37+2 also as of today, I have an appointment with my consultant on wednesday though to see if I can have an induction before my pelvis litrally snaps in half, part of me wants one so the pain will end (well I hope) whilst the other half doesn't want to force the baby to come out when she isn't ready so I'm in two minds at the moment about what to do, I guess even if I wait it shouldn't be much longer

yeah its hard isnt it, you want to do whats best for your LO but you also have to consider how you feel too, have they given u what baby's estimated birth weight is??

Nope, I had a scan at 32 weeks and they said she was around 4lb1 then but I don't know now, I was only 5lb14 when I was born but my OH was 9lb so who knows what she will be by the time shes ready, I know your scared hon but you have to try and think positive, as people have said c-sections are not the easier option and you tend to suffer more afterwards, best thing to do is speak about your fears as that could be all it is, trust me i'm terrified as its my first so I know exactly how you feel about it

hopefully after i see the consultant i might feel a bit better depending on what he/she says, i dont want a c-sec any more than i want to give birth but she got in and now she gotta come out !!! i cant explain what it is that makes me feel so coz i went in with my friend on both hers, 1st was a natural delivery ( i saw him crown) and the other was a c-sec i saw them lift her out.... and i never even burped now when i think about it i seriously have to be nr a bathroom otherwise im like a mobile vomit comet

It will be ok hun, just try and relax, hopefully you will feel better once you speak to your consultant

thnx for the encouragement jazzy, and same back to you hun if your feeling a little nervouse. just posted my pregnancy journal over on pregnancy in general and re reading it i think its just the let down and horrible attitude from my midwives thats made me feel this scared, if u fancy a read and see what you think ( not that im pushing or anything lol)

p.s my mistake its pregnancy club not pregnancy in general that ive posted in oopps lol

I'l have a read now sweetie, and no worries, thats what we are all here for, to be supportive to each other *hugs*

Av still got months to go but i am shittin meself of labour. can you just ask for a c-section i didnt know you could do that like

you can ask to see a consultant and talk through with them your reasons for wanting one, and if they think that a c-section would benifit you then they will give the go ahead, but ive been told it has to be a feesable reason ie. physically cant or emotional not strong enough i dont think they do it if its just to get out of giving birth naturally .... ill post what my consultant says on here for you if you like (if i ever get a blooming appointment ive only got 2 weeks left till i pop!!) are you nervouse too??
