Just another rant!
I feel really upset today. Most of you have read my post this week about having a scan and finding out my baby was big and in the wrong position.
I am really angry about the midwife who had been telling me for many weeks that my baby was fully engaged. Now I am being told that he isnt engaged and another said he is 3/5, and hes back to back. From what my old midwife said I should have an easy birth. Now I am being told I might not even give birth naturally. I can't believe this wasn't picked up earlier and I wasn't told this until 3 days overdue. I'm pissed off as well cos my new midwife who is very good (and got everything right as shown on the scan) was talking about induction early, she said the bigger he gets the harder it will be but consultant booked me in for term+9 which I think is ridiculous, if they were worried they should have kept me in.
I was feeling so positive about labour but now I feel like why should I bother if it's going to be so traumatic and prob end in emergency section. I just feel so angry and lied to. Whats worse is I wont even find out what's going on until my induction date. I really want another mw appointment for reassurance and advice if nothing else but at our dr's surgery the only day you can get a MW appointment is thursday.

i really feel 4 u it seems u have been messed around a bit!!!
i have been booked in 4 a induction for 40+1 which is ok i guess but i really wanted to go into labour naturally so im feeling a lil cheated esp since every doc midwife etc i have seen have said she is an average size baby god knows what the rush is????
try not to worry about the labour etc just try n think u will have ur baby soon xxx
Hope it goes well for you. Love Karys xxx
Try not to worry about it untill then, you can't do much over the bank holiday and the forcast is pretty good, so try and enjoy it.

Back to back isnt as bad as it sounds, would seem im prone to them!! my first and second were both back labours, i had them both naturally, jus would make the pain a lil more intense on your back rather than on the front, i had a mobile epidural for first child and did it with no pain relief at all on the second one!!
its not as bad as some peeps make it out to be!! i promise!
I'm sorry to hear your having such a bad time with your midwife and hospital!! Just wanted to hopefully reassure you a little.
My first 2 babies were both back to back, at the time there was no suggestion that they would deliver anyway but naturally. I think most people with babies in this position have epidurals so I surprised them by refusing one with both of my babies. My son was the biggest at 8lb 4 and I was quite small at the time!!
Good luck with whatever happens!!!! Take care
