My baby was head down at 30 weeks and then head up at 32 weeks. The OB said it’s okay and there’s still plenty of time for him to turn back around.

my ob didn't say anything and no growth scan. I'll be 35 weeks tomorrow. I didn’t know my baby was head down until I schedule a private ultrasound for 3d/4d this pass Friday.

i found out baby’s been head down since week 28, my midwife somehow knew after some poking around my belly. and i can tell baby hasn’t moved since cause i always feel the baby’s hiccups below the belly button

I found out at 36 weeks. That was the first time the doctors checked.

How did you guys find this out???

they should be able to tell by feeling your stomach or with an ultrasound. Usually they turn head down between 28-36 weeks. You should ask next time you see your OB!

OB should be able to feel or see with an ultrasound. Most babies turn between 28-36 weeks. If baby is still head up after 36 weeks, there’s some things you can do to try to get them to turn. You should ask your OB at your next appointment!

I haven’t had an ultrasound since 19 weeks. All they do when I go in is take my blood pressure, have me pee in a cup, check heartbeat and fundal height. And they say “looks good” no measurements, numbers or anything. Just assuming no news is good news 🤷‍♀️ I’ll have to ask.

Confused Over Test Result

My heads pretty blagged about this atm. I’ve had spotting & some cramping but of the 2 tests I’d have expected the clear blue one to be most accurate. Any advice?

Palpitations and out of breath

Anyone else dealing with heart palpitations and running out of breath super quickly?

I already spoke to my midwife, and they put me on magnesium and extra electrolytes and said if it doesn’t help, to tell them again. I have my next OB appointment on Tuesday and I plan on bringing it back up when I see her then, but I feel like my shortness of breath has just gotten increasingly worse and the dizziness is now off and on when I used to not get it before.

Anyone else has that experience?

I am 30 weeks on Wednesday (March 25) with a C-section scheduled for end of May.

SPPH (secondary postpartum haemorrhage) due to retained placenta -D&C?

Looking to see if anyone else has experienced this? Currently trying to pass retained tissue ( 4 weeks pp) and finding every day so exhausting just constantly waiting and checking my bleeding. I stopped bleeding on week 2.5/3 then bleeding picked up last Saturday and I haemorrhaged on Thursday morning with a rush to hospital. Everyday since I’m waking up scared I’ll be bleeding out. Worried to go toilet to check, I’m not convinced I’ll be passing it naturally and I’m worried I’ll need a D&C… has anyone had this? My retained tissue is 2cm so they said it’s small but I have no signs of passing it or blood changing colour to show slowing down.
