  • StIll plenty of time for her to wriggle free hun, try not to worry. God it must be uncomfortable! I still remember dd getting her foot under my ribs - ouch! 

    You havent failed at all! You've already brought 5 beautiful babies into the world, soon to be 6. You've carried this one around with you every day for almost 9 months, the least you deserve is a nice quick, easy birth! Even if you do have to have a c-section (which I know is scary) its such a routine procedure, really nothing to be worried about and will be the safest yhing for your baby as you already know. Recovery will be hard with a newborn but no harder really than after a vaginal birth, just a little longer. I had a 3rd degree episiotomy with dd, walked away ( not literally, was in a w.chair lol) with 23 stitches, 11 outside and 12 internal. Mw said recovery from csection would have been easier! 

    This probably hasnt helped at all but I wish you the very very best of luck and hope you get the birth you want for your baby image xx

  • Have u tried bouncing on a birthing ball? That's quite good for getting babies head down. Or sitting facing the back of a chair n leaning forwards to help baby move a bit x

  • thank you ladies,i know how you feel bellasmummy i had 16 stiches in total with my first ouch .   mw said to sleep on my left side where her head is might make her move it and yes lots of bouncing on the ball which shes not to happy about as she moves loads after lol xx
