Today has been a very long day!! Went to the antenatal clinic, I was asked why I didn't want to do the ECV, I explained that I am worried about any problems and it does not feel right. He said there is only a 1% risk with an ECV, that I should not endure a c section if I can have a natural birth and that he feels I can have a natural birth.

He felt my son and said that he is laying transverse, his bottom is not in my pelvis as before and that it would not take much to move him head down. He talked me into it, I agreed. ( maybe all the moxibustion, spinning babies exercises etc freed his bum from my pelvis?!)

Booked my ECV for 2.30pm today, I had not eaten or drank since 10am, my partner came down to keep me company. We were getting tired, stressed and worried. I was getting horrible back pains and pressure on my groin area. My son was moving a bit, but not as much as he normally does. I was so hungry and tired and asked if I could have some water, nope, because I am having an ECV and I have to wait for a free bed.


we didn't get seen for our appointment until 5pm. The consultant came, felt my stomach and said " He has moved head down!!" so out came the scan machine and sure enough my son head is 3/5th in my pelvis now! So happy, after refusing to move in any position but breech and transverse, and having his bum wedged in my pelvis, it was amazing at the 11th hour he moved head down!

so in between seeing the doctor in the morning to the appointment in the afternoon, my son obviously got wind that mummy was starving him and was about to do something that will rock his little world and decided to get his head in position! I am so happy! I was worried because when the consultant was just feeling my pelvis, it bloody hurt so I thought there was no way I could cope with the pain of an ECV but luckily I didnt need one.

They are making me come in every week for a scan to ensure he remains in the head down position, I have been eating pineapple, curry and bouncing on my ball tonight to try and induce labour and get him to stay.


THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR WELL WISHES, I AM SURE THEY HELPED!!


Now, just got labour to get through!! xx

Thank you ladies!! The other half was in shock after expecting to have to sit there and watch me and bump undergo a ECV, he was pretty much dumbfounded and asked the consultant a few time if he was sure! Even the midwives came in and congratulated us! I think my little man is a mischief maker rather than a thoughtful little boy!

Now everyone keeps asking me if baby is here yet....I am trying!! I felt quick sick after the curry, pineapple, and bouncing on my swiss ball last night:-S Think I shall just stick to walking everywhere.......

Hi there, I sympathise, I had a c-section when it was discovered my daughter was breech unfortunately they'd already begun inducing me! Anyway, try reflexolgy - i hear it has great results and really can turn the baby without causing you or the baby any distress.


I can recommend Katie Sedgewick in East Dulwich. She specialises in pregnancy and fertility reflexology. You should find her online if not i can dig out her number.


Good luck.

Dear KSTherapy,


Yes, Neals Yard with all of its pretty bottles. I have read a lot about them online over the last few months.


Congratulations HeidiHi, the most natural and safe thing of all will always be to let your body sort it out. Your pelvis is constructed to encourage a baby to exit by the preferred route. We are great at reproducing. If there are concerns and worries about issues such as breech, it is best to to chat with your obstetrician and midwife.

I had acupuncture just before becoming pregnant from a lovely local woman called tracy goulding - [www.essentialtherapia.com] - she works at a practice on crystal palace road and sometimes from home. I can't recommend her highly enough, less expensive than others (e.g. at the vale practice, tho angelo is also very nice) and just generally warm yet professional. If you read about acupuncture generally (just google it and you'll find lots of info and articles) it can be useful for all sorts of things, including turning a breech baby, I assume by the stimulus tho acupuncturist will obviously explain how & why. I think you can only use this as a treatment late on so you should be fine in terms of time. Good luck!

    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge". 
    • Can’t imagine what it must be like you have your doorbell rung harshly.
    • Hi all, Wondering if anyone else in/around SE22 is also having the unfortunate luck of having Evri parcels delivered by a very rude individual? Whenever we have parcels delivered, our front gate is being slammed open and closed, ring doorbell is harshly banged (not pressed) followed by simultaneously banging on the door knocker and slamming the letter box multiple times. Someone is normally home by the time they come in the evening and never has to wait long for an answer. If we’re not home, we speak to them on the doorbell so we do find the actions of this individual unreasonable and rude.  We have tried a couple of times politely asking that they not do this but they are very dismissive and gives a passive-aggressive “have a nice day” reply.  Has anyone been able to contact Evri and successfully had any issues similar to this resolved? We have enough evidence through our doorbell footage but we are lost with what else we can do. We’ve tried asking politely but don’t want our gate or door damaged by someone who simply doesn’t care and lacks basic manners.    If anyone else is having this issue or has any advice on how we can report this, it would be much appreciated. After another dismissive reply to my concern this afternoon, I will be calling Evri tomorrow to raise a complaint. I have lost my patience with them
