Thanks for this. How do I make sure that what I buy from amazon is not fake:(? It's just too good to believe...sorry for the silly question:D...

You don't tend to get fakes from amazon hun it's not like eBay they are quite strict and monitor people selling as a business and you can normally buy it direct from Amazon themselves x

I haven't read much about breech babies as mine has been head down for the past few weeks but I think I would choose a section rather than ecv - I heard it's not very pleasant and can stress the baby.

I am in this situation and also have a friend who tried ecv first but it failed. Seems my hospital has a good rate of success. And I think I want to give it all the chance I can to avoid major surgery. That said if it can't be done or baby gets stressed then CS it will be. Think I would erather it that way round than be over due - induced - days in labour - baby distressed and CS then any ways.

Congratulations thrifty-gal on the birth of your baby boy.

Very quick post - sorry haven't had chance to read back.
Alexander was born on the 15th June after a 15 hour labour resulting in an instrument delivery. I can't say that the pain is forgotten or I'd be willing to do it again any time soon but the result was worth it He was 3.31kg and is beautiful (I know everyone thinks that of their baby but he has gorgeous deep blue eyes and lots of dark hair).

We only left the hospital yesterday as Alexander had a congenital infection so was in special care having antibiotics but all is well

Will hopefully read through again and give more details soon.
Hope all is well with everyone.

I think I'd rather opt for a section - my mum had 4 and a few of my friends also had sections and did not complain. My mum actually had two emergency sections and two elective ones and she says a section is much easier than natural labour! I think I'd prefer a section to forceps but I'm probably a bit weird!
