breech baby

my doctor just argued with me over the dumbest thing. i’m 36+2 weeks today and i asked her out of curiosity when they start taking a plan of action for breech babies, wether that be ecv or c-section. she instantly snapped back at me and said “there’s better things to worry about, his college fund, his first girlfriend all that stuff.” shawty what? i just want to know what *your* plans are for *my* body?? then she was like “why do you even want ecv? it’s very dangerous and i wouldn’t recommend it to my own daughter.” i just said “honestly i’m just curious as to what your plans are for me and my baby. usually at 37 weeks is when these plans happen so i want to be prepared before i have to make a decision” and she got frustrated and said the c section would be at 39 weeks if i needed one. dodged my question entirely🫡 why is it wrong that i want to be as informed as possible

What the actual fuck?? I’m sorry you have to deal with that!! How unprofessional of her!

Ew I hate everything about this interaction! That’s horrible bedside manner!!!!

Can you see a different doctor at the same office?

fire her.

I'd request a different doctor if you office has one. No time for negligence

Fire her. Go and see a different doctor in the same office. That’s probably an option. What’s wrong with her?!?!

Baby the way I would have cursed her out

I had my OB appt at 36 weeks and my doc was all over scheduling me for C-section. She did express the concerns when it comes to ECV vs C-section but was very respectful of it being my decision.

I opted to schedule c-section this past Wednesday and began crawling forward/backwards, doing cow/cat pose and placing feet on bed and leaning arms to the floor with head down to let gravity do it’s thing.

Today I had an NST and baby is facing down and in position. My doc mentioned they will keep the C-section appt in case he flips again but if all goes well the C-section just gets cancelled. She did mentioned it’s best to have a plan in place than trying to schedule for C-section at 39 wks.

Talk about some weird suggestions for things to worry about as a person 37 weeks pregnant. I’d start seeing a different doctor if you can…

best case scenario i would just give birth breech vaginally, but none of the doctors in my area are comfortable with that, and if they aren’t comfortable that makes me think they don’t have much experience with it. i know what to do but with this being my first baby i’m either gonna have to convince him to flip or get a c section because i’m too nervous to homebirth unassisted atp🤷‍♀️

i was shaking trying not to these late pregnancy hormones have me on the edge of my seat😭😂

When you go to labor and delivery request SHE NOT BE THERE. they will give you another doctor

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??

Planned c section

Has anyone had a planned c section and been home the same day?

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!
