does stair climbing or ball bouncing help bub to engage? not sure what activity you are up for at the moment.
i actually read a birth story from a woman who was given similar advice and was in so much fear from it. When her waters broke, she called an ambulance and had her bum in the air when they came, wanted them to check where the cord was (they didn't know how) and so they made her walk out to the ambulance (she was ****ed at this) and then she rode all the way with her bum up in the air..... same at hospital until she could get someone to check. it was like a comedy, and was all a bit wierd.
I was given the same advice last pregnancy, its all about the cord prolapsing. Which you know, I understand it to be pretty high risk if the baby is still high and mobile and your waters break. So I'm not fearful of it happening, just good to be aware of it. She also went over infant resuscitation and I'm so glad that DH will be with me in case of an emergency and he's covered that part of his nursing degree!!!
I've got a pretty nice case of SPD happening so I can't go up stairs like normal people, I have to take them one at a time. I have a fit ball that I can bounce on though.
