Don't let them push you in to a C-section. Babies will still flip positions until like 35-36 weeks. You are way to early for them to be worried about babies position.

My son kept changing his position up until a week or two before he was born at 37+3. My midwife has always told me that if at 35 weeks baby is still breech then would try to flip him but he did it himself.

My baby was breech until my last appointment at 30w4d. I've been walking a lot, trying to improve my posture, and doing the spinning babies exercises like the one you mentioned. I was super excited that she turned, but my midwife said that she might turn back around a few more times before we're close to delivery. All that to say, a c-section isn't inevitable even if you're breech for a few more weeks, and sometimes it's just up to the baby to do its thing!

They can’t turn the baby for u?

manually turning babies should be last resort as it can be harmful and extremely painful. At 30 weeks that would be completely unnecessary since babies can still change positions daily until 35-36 weeks.

oh ok. I think the easiest would be the downwards dog Position but have ur knees on a sofa or a chair.

yes that’s what I told them I won’t allow them to give me a c-section because I’m petrified honestly and I really want him to turn I walk a lot too

Avatar

yes and see I’m 30 weeks and 2 days and I’ve been doing a lot of walking and moving around

I hate that doctors try to scare people in to unnecessary C-sections. You are so early still I don't know why they are even saying it yet. I'd be concerned if by 34-35 he isn't head down but until then don't stress on it!

Avatar

yea I explained that to my doctor but she said every time I come it’s the same so at 34 weeks they will try to turn him and if not I have to prepare for a c-section

Avatar

that's so odd, they seem just set on a C-section. I'd personally tell them that if by 36 weeks baby hasn't turned and manually turning doesn't work, then fine but I wouldn't let them push a C-section until 36 weeks and I've already exhausted all other options of turning baby

Crazy how different some doctors are. I had my appointment this morning (29 weeks) and she believes baby is breech right now but says there’s tons of time for baby to turn and definitely don’t worry about it right now

Avatar

yes I told her I’m giving it to 36 weeks. I’m not doing nothing before then.

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Pregnant with baby 2

Hi everyone! I gave birth via emergency c section 9 months ago as my baby boy was measuring big, he pooped inside so there was risk of him inhaling it and I wasn’t progressing past 3cm to have a natural birth and now I’m currently 20 weeks pregnant with my 2nd baby. I’m having a consultation on Tuesday to talk about birth options and to have any questions answered but I don’t know what to ask. I feel like it would be safer having a c section again but at the same time I don’t want a c section. Does anyone have any question ideas I could ask or any advice/stories of similar situations. Tia

Hey what are your current symptoms?

I’m 37+5

I’m pretty mobile still but anything over a hour or 2 and I’m in discomfort

Getting up from a sitting position is hard

Some of baby’s movements now are bordering on painful especially around my crotch/pelvis

I’m exhausted very easily and nap every single day

Can basically only breathe out my mouth now and I’m snoring and dribbling 😂

Standing in one leg is very painful 😂

Some waves of pain/ tightening but I regular and mild

Low period type aches

And I feel like a fire breathing dragon with this acid reflux

My nose is growing 😂

My fingers swell slightly and go numbs in my sleep so that and constant toilet breaks keep me up ( checked swelling with MW and consultant and all normal, not a worry)


I also do not want to be social in person like I’d rather everyone just be my penpal atm lol


What are your symptoms?
