iluvmy4sons- congrats on your sweet little baby <3
To the ladies awaiting labor i hope it happens soon! I totally understand not wanting the induction and such. I went nearly 42 weeks with DS1. The doctors pressured me but i knew i wanted a natural birth and all was healthy so i waited it out...honeslty im really glad i did bc he was born face up and it was a long hard birth, but i firmly believe if i would have gone the induction route it would have ended in CS.
RE: babys that hate the carseat - DS2 HATED his! He would scream the entire time. It took many months but finally we ended up getting new carseats (need a way to fit three RFing across the back of a prius so had to purchase the radian XRT) and he is now a happy little camper (most of the time!). I thought his orginal carseat looked comfortable, but i guess not!
AFM, im 35 weeks. We *finally* are holding steady on a name (you wouldn't believe how many times we've changed it lol). Baby is STILL transverse (sideways). Ive done every logical and every nutty thing you can possibly think up to get her to flip and it's just not happening. Sigh. Was hoping for one last HB. ...maybe she will still flip, idk, but i have a consult on Monday with an OBGYN to discuss options (i was planning a second HB). So it's a major change of plans..however, amazingly i am at peace if CS has to result...which if you know me, you wouldn't think that would happen as im such a crunchy natural birther, but this time...something just feels off, i dont know what. and im not worried, but i feel like CS it will be (due to her position) but then i have a feeling they will say "oh yeah, she is deeply tangled in her short cord and couldn't get herself unravealed" ...or something like that. So im at peace about a planned CS. (though still holding out she will flip by 37 weeks and i'll get my last vaginal birth) Im going to ask about a "family friendly CS" (or "natural CS") and see what they can do...would love delayed cord clamping, but dont know if thats possible. Things are not set in stone. Im hoping she goes head down, but if not im glad to have my ducks in a row and my mindset positive about the drastic change of plans.
DH has healed well from the snip snip. And im ready to have this baby and move on with life :D Can't wait!
