Breech Baby

Has anyone else been told baby is breech? Midwife said there’s still time and space for him to turn head down but it’s thrown me!

At 31w breech. Did no spinning babies etc and like 1 week later went head down again by herself

I don’t think there is anything to worry about if baby is breech or not until after 36weeks, then they can try and help position baby. There’s still room at this point for baby to be in position then flip and flip again :)

Hopefully still time 🤞🏼 and she gave me some positions to try to encourage him. My first was head down from early on so this one is different.

I’m 30 weeks and baby has been breech for a few weeks now. Midwife said nothing to worry about as he has plenty of time to go head down

I’m 33 weeks and baby is breech

My baby was breech from 18 weeks all the way to when I went into labor. We tried flipping her and that didn’t work. I had a C-section.

Still lots of time. Try not to worry and perhaps look into some spinning techniques as won’t hurt to try some. X

My first (2023) was breech after 36w, and I had the ECV. My current is breech.

He’s been moving a lot but it’s hard to tell which way up he is 🙃
Has anyone had the ECV done before? I’ve heard horror stories about how uncomfortable it is!

Second pregnancy, second late term breech baby, and I still can’t tell what way up he is, either 🙋🏻‍♀️🤣 I had the ECV, no horror stories, no extensive pain; discomfort, but just what you’d expect from a fully grown adult pushing down on your insides. Lasts a few mins. They explicitly explain everything + make it clear you can raise your hand to pause/stop at any time. I would def do it again if offered.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Induction?

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

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!
