Hi Vic,

It is completely understandable that you dread the thought of having to stay in hospital and not being as mobile as you would like afterwards. It is so important to remember what it is all for though. You want to bring home a healthy baby and that may mean having to do things that you hadn't planned on.

For now, give some of the ideas that you have been given and we will all keep our fingers crossed that the little one turns for you Chick xx

Good Luck Honey xx

well Natalie, my second was breach and they didn't know right up until my waters broke! She popped out with no problems! The midwife afterwards said that had they known they'd almost certainly have done a c-section, especially as I am so small. glad I had a natural bitrth, but it goes to show that sometimes they do these ops when they don't need to!

I just remember the whole room suddenly filled with people so they could watch. One nurse gleely said, ooh it's my first breach (bit like Gretel siad It's my first party father, in the Sound of Music!). I felt like shouting back, yeah it's mine too - now BOG OFF!

You really must stop worrying about all the birth stuff hun, that little baby will come out when it's good and ready and whichever way it sees fit. There's nothing you can do to change it so RELAX!!!!! :hug:

Aw hun,it did me too,so much so that at seven months when i was admited,after they had checked he was ok they wanted to keep me in.

Stupidly,putting myself and my unborn baby at risk i discharged myself,i was lucky though.

When he was born at three in the mroning,they came round at nine thrity and said i could go home,we were both very comfy and Lee was off to wet the baby's head,so rather than deal with a new born and a drunken man behaving like one,i chose to stay in until the next morning.

I was so glad i had,not only did the nurses let me sleep all night,but it gave me time to get used to him,without others being there and wanting a turn.

In the end i was delighted i had stayed even though i had been crying for months at the thought of just setting foot in the place !

You will be fine hun,wether you stay in or not and wether you have a natural birth or a sectiion and wether the baby is breech or not.

Just try to relax chick...... while you still can :hug:

I had James 12th December... and let me reasure you.. its the busiest time of year for maternaty suites... they will want your bed as soon as possible.. so you will be going home as soon as you are physically fit lol! Normally within 4 days with a c-sec.

This happened to me too and with her being my first and only 18 it frightened the life out of me.

FOUR DAYS????

 

[Sassy Hassy]

Hope you don't mind me asking, but is it because of what happened to your granny that you are scared?

 

[Fingertips ND]

A bit of everything I think Sass!

Illness, being without Chris, being on my own with my first child right away, visiting hours are crap, wards are cramped.

Don't worry too much, as your baby could still turn round. :hug: My daughter was still breech at 38 weeks and she turned on her own. She was born at 42 weeks.

If it's any consolation what you are feeling is so normal. can we cope through the birth? can we cope with the baby afterwards? Will I ever be able to wear jeans again?!!! I bet if you asked every mum on here they will have felt the same nerves and anxiety as you. Babies have a habit of turning right at the last minute too.

When I had my first baby I had to stay in hospital for 7 days, because that was the done thing then . Now you're in and out quicker than you can say epidural! You've had so much to adapt to in such a short space of time that no wonder your head is spinning with it all. Just take time out to relax and make the most of the peace and quiet!

I feel really daft now!

You know from reading my journal that my head hasn't been in the right place recently and this just feels like another thing to worry about.

I used to be so independant but have become quite reliant on Chris since the panic attacks started and the weird feelings. Now I feel I need him there constantly as he's the only one who knows what's going on and he helps sort my head out. My mum doesn't even know.

My sister in law as just had a baby he too was breech and they did manage to turn him But she still ended up having a c-section for another reason she was only in hospital for 3 days and he was fine
First babies make you very scared and this is normal but the most important thing is getting your baby out and for him/her to be fine.
