Hiya, I wonder at 36 week appt will midwife try to understand the baby´s position? at my last 32 she could not really understand. Will she send for scan if she doesnt understand? AND i know I have narrow pelvic bone my gynecologist in my country said. I am not sure I am eligible for normal birth. What will happen?

Make Sure u make this clear to ur midwife and if u are really concerned then speak to ur consultant. .. ur midwife will be able to tell u who this is... and it should be on ur folder. .. if your midwife is not sure if baby is wrong way then u can have a scan to make sure

Hi if you are worried that midwife couldn't work out position of baby this time then I would have thought she would arrange a scan however im sure she will be able to feel position. Have you mentioned your worry about narrow pelvic bone at all during this pregnancy? If consultant or midwife are aware and haven't discussed c section or assisted birth then I would assume you will be able to deliver your baby x

I havent mentioned until this time. I waited until we start to speak about birth. At 36 week will there be a birth plan speaking?

Possibly I think every area is different....I didn't have birth plan chat with any of my pregnancies. I just wrote a few notes down eg skin to skin asap after birth etc nothing to detailed as midwife who delivers your baby will have to much to read instead of talking to you and keeping you and your baby monitored. Ask if there is a group that goes into detail about birth plans. Only thing ill say is keep an open mind about everything as you don't know how labour will be..just go with it x

If the midwife sends you for a scan it will be at the hospital you are booked under and it will be free. x
