Congrats on your little man huds, I bet you're over the moon.

I had the ecv yesterday. It hurt like anything and was unsuccessful. If I don't spontaneously go into labor I'll end up with a csection. This is because they are worried about his health as it is and believe that an induction would be too tough on him. I have a scan on Monday and then review straight after and a growth scan on Wednesday. If he's stopped growing they will want him out, so a csection. I'm a little nervous but I just want my baby out safely. Anyway that's me in a but shell. Can't type too much coz of silly carpal tunnel.

sorry it wasn't successful mini, I never had a csection but I always thought that if the dr said we need to do one well then we need to do one and I would deal with it. In the end we just want our babies to be healthy no matter how they come out

He's cute...I can't wait to see mine.
Tell me more about a section... I've only had natural and I think the unknown is scaring me, particularly with 4 kids...

My recommendations would be to request skin to skin and breast feeding in theatre while they are stitching you back up. For me the worst bit is going to recovery after while DH goes back to the wards with baby. But this is not the case in all countries.

I would recommend getting a support wrap as it does make things easier. Especially when a toddler is climbing all over you.

Take all the pain meds you can for the 1st week or so.

Have someone around to help for the 1st week after you come home

As regards lifting. Treat your body like you are still heavily pregnant. In other words don't pick up your toddler

Rest as much as possible but also keep active. I have been taking short walks since I came home. Increasing the amount of time each day.

mini-sorry it didn't worked! I also had a c/s with DD3 and she was a preemie baby so they took her away and I only saw her next day for a couple min. they took her in a different hospital so she only BF some days after birth and she did good anyway.
The walking was little hard after c/s for some days , that's it.
hopefully your baby is ok and he turns.

pearl- your baby is super cute!!!

Thanks Flava. I certainly think so. The 3 of us are so in love with. DD has to go and give him a kiss 1st thing every morning and she is afraid that any of our visitors might take him home with them.

I felt the same way, you better start believing it though he will be here before you know it, I can't even believe my little man is already 7 1/2 months old I feel like I just had him
