Still Not Engaging.

**jojo80** · September 1st, 2008, 07:44 PM

Hi saw OB today

. Bad news for me, Baby is nowhere near engaging

. Ob did'nt want to do an induction because it would be dangerous. Why cord prolapse?
He has booked me in to see him early Monday morning next week, after having seen me he make decide wether he'll do a ceaser on Monday afternoon or start an induction monday night.
He said it would depend on if JB engages or not.

AAAAHHHHHHHGGGGGGGG

Been told by my massage therapist cousin to hit a pressure point in the big toe to get things moving. She swears it works 100%. Wondering if it'll do the job would be great if it did

. I'd love to have things moving finaly.

What a stubborn little baby!! I would suggest going to see an Accupuncturist, that may help. Good luck and let us know how things go.

I think Bubba is a lazy sleepin like it's Daddy. It is in a posterior position too. Will any natural remidies cause a cord prolapse?

natural therapies may not work , i did accupuncture and homeopathy.. acc. did work to turn my baby the right way , but she still spun around and didnt engage .. homeopathy gave me loads of pre labour ctx .. and she came 9 days late all on her own after id given up trying every remedy out there...

i was in labour and 3cm doc said id be in over night as it was a vbac and 1st labour , and it would be a long one as she was not engaged .that was at 7 pm and she was born at 11;30pm ... so they could go head down any time ..

how many days will the ob let you go over ?? and have they done a scan to prove cord pro lapse?? and no natuarl therapies will not cause it , just get informed and make your own decision ... what would you rather ?? and how far overdue are you ?

I was due on the 25th Aug. no scan he is worried though.

Just remember that babies don't have to engage before labour, especially if it's your first baby.

WooooooHOOOOOO!!!!

I've been having contractions since 5am and they have been 5min apart since 8am. Getting really intense but not unmanageable. Do feel uncomfortable to sit though constant pain up my va jay jay and back is pretty sore too.
When should i go to hospital?
I called and they said no hard and fast rules, How does that help?

YAY Jo, that is fantastic hun. While you are coping stay at home. Stay at home as long as you possibly then and then some. Go for a shower or a bath and relax as much as you can. Try not to wear yourself out too much.

Maybe put on a DVD and watch that. Don't forget to eat and drink too. You may not feel like it now but your body will thank you for it later.

Goodluck huni and I can't wait to hear all about it
