Fran79, glad to hear that all is going well and that you had a relatively speedy hospital visit.
DollyB, welcome back!
It's so warm today! At least now the rain has started it should cool off a bit, but wow! Been feeling like a giant sweaty thing all day.
Baby has still been doing plenty of moving around, which is good, just hope that next Tuesday morning it's halted with the head in the correct place for my midwife visit.
Hope everyone is doing really well, only a couple of weeks (if even) for some of you now

Playing guess the baby part is always fun The best way to decide the head v bum question is whether when you push gently on it bobs independently or most of the baby moves.
Thanks elaney, hope that baby is being co-operative for you. Oblique or transverse seem to be the worst possible positions - making vaginal birth impossible. Even breech wouldn't be as bad. Over the shock now and just trying to focus on what I can do to try to help resolve it.
Squiggs - can you explain further how you'd know head from the bum? I still think my baby is breech, as really dont know if it's head or bum sticking up high. So if it bops independently then it's the head, and if all baby moves it's the bum, that right?
And sorry to hear your baby has turned squigs. Hopefully by Tuesday they'll be in the right position! I have my next apt on Weds, so I'm hoping baby will be right position then too.
Sunshine - I definitely aint nesting either, but then I've two weeks left of work yet. Oh roll on mat leave!
Vel - I saw sunday's From here to maternity programme too. I don't know - I think I would have preferred the possibility of turning baby externally, even if it was going to be uncomfortable, rather than section. I found her husband to be very chauvinistic & he didnt really seem to care how the birth would affect his wife. Just 'get them out nice and quick' was his way of thinking... Bit of a pig if you ask me0 -
jeeney, that's pretty much it in a nutshell, also the bum is softer and depending on how the baby is lying you might feel legs running off it.
I've been doing forward leaning inversions (advised by the spinningbabies website for getting oblique baby in the right place) twice a day with the help of my lovely husband and am no longer feeling the left hip discomfort that I was so I think baby is now in a better position. Anyway, only 34+4 so still plenty of time. The inversions have also really helped relieve the back pain I was feeling and I waddle less since starting them so going to keep them up.
Babies have been known to turn right at the very last minute, even during labour. I watched a couple of videos of External Cephalic Version (ECV) to turn a breach baby and it doesn't look too bad, would prefer to try that than automatically opt for a section I think.
Hope everything will be fine for you jeeney and baby is being co-operative
Some of those fathers on One Born would make you wonder why the mother let him get close enough to make her pregnant! :rolleyes:0 -

Im not bothered if i don't end up going but my mum wants me to. Like you Jeeney i will play it by ear. That is a big journey to a wedding Inishowen Lady make sure you bring your bag if you go. My neighbour went away for a weekend at 35 weeks and ended up having her baby in the nearest hospital she never thought to bring her bag. Baby is head down thank God well thats what doc says so hopefully he is right. I have gastroenteritus ( cant spell that) so couldn't eat till this morning i was starving. My bp is up but not too bad yet they will keep an eye on it. Good luck squiggler with the check up hopefully baby has turned. 0

Thanks for thinking of us this morning jeeney and elaney.
Baby has turned and now we think it's breech
But he or she has been turning somersaults when in the mood, I had a catherine wheel of hiccoughs spinning in my belly one of the days last week! Midwife isn't panicking and there is still plenty of time, but it would be nice if baby would engage and settle. Back in with her again next Wednesday and waiting for a call at some stage today to let me know whether they're happy for us to wait until then to get a scan done or they'd prefer it sooner.
Hope everything is where it should be for you jeeney and your appointment goes well.
Wedding girls, you have my sympathy. Went to the funeral of a friend's Mum a few weeks ago and it wasn't easy even then, wouldn't like to be going anywhere now. And at least for a funeral clothes are easy!
Hope you're all keeping well and feeling good. The humidity is tough to deal with, I'd be going crazy if we didn't have a fan running in the bedroom all night to keep us cool.0 -

Aw sorry to hear baby has turned again squigs. Sounds like your little one is doing a hell of a lot of movement lately.. At least you're getting plenty of apts with your midwife and you'll know within a week where baby is at. They may well have turned again by then! I'll have my apt tomor (36 wks now), and prob will be seen again at 38 wks hopefully, with doc in between.
Ah sunshine, hope you get to enjoy the wedding even if you can't get some sparkly shoes! But as squigs said, sparkly flip flops might do the trick and may look nicer than pumps....0 -

Aw, thanks girls. We're trying not to worry too much and I'll keep doing exercises to encourage baby to move, but the midwife said today that if baby is still breach next week we'll have to go to the hospital and schedule a 38 week section. We were hoping that we wouldn't have to deal with that until we'd reached 37 or 38 weeks, not at 36
Yes, certainly getting enough check ups! It's great though, I schedule them for early morning, get my normal bus and am in work after by 9.30 at the very latest! Another reason I want to put off the hospital as long as possible. The thought of going from that to difficult to get to, standing around in queues, more standing around and maybe getting out of there in 3 or 4 hours really doesn't appeal. :P0 -
