyway, hope you all have a fabulous Christmas and that Santa brings you loads of chocolate!

Lol, I already posted about this on your diary. Some days it isn't too bad, some days it really really hurts.

Turning in bed is the worst for me too - I manage to make quite a performance out of it, but nearly as bad is getting in and out of the car, bath, going up and downstairs and standing up (after I've been stood a minute or so the pain subsides but when I first stand, ooooh!!). Also if I forget and try to put on trousers standing on one leg, instead of sitting down, ouch!!

It does seem to help by keeping my knees together and swivelling into the car and bed etc and also by not putting pressure on my feet - eg when I sit up I use my hands to push rather than putting weight on my legs. Other than that trying not to mention it too much - I feel like I am moaning and whinging enough at the minute anyway!
