Breech babies

Is anyone else’s baby still sitting comfortably breech? Or has anyone managed to turn their baby at home?
I’m nearly 34 weeks and baby girl doesn’t seem to want to turn which is causing a lot of anxiety around birth - I’m unable to have an epidural due to health reasons so a csection isn’t as straightforward as it could be😩

Still breech for me at 35 weeks. I've heard from lots of people not to worry yet and baby will hopefully turn! I'm trying to just stick to a what will be will be attitude and as long as baby is happy and healthy were winning, even if this changes my ideal birth plan!

Had midwife today at 35+5 and baby is breech. I have a presentation scan to confirm on Thursday. I’ve spent the evening curb walking and bouncing on my ball and researching other ways to try and spin this baby 🙏🏼

My baby is still flipping from breech to head down. Had a scan 2 weeks ago - head down, midwife appointment last week head down but then a scan the day after and she was breech again. I’m 34 weeks on Friday. My first baby was consistently head down from 26 weeks so this is very new for me.

Baby was breech at my appointment last Monday, I spent the week bouncing on the ball and doing downward dog/ bridge pose intermittently throughout the week. Had to go in Sunday for pain and she is now head down. Don't know if it's worked or she did it on her own but just happy she's turned 😂

34+5 and baby is still breech as well. I don’t think she’s ever been head down 😅

I had a scan last Thursday and baby was breech. She was head down a few days before, I don’t have an appointment now until the 18th where I will be 36 weeks a lot of things I’ve read have said no need to do anything until around 36 weeks as baby can turn, it does cause anxiety around birth but there is still
Time for the them to move, one thing i will say is that a midwife at the hospital told me not to use a ball 🙃 you get so many pieces of mixed information it makes things more difficult to understand x

Makes me feel less anxious the my LG isn’t the only one being stubborn! Fingers crossed they all turn in time 🤍

Mine has also been breech on almost every scan and doesn’t seem to want to shift! Going to try moxibustion treatment before my next scan at 36 weeks and see if that helps at all

I’ve been for a scan today at 36w and he’s still breech. I am booked in for a section at 39+2 but just worrying he’ll come before and quickly where il have to deliver naturally. I hope he will stay put for 3 more weeks as they won’t bring him earlier 😬

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

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

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?

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!

Owlet

Anyone else’s owlet pi##ing them off ?!?! It goes off 5/6 a night saying it can’t get a reading and needs a snug fit. My baby is 8 months old so moves a lot. It is driving me insane and I keep end up taking it off!!
