I have really struggled with a boys name but we have finally decided on Harry.
We are now struggling with a middle name!
We do like Lee but for certain reasons cannot go with it. Thought Harry Lee sounds great.
I think it may need to have one syllable or at least not have an S in it as our surname does.
Please can you come up with some suggestions. It's driving me mad!!
Many thanks. xx

To VBAC or not??!

I had my consultant appointment today and they are completely undecided as to what I should do!
I had a EMCS with my first who is now 3 because after an induction and 12 hours she was sideways on and I had not progressed enough.
They think this one is going to be a big baby as I am huge for dates so have a growth scan booked for the 12th but if it is just fluid and he is a normal size they say it is my decision!
I am so scared and really don't know what the right decision is. Part of me would like to try for a normal delivery but I am so scared that my wound will rupture. Also that I will get to the same stage as last time and it will end up as an EMCS again.
Any experience of any of this? Please help!

C Section

Posted: 03/09/2011 at 14:57
I had an emergency section with my first after being induced and a 12 hour labour.
It was fantastic!
No pain and the recovery was much better than I expected.
I think the worst thing of all is the first time you get up after the op as you feel like you have been split in two, to be fair though I had no pain relief at this point as I had chosen not to have morphine or anything. Once I was up and walking tho it was OK.
The hardest thing is feeling fine but knowing you have to be careful in the weeks after.
Don't get me wrong, it is major surgery but all for the good as u you are more concentrated on your new bundle in the weeks after than to really worry about yourself, lol!
My scar healed well. As for the weight thing, it started falling off afterward as I was breast feeding but when I stopped at 10 months it all went back on and more, lol! Nothing to do with the section tho I might add. Just my old friend Cadbury!!

Anyone else have an anterior placenta?

Posted: 17/07/2011 at 15:01
I have an anterior placenta and am now 22 weeks and although I'm feeling baby loads, it is all really low down near my bikin line despite the last scan showing he is way up by my belly button!
I know its because the feeling is cushioned but I'm just wondering if the placenta moves or do you start to get feelings in the front of the stomach and will I still be able to 'see' it and feel it on the outside?
This is my second pregnancy but the last one was 3 years ago and I didn't have an anterior one that time!

We're having a boy and I have shingles...

Posted: 15/07/2011 at 12:28
Had a private gender scan on Wednesday and we're having a boy!
I am getting used to the idea although he's a lot harder to buy clothes for than my daughter was at this stage!
Anyway, am getting used to the idea and was all up spirits then went to the docs thismorning because I have a pain in my leg and a rash and they have diagnosed me with shingles.
Beside myself with worry. The Doctor is getting back to me now as they don't know what to do!
Anyone have any experience of this?

20 week scan and bih head?

Posted: 03/07/2011 at 03:05
(Should say big!)
I am worrying myself silly at the moment.
My 20 week scan was all fine but the sonographer did mention at the beginning 'oh what a big head'.
The HC measurement is 176 which seems fairly average but the scan picture shows the baby to have a very large forehead.
Nothing was said again at the scan but I keep looking at the scan picture and it is very big and I am really worrying.

Any advice?

Everything I google mentions the HC measurement being large but mine is not, its just the look of the head, in several different positions and pictures.

Thanks. xx
