Breech birth

Has anyone opted for a vaginal birth knowing that baby is/will be breech at birth? My midwife is pushing for a c-section is baby doesn't flip but im really against a c-section. Im thinking to keep pushing for a natural birth even is baby is breech still. I knkw there are more risks but surely k owing baby is breech then more preparation can be done?

As long as you are with a team that is comfortable and knowledgeable about doing a breech birth, then I would also try to do it naturally.

With my second I thought I would have the same opportunity because she was presenting breech and my birthing center midwives were all comfortable birthing breech babies and never even suggested a C-section. However I had an emergency C-section due to more issues.

Insomnia

Hey guys just want to see if anyone else is struggling with really bad insomnia? It’s 8.15am and I still haven’t slept! Usually it’s between 4-5am I will doze off but the past couple of days it hasn’t been until 6/8!! It’s driving me crazy 🥹🥹

Different symptoms/gender related

This is my second pregnancy and i have very different symptoms this time. I mainly just feel tired and occasionally feel sick. With my daughter i was SO sick for like 6 weeks straight. Wondering if this can be gender related?

Has anyone had really different symptoms for each pregnancy and had different genders?

Movements

I’m 24+1 with an anterior placenta; I’ve felt baby kick since 18w and have been getting stronger & more frequent ( noticing when baby will have their wake window). Ever since hitting 24w I feel like they have gotten less and it’s now making me worry, don’t know if the heat could be another factor as to why?
