Oblique lie at 36 weeks

Anyone experiencing or experienced an oblique lie at 36 weeks? He’s been head down since 32 weeks and now decided to shimmy his head to my right hip 🤦‍♀️ any recommendations on how to shift him back? I’m also hoping to have a home birth so now stressing I’ll be at more risk of needing a c-section 😮‍💨

Have a look on spinning babies 😊 it might help. X

thanks! Been recommended that by the midwife today so will give some of the exercises a go moving forward 🤞

Spinning babies is good. Have they offered you an ECV? It should be quite easy with an oblique lie. I’ve had an unstable lie from 36w until 38 + 6w. Baby was breech and I had a successful ECV at 36+5w but then baby decided to move all over the place and I ended up in hospital for a week due to the risk of cord prolapse! But has been head down now for 5 days so hoping they stay there 🤞🙏

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Hospital bag (UK)

What did everyone pack for their section? I'm staying in for 3 days due to mental health, not really sure what I'll need to bring, feeling very nervous. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.
