ECV failed

Looks like I’m going for a c-section in two weeks 😟

Sorry to hear this! Ignore if you’ve tried it already, but I think forward leaning inversions worked for me these last couple of weeks! (Check out demos on YouTube). I’d had a scan at 36 weeks and they confirmed was baby breech. Whereas baby been head down a few days before. I could tell when the little one’s bum vs the head was in my ribs, so there was lots of switching around.

Tbh I felt silly doing the exercise a few times a day, but it worked and we’re just shy of 39 weeks now and defo head down. All the best mumma!

My friend swore by Moxibustion, maybe worth a bash!

My daughter was breech whole pregnancy, declined EVC and was booked in for section at 39 weeks, got to hospital day of section all gowned up and they felt bump and thought baby had turned! They got a scanner and confirmed she was now head down! It can happen! Send home and went into labour naturally at 41 weeks x

I’ve tried ‘Spinning Babies’ technique blood pressure was elevated and I was light headed so not trying that again. I also do acupuncture and moxi

Bouncing on a birth ball. Always trying to be upright and forward. Deep squats.
If vaginal delivery matters to you, you can always aim for breech delivery. I personally would but that obviously depends on you and baby's exact position, supportive medical team and risks and benefits ❤️❤️🙌🏼

safety matters more so I’m going c-section

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! 🥰

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Labour??

I’ve had on/off mild period cramps since 9 last night, very irregular and very mild, but I just had one that woke me up. My waters haven’t gone and nor has my mucous plug… but could this be a sign that it’s close?! I’m 40+3 and desperate to meet her!

Fed up

Anyone else just feeling fed up in general? I just never feel happy anymore. Wake up dreading what the day ahead of us will be like.
Little one will be 6 week tomorrow

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?

32 weeks

32 week growth scan and clinic appointment. Did anything unusual happen? Ive heard a few people saying 32 weeks was when they had a induction date
