ECV

Has anyone had a ECV? Was it successful? What was it like/ the process.

I’m 35 weeks and my son is frank breech has been at every appointment and scan (3 scans most recent today) since 28 weeks (same position feet by face folded in half with head and feet my by my right rib and his bottom in my pelvis) I’m having a presentation scan next week and if he’s still the same they said I’ll be offered a ECV.

I’m terrified of having a c section so think I’ll try the ECV if they offer it. I don’t know anyone that has had one so would be grateful if people should share their experiences.

Honestly I feel exactly the same 😩 I’m 36 weeks too and it’s so frustrating. I can literally see where baby’s head and bum are and even my midwife agreed, but the scan got declined which just makes you feel a bit dismissed doesn’t it.

I really don’t want a c-section either, especially after my first birth experience being quite stressful, so it’s all playing on my mind a bit. (I refused a C-section) I’m also surprised ECV hasn’t even been mentioned yet?!

And waiting until nearly 38 weeks to be seen again feels so late when you just want some reassurance now. It’s such a stressful position to be in 😔

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

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.

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.

Hospital bag (UK)

What did everyone pack for their section? I'm staying in for 3 days due to mental health, not really sure what I'll need to bring, feeling very nervous. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

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.
