A little update from me!

Well after having a scan last thursday to confirm that my little munchkin was breech, I have been waiting for a referral to the foetal monitoring unit at Waikato Hospital. Midwife said they would call Friday. They didn't.

I saw my midwife today at my house as she wanted to check my BP. She told me that the referral would be soon as A) I am 10 days from my due date and footling breech babies are supposed to come out between 38-39 weeks and B) My BP is high so I am a priority case.

Well they didn't call today or tonight like she said they will, so I guess it will be tomorrow that they make an appointment for me to be assessed.

She said I would probably be having my c-section on either Friday or Monday!

I'm not keen on Monday as it's MILs birthday. I know if that's the date they give me then well that's the date they give me, but I won't be very impressed!

Getting a few niggly pains tonight. Am geting very impatient and annoyed that nothing is being done.

I know it's not long to go now, but still! I don't want to go into labour as it's dangerous for me to and I feel the closer I go to my due date, the more likely it is that my waters will break or I'll start having contractions!

So, just in case you were wondering when the next OHbaby will be delivered, I think it will be me, but it might be just a little bit longer!

Will let you all know when I have a confirmed delivery date

I'm definitely going to ring them tomorrow at lunchtime if they haven't called me. My midwife said it's not likely that I will go into labour but then again she doesn't know that for a fact and plenty of babies come 10 days early!

If that is the case I have to call an ambulance.

I'd put in a call to the mw tomorrow morning and see if there's anything she can do to make it either Friday or Tuesday.

Good luck for getting it sorted out today. Harrass them!!!

I hope everything gets sorted for you today and good luck for the main event.

I agree give them a call, and find out what the go is.
Friday is my son's birthday and Monday is mine! So I hope you get to have him before or after that... I know I would hate to have baby on MIL birthday too. Good luck

No

I just called my midwife (although I can NEVER get hold of her) and left a message on her answerphone

I guess I just have to wait a bit longer. I was hoping to be having this baby this week, as she said 39 weeks for breech births, but then yesterday she said next week. So I'll be 40 weeks then!

I have my 39 week appointment with her tomorrow so will have to ask her again what's going on!

Wow!! Best wishes for tomorrow!!!!

Yay i'm glad you got some answers. I know what you mean about being born on someones birthday (spec the MIL) I almost had that problem until the pre eclampsia took hold.

That's awesome Renee. Make sure you keep us posted sweetie!!!!!!
