Realistically baby can be head down for a while. My baby has been head down since 31 weeks.

Baby’s head can be down for ages, my sons was down from like 20 weeks if not earlier and he was still 4 days late haha

Could be tomorrow, next week or in 4 weeks unfortunately! It generally doesn't mean anything as some stay head down from 20 weeks say, and some don't even turn until delivery

My twins have both been head down since before 20 weeks. My first baby turned around 30 weeks and I didn’t have him till I was induced

My baby has been head down since before 20 weeks, so unfortunately head down isn’t really a good measure of how close you are to labor.

Baby had been head down for long long weeks until I found out I was dialing at 37 weeks she bounced back up and got comfy to stay in😂 take your time

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Period like cramps

Hi
I’m currently 33 weeks pregnant and I keep getting period like cramps I thought these were Brixton hicks but I’ve heard they only last 30 seconds ish as this can go on for a good time frame then go away and come back, they aren’t bad enough where I can’t do basic things they just feel like I’m about to get my period I’m jus wondering how normal this is? Baby is still very actively kicking xx

C section or natural?

I am a control freak and thinking c section is the least stressful route for me and baby… less complications during labour etc. whilst acknowledging recovering can be hard.
If it could be guaranteed no tearing or complications then I would opt for natural and kind of want to experience the feeling.
Then again could plan and go either way 😂 arghh!
Anyone else in this predicament?

Midwife check

Can someone remind me when the midwife visits you at home? Is it the day after you’re discharged? And is that the same on the weekend or do they not visit then? Thanks!

Owlet

Anyone else’s owlet pi##ing them off ?!?! It goes off 5/6 a night saying it can’t get a reading and needs a snug fit. My baby is 8 months old so moves a lot. It is driving me insane and I keep end up taking it off!!
