Breech turned head down after 36 weeks

Hi, I just wondered if anyone had a breech baby that turned after 36 weeks.

I am now 36 weeks with my first and going through the process of having to make a decision about intervention due to a breech baby. It doesn’t help that she’s measuring 95% for head and 99% for tummy as well so they are not recommending that I try breech birth at full term.

I’m trying to stay positive that there’s still a chance she’ll turn but it doesn’t seem like the doctors are confident that she will on her own.

If you’ve been in a similar position and had a positive experience I’d really appreciate hearing about it :)

I haven’t experienced this but it was a thought our midwife had had for a while due to baby position so we checked but anyway, when discussing with her as I wanted an unmedicated birth, she said out of her two births, her breach was the better one… but it could just be a unique experience

My baby was footling breech (feet down) I don’t have a Turning positive story.but had an elective c section and my birth was amazing. I wouldn’t change it even if I could.

I was devestated first, but for my next baby (if I’m lucky to have one) I would opt for a c section now.

So if you had to have one , it’s not so bad ❤️❤️🫶

Best of luck to you girl x

Always wet!!!

Any solutions for constant discharge?????? It’s healthy and more when I’m ovulating but I can’t just wear panty liners all months that’s not healthy. It’s so overstimulating and I can’t deal.

Movement

Anyone experiencing really irregular/“unpatterned” movements? I am 23+5. Last week baby seemed so active everyday moving and thumping inside. The last couple of days the movement has seemed less - especially through the daytime - and also feels less intense (maybe just moved position or cushioned against something?). I have posterior placenta. Hard not to overthink/panic so wanted to know if anyone else experiencing the same! X

Breech baby

Hello all I’m 36 weeks and have been told I have a breech baby. Has anyone managed to successfully get theirs turned around?
I have quite bad reflux too so hanging upside down is not ideal.
Any tips or experiences are welcomed thank you xx

Inductions

Hey I’m hoping to hear positive induction stories, theres so much negativity surrounding the hormone drip and I’m now absolutely shitting myself to get induced tomorrow. If anyones had an unmedicated induction and spontaneous delivery I’d love to hear the differences in pain levels as well, i went unmedicated with my son and whilst it was shit it was definitely manageable but im not sure if i should mentally prepare myself for an epidural this time around. My waters are already bulging apparently so I’ll be going straight to that and won’t need the balloon or propess x

My daughter

My baby girl has been congested and now I noticed a little sleep in her eyes I am taking her to the doctor this morning so that they can look but it is just one eye 😢 it’s the eye that looks like it’s wet but it’s not

Father’s day

it’s my boyfriend’s first father’s day (our sons 6 weeks old) coming up and i genuinely do not know what to get him. he likes sports and work🤣He doesn’t usually like father day as his own father’s absent however with him now having his own son i want to make it as special as possible for him.
does anyone have any ideas of gifts/ things to do on the day?
thank you thank you 🙈🤍
