You are doing a fabulous job joel's girl, keep the small miletones in mind and it makes the bigger one's easier to achieve, it is a difficult road being on bed rest and even more difficult being in hospital on bed rest.
Every day counts and at least you will know you have done everything to get as far as possible
Take care xxoo
I have made it to 37weeks finally. Bubs had been behaving and was head down from 35 weeks so I was released from hospital. I had an OB appt on tuesday and confirmed good position and induction on 25/10 was booked. Had to go back to for internal (S & S) and to firm up game plan for monday and guess what......
He is breech again, so sometime in the past 72hrs the little tike has done a 180 in his olympic sized swimming pool. Great, way to throw a spanner in the works mate !!
So do I wait and see if he turns, or accept the OB's offer to perform an ECV to turn him then continue with the induction via ARM / syntic drip. Obviously if the ECV is unsuccessful then induction will be cancelled. I would then wait a further amount of time to see if he turns before they would want to schedule a c-section.
Bugger - It seems like alot of intervention but I really do not want a c-section if I can avoid it. Also back to all the concerns of cord prolaspe etc
Wooooo Hoooooo for getting to 37 weeks, what a fabulous job you have done
for him being breech, I can suggest a few things to try if you have time - the bonus is with all the extra fluid he can easily turn back
Spinning Babies is a great website with lots of suggestions for turning a breech bub
Seek a Traditional Chinese Medicine Therapist, we have one here on BB in the Professional Support Pannel (part of the Platinum Membership) and I think he is based in NSW, he would be able to do Moxibustion, Accupuncture to try and assist bub turning as well.
I have two attempts at an ECV done at 28 weeks and we did manage to turn Anastasia further around, but she chose to turn back and after that my AFI levels dropped and in the end I had no AF left It is uncomfortable, it can bring on Contractions and stir up your uterus.
It does does sound like a lot of intervention, but I would go for the ECV over the CS I tried it all with Anastasia, in the end it wasn't to be and at least I know I tried everything.
Thanks Beema - I will have a look at spinning babies. I have been rocking on all fours a fair bit since seeing the OB. Considering using a neighbours pool to do some hand stands in but it's not quite warm enough here for that - I'll see if I can be brave enough to do that today perhaps.
I will try to arrange some more accupuncture and moxibustion. I had some at about 32 weeks which worked a treat. Thanks for the support. I was so looking forward to meeting my little man on MOnday but now it's all up in the air. I want to feel positive about it all again.
