for the ladies who are breech I think moxa is worth a try. I've got a bicornuate (heart shaped) uterus and am more likely to have a breech baby. I was speaking to my acupuncurist about it and she says moxa is incredibly effective in turning a breech baby. you can get your partner to do it for you too so it's easy to do at home, there is lots of info online. sorry your husband is not being supportive rj, if it helps convince him at all the lead midwife at my comunity team practices acupuncture and has written a paper on using moxa to turn breech babies so it is something the medical profession believe in (or some of them at least!). good luck!

Colli, I think that's what BB had to turn her baby and it worked.

Oh my god the list is moving too fast.

MrsBryan, my mum got married and my baby brother (as he was at the time, he's a teenage PITA now lol) wore a suit, shirt and waistcoat. He looked so cute. He wore it for the ceremony and photo's and then when we got back to the reception he was changed into something else.

I've received an appointment for a scan on the 13th July this morning. I've been booked in for one on the 11th July already though, but I remember when they booked me they said I was to go to the department which is where I had my 20 week scan, whereas the appointment I've received today says to go to the place they told me they do growth scans so I wonder if they have made a mix up. I've got my 2nd GTT on Monday so will ask them to clarify it then, just seems a little strange.

oh dear goodness - i had a wee mini heart attack looking at the list from yesterday as i was number 31 - but now i'm number 29 - could i please ask you lovely ladies to keep your legs crossed for a wee while i'm not sure i'm ready for this

Not as much as me! I've gone from 20's to teens now :eek: I am seriously not ready in any way shape or form! :eek::eek:

Any one got any links on how to do this moxa moxi thingimagigie. Would need to be able to do myself though as hubby will just look at me like I have gone loon tune and tell me where to go in not very polite terms.

Todays jobs: More laundry in the kitchen sink, Avoid killing myself on hubbys tools all over the kitchen floor, try carseat in car, put the pram back down (only practiced with this twice!!) , general tidy around and then paint the lilac in the nursery once more. (Pictures up of whats been done so far on facebook ... fyi.)

aida - i would definately recommend bio oil - have used it since week 14 and am now nearly 35 with no stretch marks - i usually buy it was amazon or ebay as much cheaper than the shops

re breach babies - i think my midwife said dont worry till you are 36 weeks and babies can still turn after this. i am 35 weeks monday and feeling baby change positions all the time, babies head normally in different positions throughout the day. when they get this big you can defiantely feel the hardness of the head.

please ladies who are worried about birth, try to chill about it because if you go into labour with negative ideas and being tense your labour is going to be harder. maybe try some hypnobirthing cds for relaxation. after reading this book i found myself feeling a lot more relaxed and not as scared about labour.

also write a birth plan it makes you feel in more control. i know you may need to be flexible with your birth wishes as things dont always go to plan.

just wondering what people are going to do re visitors after birth? if everything goes fine with my birth we are going to keep it to ourselves until i am out of hospital (which will hopefully be the next day) maybe then just family for the first few days and then friends afterwards.

yay to choclover, Mrs Manda and thirfygirl for their babies arriving :T

My cousin's baby as been breach most of the way. She's had him/her turned twice and twice baby's turned back. Then at somewhere between 39 and 40 weeks baby turned to be head down and also the head has engaged so don't give up hope ladies. Although I completely understand wanting to be prepared for all eventualities.
