Hi All

Further update - tried earlier but the site was down.

Well OB confirmed we are still all go for Monday 12th, he did a scan to check the position of the baby and the placenta before the surgery and he said that even though she is head down she has not even moved into my pelvis as he thinks that her head is not in the correct position for this to happen. Basically if we hadn't gone the elective c/s route he would have probably recommended it to us now anyway as he doesn't think she has any chance of coming out normally. Also he advised that the placenta is also laying very low, luckily not over the cervix but still pretty low so another potential option for a c/s as well. It seems I was destined to go the c/s route no matter what.

What this also means is that even though I am getting contractions and discomfort there is little to no chance of it progressing further due to her positioning, so I now just have to tough it out until Monday, but at 6 more sleeps to go I suppose I have waited this long so a few more days isn't going to kill me.

BDT: I hope your scan went well today and that you can feel more confident about your colours and hit the shops.
