Today I had to appointments at st Thomas I had an midwife at 11:00 am and at 12:00pm I had the turning of my baby. I got up this morning in a weird mood, as the leaflet about turning my baby mentioned it could stress my baby and that could result in an emergency c section. So I had to pack a small bag of essentials just in case. We got there at 10:45 to see the midwife they was really busy and only one was working. We was still there at 11:45am so I went up to the receptionist to explain I had to go down to have my baby turned in 15 mins I don’t want to be late what should I do ? She called down and they said they needed me to go down as it was a booked appointment. So she spoke to a midwife and the midwife just said re book me in for the 9th October. I was rather upset by this as I had questions to ask, and I needed some more milk syringes. As I have to hand express and store the sticky milk in my boobs.(gross I know sorry). I reluctantly went down with billy. Yet again he was not well bless him . We went down and it was packed , this made me really cross as I had missed my appointment with the midwife and looked like I had to wait long here. I quickly became tearful. But soon after a man doctor came out to me and called me in to scan me to see yet again if baby has moved. One guess nope he haven’t. So yes this meant the turning of baby. The man got me to sign a consent form , im still not sure what for. He then said this has a 40 to 50 % chance of working. I was nervous, he then said ill go in a room and have mine and baby heart monitored then some medicine to numb my tummy muscles. I was worried as I had had to go to the toilet a lot, and didn’t know how much I would be able to feel. The nurse gave me the medicine, by this time I was agitated and scared, the sun was in my eyes I had two idiot trainee nurses come in and ask me if they could watch. I felt reluctant to say yes. As soon as the medicine went in I became really tearful it stung and hurt and made all my body shake . I had this feeling and medicine. Then a lady came in to check the monitor she said its good and they could start the turning. She would have to help the man as one gets the head and one gets his bottom to move the baby. She could see I was upset and asked what was wrong this is a bad idea as I start crying more. I explained no one has spoken to me about this, so she explained a little then they started to move him it really hurt it was ripping my skin. The man was rougher. I also had the two trainees watching. I was squeezing poor billys hand I think I must have nearly broken it. Then they scanned me to see if he moved nope not an inch. They then checked our hear rates to see if we was distressed . Well mine was sky high but baby’s haven’t changed. They asked to try again I agreed. They tried going the other way. Yet again really hurt. Nope he still haven’t moved so they agreed to stop. The man explained I would need a c section as I cannot go into labour while baby is breech. So he went to book it in as I waited for the medicine to were off. Billy said that was gross my whole tummy turned sideways, he said it must have hurt. Yes he was right . The man came back and said he would be doing it and the date for the c section is the 12.11.10 . Billy made a joke all we need now is to have baby at 9 . We then left after a stressful day and got home.
Today was so painful ! Omg and the fact the turning of the baby didn't work made me so angry nothing was going right ! i guess i wont feel the pain of labor but this now means i wont get to go to my son in the Evelina straight away. Have you had a turning of your baby did it work? x
