How lovely sunflower and hotdogz that you were able to see your baby again!
Babybeau: I could have written this post! Heart burns, under my ribs pains and even my sides of my butt hurt when I lie down...this is defo my hardest pg.
I'm hitting 40 next week so it must be old age for me!

Lol my hips ache too when I'm sleeping! I'm 35 but honestly feel 10 times older, always complaining about my back etc!!

Lavie I am 43 so I really think I am way too old for this. DH wants another baby. I have no desire right now. Sometimes I think he wants 5 since we lost ID twins in December 2012. It was so hard on both of us and still is. Part of the reason why I stayed team green this time bc I don't want to focus on gender just a healthy baby.
I have nausea (still) heartburn back ache and spd. Really? This baby is doing me in but I'm still grateful to be having another baby. I'm trying to enjoy it and not want to rush it but when you feel so awful it's so hard to enjoy!

This has by far been the worst pregnancy. My boys were easy. I never complained! This one I have been complaining a lot!! My pelvic bones hurt so bad when I walk. I never had that with the other 2! I keep saying it's cause I'm older. I'm 35 and I am done after this one! Hope everyone starts to feel better. We are in the home stretch now!

Its been hard for me too! Just off to get my blood pressure checked as I have been seeing floaters and back to being exhausted again!. I'm 36 and my last pregnancy I was 31 so think that makes a difference. I hear you guys I too want to be enjoying it but instead I am counting down the weeks ... Oh well time will fly! Xxx

My MIL said to me today that there will be 5 girls soon??!!?
Then my midwife basically implied that baby is another girl as the heartbeat was "really fast!" (154)
I wish people would leave me be to enjoy not having gd for once.

Babybeau: people are so insensitive!
I have a pretty shitty day too.
MW said I was going to have a giant baby as she measured me at 37 weeks (I'm 34) - how nice is that?
Then this afternoon I had a gynae appointment with a consultant who examined my pelvic floor as had a 3rd degree tear with my last baby. He's recommending a csection as he thinks this birth would b too much for my muscles and could have really damaging consequences for the future. I'm in shock as I have had 3 wonderful home births and really didn't expect that at all!
The decision is mine but I'm just feeling very confused on what to do...sections have their own risks too - I don't want to compromise my health either...
DH is out so have no one to talk it through... In need of a big hug ...

[Babybeaublue]

Oh no! A c section is not what you want to hear at all do you think it's as drastic as that?
Can't believe I'm almost in tears. I'd stayed so positive and then bang... hugs needed all round I think
Baby is also lying transverse. Joy.

i can't stop crying as I feel the power of giving birth myself is taken from me but of course I can't face a life of incontinence etc...would you take the risk? I am also thinking of microbinomes (any one watched Microbirth?), delayed cord clamping, skin to skin etc...
I will try to get referred for a second opinion and take it fom there...

[Babybeaublue]

Yes definitely speak to someone else. I really wanted a water birth so hoping baby moves into a better position.
