Stubborn baby šŸ˜…

Hi everyone!

I went to my second anatomy scan today. The first time around baby was on its own clock and again today….so, now I’ve been rebooked for a third. Has this happened to anyone else? I’ve drank juice, ate chocolate, did jumping jacks, walked lol…. all I possibly could. Does anyone have any tips to get baby to flip over in the womb for the technician? What worked for you? šŸ˜„

Thanks in advance! šŸ’•

You could try acupuncture? My office treated a lot of mommy’s that needed help to get their baby’s to move. It’s 1-2 treatments a week and the heat from a moxa stick helps stimulate the baby to move.

This happened to me, the third time I was referred to fetal medicine, the lady adjusted the bed back so I was tilted and told me to wiggle my hips and that finally done the trick, it was nothing to worry about it was just because she was in an awkward position and they couldn’t get pictures of her brain, I was sent on 2 walks around the hospital, eat snacks and fizzy all the same as youšŸ˜… x

Hehe.. chocolate always works for me. He kicks and jumps when I have a piece.
But my baby doesn't like to be told what to do. When he had his little hand in a fist the nurse tried to make him to open it, shook and wiggled my belly. So he decided to turn his back to us. 🤣🤣 Cheeky...

they’re so cheeky! You’re so lucky chocolate worked for you, Karolina! I had a whole bar of Kit Kat and ate some Lindt chocolates…but, baby said, ā€œnopeā€. 🤣

This happened at my 12 week appt. She was doing a headstand! I walked, ate, drank and didn’t work. Eventually the tech had me turn on my side and move my stomach to encourage her to get into position and it worked! 2.5 hr appt but I didn’t have to reschedule šŸ¤žšŸ¾ hope this helps !

I am going for my second one because she was down so low and they couldn’t see part of the heart and a few other things. I drank orange juice like two hours before, which was a mistake bc she wouldn’t stop moving and they couldn’t get the pictures šŸ˜‚ I’m hoping I won’t have to go back for a third! But on the other hand, you get to see baby again!

A different time of the day might help. Is there a time when your baby is usually more active?
Also eating a bit of candy right before might help.

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

Has anyone ever had pain in the bone at the bottom of the lady area?

How I can only describe it is I feel like I have a fracture or the bone is broken right at the bottom of my vagina bone obviously don’t think it’s to the extent but that’s how it feels. I had it in my last pregnancy and the pain went few months postpartum now it’s back again with this pregnancy. These are the results that u e googled I think I may have the first one has anyone every had this or something similar

Growth scan

So had my 28 week midwife appointment- all good but after measuring bump- I’m now waiting on a scan within a few days as bump is measuring small I’m not worried as I am guessing a tape measure is hardly accurate but
For anyone who has been in a similar position- what was the outcome after the scan? Was the baby on the smaller side ?
Was baby measuring normal?

Thanks
