Not sure what happened

I am 39 weeks pregnant with my second child and haven't had my MS meds in 18 months due to doctor complications. In the last 2months I have been having what feels like seizures when baby flips from head down to breech. As of yesterday she is breech and completely facing the wrong way. Do I do the intensive flip procedure? Or just wait for the 16th to see if we get induced if she flips on her own or if she is still breech do the c section? I have already been through 3 hours of seizures this morning just from baby moving and my doctors are not concerned. Literally stuck in bed unable to stand. My 6 year old is a huge help with taking care of our dogs while I am down. My husband works 12 hours a day 7 days a week. He won't be able to be with me on the 16th and doesn't come to any of my appointments.

To each their own, but for my daughter, she was breech and we tried doing the intensive flip procedure and it didn’t help. Came to find out it was because she had the cord wrapped around her body (not in a life-threatening way thankfully) and she wasn’t able to turn around, so the procedure didn’t even really matter. Now, my situation was different to what you’re asking but consult your doctor. There are other complications that can come with that procedure too and it doesn’t always work, so you might be putting yourself through more intense pain and processes for it to maybe not help. It more depends on how set you are on a vaginal birth as compared to a c-section.

we did the flip. She didn't stay put to be induced so had to do a c section.

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!
