Unsuccessful ECV

Had an unsuccessful ECV yesterday and I feel so shattered now, I’m 38 weeks and hoping he turns before the c-section due date. It’s so hard knowing I may not have a natural birth this time around.

There’s a chance going into labor can turn baby! My baby was breech and I was given the option to wait until labor to see if contractions would turn her. If not I would get a c section

Sorry to hear this. I have an ECV booked for tomorrow when I’ll be 37 weeks. If it is unsuccessful I will be aiming for a breech vaginal birth. C section isn’t the only other option!

If you do have to have a c-section, it’s still an amazing experience! I had no choice but to have one due to excess fluid and baby being breech, I felt disappointed that I didn’t get to go labour but wow it was such an amazing experience! So chilled and magical! & recovery was absolutely fine. I was up walking within 6hrs afterwards! So it may not be what you want but don’t let it put you off! :) xx

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

2nd pregnancy after c section

I’m not planning on getting pregnant anytime soon but in the future possibly. I just wanted to know how is pregnancy after c section like my fear is having to go through another emergency operation or even putting strain on my incision during pregnancy

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.

Labour

Think im a bit confused really, i went into traige as was having contractions eveey 3-5mins. Since being here im now having them every 2-3mins which was confirmed with the machine and i think the toco was 90-100 and they feel painful and my lower back is in loads of pain but apparently im only just over 2cm dilated maybe, she has said i can stay here for a bit longer to see if things progress as had a previous quick birth as well but i dont understand why the pains are coming this quick if im only 2cm dilated and feel a bit deflated from it also.

I had a sweep this morning also.

Pregnancy after c section

What time scale did everyone get pregnant again after a c section?
I know the doc said they recommend eating at least a year to 18 months but it took 4 years to get pregnant the first time after being told we could not conceive naturally so not wanting to stop it happening knowing it could take a very long time again but also worried.
