Recent midwife app

I have an appointment today at 34+6 and baby is still breech, I was told I’ll be seen again in two weeks and if still breech I’ll be sent for a scan. But midwife did say there would be an option for a vaginal breech birth, has anyone opted for this and how did it go?

Another thing that came up was that I was measuring 2 weeks behind and I know the measurements are to be taken as a guide and not exact, but due to my age (42) I thought one of the concerns are that the placenta is more at risk of not working as well particularly at the later stages of pregnancy, would anyone have been expected to be sent for a growth scan? Am I overthinking it?! 😬
TIA xx

They can do a growth scan which can also determine if baby is still breech. If u feel hiccups extremely low in your pelvic region then the baby has flipped. Also more kicking near your belly button (harder to be sure). It is normal for babies to not turn until 37+ weeks. It's not unusual to be right side up still,. something like 20% still haven't turned

Induction?

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

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? 🙏
