Back from Melbourne again!!

Things looking good, bub still behind but now less than 3 weeks behind. In fact, the leg measured at just over 2 weeks behind. So, maybe bub is bigger than we think.
The bowel is a bit more dialated this time (10mm 2 weeks ago, and 12mm now). But we got told that its nothing to worry about.
I asked about the C/S and got told that its very unlikely that I'll need one...even with all the complications. But, here's where the OB contradicted herself... I asked about a C/S and she said that likelyhood of that happening was 'very unlikey'. Later on I mentioned that the baby was in breech and is there the option of turning the baby? I got told no.
I can't deliver a breech baby, but they won't turn it??? How does that work?? I didn't really think about what she'd said til we were on the way home.
I asked about consent forms. I know that when I booked in to have my baby at the local maternity hosp (an hour away), I had to sign all the consent forms for labour...to consent to a C/S, the use of forceps, etc. But, I got told (and I wasn't very happy) that ''by choosing to have your baby at the Royal Women's, you've given your consent".
My argument was that I didn't "choose" to have my baby there, I was sent there with no other option. I got told that that was irrelevant.
I'm also not very happy that it doesn't appear that I'll have to sign any consent forms for bub. They can just do whatever they want to him/her.

On the good side--we got lots of answers, and got told that bub is looking good for staying inside my tummy for another 4 weeks!! Yay!!
And bub weighs 2 pound 2. I'm happy about that!
Placenta still going, hasn't gotten any worse.
Fluid is good, I think it may be a bit low still, but its OK.
Got told to have an amnio again, but rejected it quickly. Again, its their argument that THEY want to know what they're dealing with and what they need to prepare for.

Had a tour of the Children's Neonatal Unit.
No where near as scary as I thought it would be. We were about to look at a couple of babies and see how Bub will be hooked up to drips, feeding tubes, etc.
They had no Gastroschisis babies in tho..

Alls good!!
