February 2026 Babies 🇬🇧

Breech baby

Had a 36 week growth scan and just found out baby is breech after being head down since 28 weeks - honestly was not the news I wanted or expected to hear.

The midwife said realistically I’ve only got a week or so to try and flip him around otherwise it’s looking like a c-section.

Any tips or experiences with successful ECVs?

Mine decided since 28 weeks to stay in the breech position ever since… our 36 week scan confirmed she still hasn’t moved… I’m booked in for an ECV this Friday to try and flip her. 🤞I’d like to have a natural birth but if she doesn’t flip or move by herself by due date I’ll also be booked in for a C section. I’ve tried the tips of stretches, being bend at an angle 📐 hot cold treatment but no luck. Have a look at spinning babies on YouTube for exercises to help encourage baby to move 😊

Spinning babies is brilliant, forward inverted lean made me feel very light headed so try and do with someone nearby but it definitely works xx

I found out yesterday 35+5 baby is breech and if still breech by Friday it’s Ecv! Such a shock isn’t it xx

Hi all. I am in the same boat. My little one seems to have been in the same position since week 20. I am very worried about trying ECV because of the risks. Been trying everything else, like spinning baby’s and Moxibustion. But I am still yet to find someone who said it worked. Please keep us posted on your ECV. Would really like to hear more about your experience.

Small head reported following 20 week scan

Has anyone else had it flagged that their baby is in the bottom 5th percentile for head size?

They said everything was fine whilst we were in the scan and then I got a phone call the next day saying that it’s on the small side and we’re being referred to a paediatric specialist at St George’s. Has anyone else had this and how did things go??

Would you bring 9 week old to a family party of 35+ people?

These are also people who will want to pass the baby around and get a turn to hold him. He just got his 2 month shots two days ago

Exercise 6 weeks after c section

What movement did people start to introduce? I won’t do anything too vigorous until I’ve seen the pelvic physio as I don’t want to compromise anything that may have been extremely weakened through pregnancy! But just wondering what types of classes/movement people started off with?

Is this normal??

I’m 29 weeks pregnant and having really aching legs and they’re all lumpy and swollen. Above the knee and behind the knee . Should I be worried ? My legs have never looked like this up until a few days ago. ??
