Breech baby

Anyone else’s baby breech at 20 weeks? Hoping to flip baby over for my rescan in two weeks. Any suggestions?

Mine was at my anomaly scan. It’s nothing to worry about, there’s so much time left for them to turn around for when it really matters! It’s likely that your baby is in all kinds of different positions all day long, and they just happened to catch them on a breech day!

Sometimes cold drinks, sugary foods or doing a bit of jumping/wiggling around can help. I’ve had to do one or all of those at most of my scans.

My first son was transverse at a midwife appt around 32 weeks and even then they weren’t at all concerned. He moved head down by 35 weeks.

Yep mine was too, can I ask why they said you need a rescan? I was expecting one but then they never said I needed to.

baby was very active so not every measurement were achieved , baby was also upside down which made it even harder to get measurements on the heart

Yeah my baby was breech at 20 weeks but i havent had a rescan my next one is at 32 weeks due to me having a low lying placenta xx

Honestly it’s far too early to worry about your babies position. They have so much room they will be in all shapes until much later.

It’s so early to worry, my last baby was transverse until after 30 weeks but he turned on his own. They’ve still got loads of space to move. Xx

I had the same at my 20 weeks scan, they could see everything apart from his spine as he was laying on it. Re booked for 2 weeks later and was told to drink a full fat coke and eat a mars bar on the way to hospital!!! Did the trick as he was wriggling non stop and they could get the view they needed :)

Mine has been breach the whole time and I’m 22 weeks! Had scans at 6,12,16 & 20 weeks! Breach every scan so they’ve said as long as they turn by 36 weeks you will be fine! Xxx

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

I have a feeling like I might get attacked from this but I’m going to say it anyways. incognito 🥸 GLP1s being mainstream for regular people who are NOT diabetic or morbidly obese is bad for so many reasons 💉💉💉

Side affects, long term dependency, supply shortages and costs, regaining the weight back as soon as you get off them.. all that ASIDE how do people not see just from a zoomed out perspective how crazy it is. I can’t imagine being someone facing food insecurity in an underdeveloped country and watching westerners give themselves daily jabs so they can lose weight while still eating a calorie surplus/ crappy foods. It’s giving hunger games when district 12 Katniss finds out at the party at the capital that people eat and then take a pill to make themselves sick so they can 🤮 and eat some more. These ads running ozempic everywhere are disgusting, and then getting amazing athletes like Serena Williams to push them talking bout “i’ve never been healthier” girl you were an OLYMPIC athlete wym??

Getting pregnant after c section

When did you get pregnant again after a c section? Our plan was always to have 2 under 2 but that is now out the window because I had an emergency section. I know they say 18 months and we will be sticking to it (as much as I don’t want to) but I’m curious how quickly you got pregnant after your section?

Movements

I’m 28 weeks tomorrow. Yesterday I had loads and loads of movements but today I have only felt small flutters and a couple of kicks throughout the day. I get so confused as some people say they don’t have a pattern but others say they do. We have a Doppler so used it this evening and could hear the heartbeat and then moving but does anyone else get quieter days of movement than others? I am seeing my midwife tomorrow so will check but just find myself getting anxious about it and don’t know when to get checked. I know they encourage it but last time as soon as I got to triage baby started moving loads!

Tips for babies with wind issues

My 5 week old has always had issues bringing up all his wind. When he’s laying on his back, he’s always grunting in pain to the point he cries and wakes himself up.

Spoke with a qualified physio who’s also qualified in baby massage and she said try concentric circles on baby. Small circles with a little pressure on their right (your left when facing you) from the bottom of their tummy up to their ribs and then going to the other side and doing the same. Then do the usual leg exercises with them (bicycle kicks, air squats, rotating them side to side etc)

I’ve also found this really helps doing it on my LBs back. I either use my thumb or two fingers when he’s up against me. I do both sides from bottom to top in small circles. He moves around and makes the grunting noises when I first do it but burps come out and after about 4/5 times he stops moving around or grunting at all and it’s meant he’s actually slept on his back and not had to cosleep!
