Baby positioning

Is anybody’s baby head down yet? If so how many weeks are you and did you have any signs that your baby had turned before your midwife confirmed it? X

Mine went head down prior to 28 weeks at some point as had a scan(not sure when) and he’s stayed head down ever since. My baby used to kick really hard, but they moved to more roll overs which made me feel sick not sure if that was related x

My girl has been head down consistently since at least 28 weeks when I went for my 4D scan. I've had three growth scans since then and always head down. She's now dropped right down into my pelvis too, they couldn't measure her head on Monday as it was too low 😅 now 33 weeks. Signs have been that I started to consistently feel her butt pushing out near my belly button to one side, and her little feet kicking on the opposite side of my belly. Also since she's dropped down my urge to pee has gone through the roof, but I'm a lot less out of breath x

My baby girl is still breach I believe as I can feel her low and to each side rather then more up, i am 31 weeks x

I’m still breech I think and I’m 32+4 starting to stress a little 😅

It was confirmed 32+4 that they were head down. Kicks are very high up and lots of pressure around the middle near my belly button I guess that is their bum? I can feel them on both sides still too so I thought they were still transverse

I have no clue but I’m hoping he is head down 😂 feels much like my first! I did tell my midwife how will I know if he’s back to back and she said we won’t just need to look up this website and start doing exercises to get him in position. Downside of 2nd pregnancy only get 2 scans and see the midwife 4-5 times! X x

My little girl still rolls and flips around alot lmao. I think she is spending more and more time head down though judging by the rolling feeling I get on my bladder 😂

My boy was head down at 28 weeks, i didn’t realise until they said but makes a lot of sense as kicks were high up and now he’s in my ribs 24/7 ✌🏻

My baby is still breech at 30+4

My baby moved around week 31 and I noticed because the pressure on my pelvis really increased and walking was a bit more uncomfortable 😊 but I do know plenty of mums who's little ones didn't get into position till much later.

My pgp got much worse when baby went head down, and the little tyrant loves to nuzzle their head riiiiight in there and give it a little shake. It's also much more noticeable when the baby has hiccups as my pubic area bounces a bit

She must have moved some time before 28weeks. I think I remember when she moved because the bottom of my belly suddenly got very heavy. 🥵

i went for my 28week appointment exactly 2 weeks ago and she said baby was head down already. i had been having pain in my ribs and abdomen for the past week before that appointment and when i was checked at hospital baby was all fine so could’ve been her turning or just turned. i’m 30 weeks today and i feel like she may be feet down again as movements haven’t felt in the same place(as high up)as before. i have midwife appointment today so i’m going to ask if she is still head down.

I was told my daughters head is really low down at my last scan at 28 weeks and my midwife also said the same thing at 28 weeks x

Avatar

At my 28 week scan they said he was transverse but they don't worry until 36 weeks what position they are in

Avatar

My girls head down, I'm 28 weeks x

My girls head down at 31 weeks - measuring 32/33 weeks tho! She used to kick low down & slowly noticed her kicking more in my side and ribs x

Is this normal?

Is this little red bit on my section scar normal? It’s not oozing anything, doesn’t hurt but it’s the only bit on my scar like it so just curious! (19 days PP)
Thank you in advance! 🥰

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

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Hey what are your current symptoms?

I’m 37+5

I’m pretty mobile still but anything over a hour or 2 and I’m in discomfort

Getting up from a sitting position is hard

Some of baby’s movements now are bordering on painful especially around my crotch/pelvis

I’m exhausted very easily and nap every single day

Can basically only breathe out my mouth now and I’m snoring and dribbling 😂

Standing in one leg is very painful 😂

Some waves of pain/ tightening but I regular and mild

Low period type aches

And I feel like a fire breathing dragon with this acid reflux

My nose is growing 😂

My fingers swell slightly and go numbs in my sleep so that and constant toilet breaks keep me up ( checked swelling with MW and consultant and all normal, not a worry)


I also do not want to be social in person like I’d rather everyone just be my penpal atm lol


What are your symptoms?
