Hope things are moving along for you now TC!
Singale, an anterior placenta doesn't necessarily mean the baby will be positioned awkwardly, but it can increase the chances, because the baby is a bit more likely to be facing the placenta which would place them in a back to back position. So then they have to turn before birth and often that can mean extra contractions which will force them to turn. But obviously it doesn't always happen, just a bit more likely that's all. At least, that's what I read on the spinning babies website. But as I understand it the placenta moves around throughout the pregnancy so it's by the by! Glad to hear all was well with the scan anyway.
I'm still feeling a big mixture of emotions with this pg. On the one hand I'm accepting it's happening and I'm trying to be practical about it, look after myself etc. But on the other hand I'm still completely freaked out by the situation. I've tried writing on FC but I keep deleting the posts. I don't think I really feel comfortable talking about my situation. But this about sums it up: DH and I decided to divorce, DH changes mind, I still want divorce, I get pregnant, DH starts being all nice and good even though he doesn't know I'm pg, hormones take over, now I'm stuck in a big dilemma. That's about it without any details. He's in France now for a few weeks so at least I have some space without the pressure of having to tell him or him finding out. Of course he'll find out probably when he gets home, it's just nice to not have to face that yet.
*sigh* getting pregnant should be a happy and celebratory thing. I want to feel excited and happy. Pregnancy and having babies for me has always been something stressful and unpleasant, although of course I love my babies and they bring me lots of happiness. But the situation of having them is always so difficult and unhappy. It makes me feel very sad.
I think that's enough melancholy for now! The kids are being telepathic at the moment, with S saying she thinks I should have another baby and she wants a brother, then yesterday they were both playing a game where they stuffed teddies up their tops and pretended they were having babies. I haven't told them anything about my pg!
