Thanks hun, that makes sense and what I am going to look out for, so far have only had the occassional cramp, but never anything that has alterted me to call my OB or go into hospital.
My OB attempted an ECV because I have a septate uterus, which means there is a division/wall down the centre of my uterus towards the cervix, generally with this uterine abnormality an ECV is not an option, because there isn't the ability to turn the baby and ECV's aren't generally attempted until about 36 weeks or so, which would be impossible at that stage of pregnancy. In this situation bubs have to turn either facing your front or back.
At this weeks appointment my fluid levels had made a sharp rise (after being low for many weeks) and baby had shifted into a frank breech rather than footling, so there was an opportunity to try and spin baby now while there was a bit more room, we did achieve success but baby chose to go straight back after both attemps.
Also at having DD at 33 weeks, with no warning following PPROM and a very quick delivery, possiblly due to IC (Incompentent Cervix) which is being monitored, we want bub celphic as soon as we can if possible. I had no cramping, just back pain and was 7-8cm on arrival in the delivery suite.
