Todays antenatal appointment..

[OceanPrincess]

... I just told her to shut up, that I'd tried everything, she wasn't budging, and I was the one in labour, not her! lol She shut up about it after that

LOL

As the others have said about measurements - don't stress. They are notoriously unreliable!!!

Sounds like it's all going really well for you My second bub was posterior and nobody picked up on it until her little face appeared between my legs - I managed a completely natural labour with only a couple of puffs of gas to get me through the really hard bits, so you're very lucky that it's been picked up now. Bub has plenty of time to get into the right spot on her own, but the exercises definitely won't do any harm so go for it! Not sure what the mw's problem was, but sheesh... they know how to treat first-timers, don't they? You sound great, if measurements are all good then you have nothing to worry about. Not long to go now!! Hope you get a better m/w next appt and that everything continues to go great

Thanks heaps glam

I do have to say that i am glad she picked up on it now and not later on and i can do something to help move bubba in the right position.

I guess they forget what its like to be a first timer and if they dont word their sentences well we'll take things the wrong way and think somethings wrong..

like the others said try not to stress u'll be fine xoxoxox

FWIW jamie's head came out sideways not sure wat that means but it happened lol

sorry to hear that you have had a bad experience, they can sometimes be a little bit insensitive but in saying that some can be amazing!!

As for posterior labour, although i havent had a posterior delivery i know people who have and it hasnt been a great experience so if you can move bubba round that would be advisable, you may find that bubba might move round naturally but the later you get the harder it will be as there will be limited room for movement as i am sure you are already feeling!! Good luck and i am sure it will go smoothly.

Last time I was at the doc (with 7 weeks to go) they declared bub was mostly sideways (probably why I'm not at all uncomfortable) and that there's heaps of time to get em to move, don't worry about it, see you in 4 weeks, hang on you need anti-D, see you in 3 weeks!

I'm not sure how close you have to be for them to get really concerned.
