Hi, I would avoid the C-section if possible also, I have had 2 posterior labours yes they are more painfull but better than a c-section recovery, I have been told that many babies go to that position because they have more room to move, I also think that it delays labour and you may go overdue, but many babies do anyway, only of concern if movement are lessing and you can be monitered if need be.
Best of luck don't rush into anything, a few more days won't hurt....
Hi Guys Back at mum's Yay a Normal house! ours is a s*^t heap as we are still renovating. Anyway thanks for all your advise, I've decided the only way i'm going to have a c-section is if Jellybean or i are in danger otherwise it's coming out my va jay jay.
Hey JoJo, sending you loads of labour vibes
I'd be asking the OB for explanations all the way too. Like when you say, 'he doesn't think Jellybean will make progress in engaging...' why is that?
Ah, I'll be hoping your little one makes an appearance before you have to make any of those decisions Take care of yourself.
Snacks, thanks for the labour vibes, think they helped. My plug fell out today at around 1:30 PM been getting tightening and light pain. I'm not sure whats happening.
I can feel JB moving lots and when it does sometimes it hurts. can anyone shed some light?
The plug was huge and i had mucusy stringy stuff before and after it fell out.
Hooray! It certainly does sound like Jelly bean might be making his/her presence felt! If your plug has come loose, that means that your cervix is ripening - see, it CAN happen naturally for you! All the more reason for you to stick to your guns.
From memory, those first pains were really distracting and very exciting. But, if you're after some advice (LOL, sorry, I'm going to give it to you anyway ) do try to rest while they're not too painful. And don't forget to eat and drink. Maybe if you're not able to rest, do a little bit of walking or bouncing if you've got a fitball.
Your little Jellybean will be here very soon!!!
ETA: sorry to sound like a know-all - I'm just very excited for you
Jojo, you can loose your plug sometimes weeks before labour begins. However, given that you are already due you won't be waiting that long
Your plug comes out as a result of your cervix thinning out/effacing and from dilating a little. Your cervix may feel a little tender as it is opening up which is why the movements from bub may be uncomfortable down there.
If the tightenings become too uncomfortable have yourself a nice warm bath. Stay at home as long as possible, it's the best place for you to be.
Wooohooooo!!!! Yay i'm going to meet my bubba soon.
I'm not sure if it's contractions though cause the tightening only hurts if JB is moving. Had a little back pain and some pain between my legs like i've been walking on a log and fallen with one leg on each side. Had some cervical pain also. JB is moving heaps, i thought movement lessens as labor approaches?
