I am so sorry you had such an awful experience! I really dont remember it being so bad for me when I had it done, maybe this was because my baby wasnt engaged at all??? 
He didnt turn either. At least its over now and you know whats going to happen. How do you feel about the c-section. Why would they not give you an earlier date? It seems funny esp if they think your going to go into labour naturally a little earlier than your due date.
Poor Nathan,
It must be horrible to be going through this with him, I know I have said this already but I know how awful it is when my children are ill. Let alone having to go through something like he is. I hope he feels better soon.
thank goodness for mums!! Now sit back abit and take a break it sounds like baby might be here soon!! and what with the move, things going on with baby and nathan I think you, more than anyone, deserve it!!

Jolie, you had the same thing done?? I am glad you had a better experience. I don't know what they will do as far as scheduling a c section. When I talked with my doctor about it after the procedure, he said that he refuses to do a c section unless I am 39 weeks because he wants me make sure that the baby is ready. The nurse told me later that at that hospital a lot of scheduled c sections don't happen because the women usually don't make it until then. |
Yes I had the same thing done with my first son. he was breech and at 37 weeks they took me in to try to turn him. I was given an i.v to relax my musles. I was left for about half an hour I think, while it was left to work. My gynae then came in and put talc powder all over my stomach and pushed his head and bum to try and get him to move. It was uncomfortable but it really wasnt painful. Not that I can remember anyway, although as I said he wasn't engaged at all.
He tried for about 5-10 mins and towards the end it was only painful because I felt as if I had friction burns on my stomach were he had twisted my skin so much! I had to stay in the hospital to be monitered for an hour then was allowed to go home.
I made an date for a c-section before I left, I had that done the week after at 38 weeks.
It turns out he wouldnt turn because the plancenta was high in my stomach and his cord was extremely short, it was only 15 cms. They said it was lucky he was breech as we both may have got very ill if I had tried to deliver him naturally because the cord wouldnt have allowed him to come out!!
I imagine if baby has dropped then this would be more painful because they would have literally have had to try and lift your baby out of the pelvis first! They told me that if my son was engaged they wouldnt even bother to try. Breech babies apparently get quite wedged in the pelvis because of there butt and legs!!
As for after pains I got none, but they do say that a small percentage of women can go into labour afterwards!!! So maybe bryan might be here a little earlier than planned!
