Hi all,
I had a consultation at the hospital today regarding my wish for a planned c-section.
Planned c-sections are normally done in advance of the due date, to avoid the mother going into labor on her own accord, and this particular hospital normally schedules them for one week before due date.
With my original due date being the 18th, I now have a c-section date for 11.12.13 - what a cool date, eh?
It feels so real now!
I also had a scan and they reckon the baby is approx 3 and a half pounds now, which they said is right on target. Good strong heartbeat and very active too!
Sorry for messing up your list Fima - I should have posted earlier!0 -

* Had spotting at 20W + 6D (had mini scan done all was fine - just one of those things)
* Had anomaly scan at 21W (some of the long bones were measuring short of dates so was referred back for growth scan with consultant)
* Went for growth scan at 23W (things were starting to catch up but they said they'd keep an eye on things)
* Had spotting again at 27W + 3D (had mini scan done and again all is fine - just one of those things but if it happens again they'll admit me :-(
* Had test for gestational diabetes done on Thursday and my sugars are a bit high so I have to back on Wednesday for my glucose tolerance testing
* Had growth scan at 28W and all is fine. They are delighted with Bubs progress and unless I'm referred by the midwife I won't have to go back to the consultant again. Woohoo.
Sorry about the long winded post xx

Is anyone else still suffering from nausea? I am 31weeks on Wednesday and the nausea has never fully gone away. Between the nausea and my hormones, I think I am getting baby blues a few months early!:([/QUOTE]
I really hope your feeling somewhat better now,
Im sorry if its a stupid question i just know very little about c-sections, but why would you be out for the birth??Right Pregnant ladies, I threatened it and here it is, the list!

Hello lady:
I too have sciatica and my baby is breeched so does this mean not only will I be having a c-section, but that I will be out for the birth of the baby??Beltzar,
I did have some sciatica pains earlier in pregnancy but got massage (about 5 days in a row 10 mins each time) and it was gone until this week... It's back now so hard to sleep or turn in bed, sometimes I feel like am limping a bit :-/
I would not be too much worried yet about the baby being breach as they can turn around as late as only few hours before labour. Try to use the gym ball and go on your 4 a lot... It apparently gives the baby more space for turning around in there;-)
I would not think you would be out for section just because the baby is breach. I ended up having section on my first baba coz he was facial presentation and just got epudural;-)
Hi there,
having a breach baby increases your possibility of having a c-section. Most c-sections are conducted under a local anaesthetic (i.e an epidural). However, for some women with a history of back problems an epidural is contraindicated. It is not the drugs they give you, but the fact that they need to insert a canula into your back to administer the drugs. If you already have one of a certain list of back problems then inserting this needle is not recommended as it can cause further nerve damage. Not everyone with sciatica is prevented from having an epidural - it depends on the nature of your sciatica and if any other damage is present in the spine or nerves.
My issue is that I have a bulged disc and as a result I have damaged sciatic nerves. The problem for me is that if I have had a flare up within 10-14 days of the surgery, inserting a needle in my back carries a high risk of further irritating an already inflamed and aggrivated nerve. This can mean that after the epidural I would be in worse pain than ever and unable to walk without pain for a number of weeks. In this case, they would knock me out cold instead.
Another thing to consider if having an epidural for those of you with back problems, is that when the epidural takes effect, often you will then put your legs into positions that you would not normally be able to
! Because you can't feel anything below the belly button you don't realise you are straining yourself. Once the epidural wears off you end up stiff as a board and sometimes in agony because your back has been in what is an unnatural position for you. So it is recommended that anyone with back problems or range of movement problems make clear notes in their birth plan as to what is the maximum limit of movement they can achieve normally. Then when you get the epidural, your birth partner can make sure that you are not exceeding what you would normally be able to do.
Not everyone with sciatica will have these considerations. Many people get sciatica only in pregnancy and it is more to do with increased pressure on the lower back and nerves (similar to carpal tunnel). However if you have sciatica prior to pregnancy along with other back issues, most likely you will either be told to avoid an epidural or told to take extra good care of your back in the run up to delivery so that you can have one.
And as Elle13 rightly says, although your baby is breach now, there is a good chance she/he will turn before delivery and there are also ways that the midwives can 'encourage' baby to move. For me, its all to do with the twin thing again! :rolleyes: So far for every scan my babies have been breach/transverse or both transverse top to tail. Because there is less room for twins to move around as gestation progresses, there is little chance of 'encouraging' the first baby to move if she is breach/transverse. Given that my two seem to be creatures of habit already and always stick to one of two positions chances are a vaginal delivery will be unlikely. So I have always been prepared for the possibility of a c-section - I just always assumed I'd be awake for it. I really don't want to be asleep for the birth, so I am going to be so so so good at looking after my back from now until d-day!0 -

How are all the mammies?
I had an antenatal class yesterday, saw the dreaded labour ward in Limerick maternity. It was a quiet time so thankfully there was no mammies screaming/swearing the place down
All this talk of epidurals and sections is scaring the life out of me. I really want to do it as naturally as possible
*I am sure that statement is going to come back and bite me in the arse*
The midwife yesterday was talking about pethedine and how it helps to get some sleep but I have read that it effects milk production afterwards, has anyone else seen this? I do not want an epidural, the thought of getting a needle in my back actually makes me gag!!
I'm half afraid most of the time to tell people that I want to do it as naturally as possible and get the hell out of the hosp as soon as possible. I have only spoken to two people who have said to go for it and encouraged me (my friend & my mammy)
Anyway, my job for today is to tackle my bedroom, clear out 3 wardrobes of clothes I never wear and make room for baby and Moses Basket. I am considering moving the cot into our room when Baby grows out of Moses Basket. I had planned on putting he/she in their own room once they could not fit in basket but it's on track to be an 8 pounder so doubt Moses Basket will do for long.
Also washing all the curtains in the house while the weather is nice, although speaking of this weather its wrecking my head, it's too hot and I have nothing suitable to put on me, I wish it was cold and I could wrap up in huge jumpers and boots!0
