Hey, I'm 37 weeks as of today. But on Friday, when I went in to the doctor, my baby girl was in a breach position, so we have a ecv scheduled for Monday. This is my first, and I hope it'll be successful, but kinda worried it's going to be painful. Does anyone have one, and was it painful?

I had an ECV done with my daughter who is 12 now. They put mineral oil on my tummy and then picked her butt up and moved her all the way around. Not gonna lie…it did hurt. But, it was over quickly for me. I delivered her vaginally a week and a half later with no tears or anything. I hope it works out for you!

Not sure if you would be interested in this or if it's an option with your doctor but I am waiting to do it at 39 weeks. It does make the chances a bit lower of success because she will be bigger but I am going to have an epidural and I am going to be induced immediately after and be able to use the same epidural. If the ecv is successful I will be induced if it is not they have a c section lined up.

We are hoping she will flip on Monday. If successful, we will set up another at 39 weeks to be induced or a c section if she doesn't flip either day.

i really want another baby

i am merely a few months pp but i want another baby, but i am scared of the age gap (2 under 2) and also with everything going on in the world i just think its not the best idea at the moment but i am having crazy baby fever and miss having a newborn🥹

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?

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

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

Homebirth?

I am thinking I want a homebirth (second baby) for a few different reasons but my husband is very against it, he is worried about things going wrong and we are a 30 minute drive from the hospital. Has anyone been in a similar position and what did you end up doing? Any advice? 🙏

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!
