I’ve heard Spinning Babies is good for getting baby into the optimal position!

Spinning babies. Spending as much time on hands and knees/forwardly inverted as possible so your belly acts as a hammock for baby's heaviest part. I know some people have had luck with putting a heat pad at bottom of belly and frozen veggies at the top to entice baby to avoid the cold. Avoid reclining. Swimming and doing a handstand in water if you can. Supported head stand depending on how desperate you are lol.

Hospitals

I am currently pregnant and have not had any scans or tests done (5 months) my midwife has sent out a referral for Birmingham women’s but they haven’t gotten back. I had my first child at heartlands and did not have a good experience therefore I do not want to go back there. Can anyone recommend a good hospital but not too far from Birmingham city centre.

Vaginal birth after emergency c-section

My sons birth ended in an emergency c-section due to complications. He will be nearly 4 and a half when I give birth this time. Has anyone had a vaginal birth after an emergency c-section?

Sibling names way too similar or could it work?

I have a son Edward (we often call him Edward or Teds, he isn’t abbreviated to Eddie) but ive fallen in love woth the name Eidi for a girl 🙈😫 absolutely love it but feel like its way to similar to Edward 😅
I was thinking about using the name Eidith and abbreviate to Eidi.
Edward and Eidith
Edward and Eidi
I guess it kind of works unless Edward is ever abbreviated to Eddie then its just far too similar. Abd he might very well end up going but Ed/Eddie at school ect.
Whats everyone elses opinions?

Just a rant!

Just getting frustrated over here- I have been on the list for an elective c section since my first midwife appointment. I will be 39 weeks tomorrow and still don't have my date through. Midwife says all I can do is wait and the hospital is very busy at the moment and lots of people on the list but assures me it will come through. It's not that I need the c section asap, it's more that I want to know the date asap. Part of my reason for wanting an elective is because I don't cope well with the unknown and thought having the date in advance would help. So frustrating but I guess all I can do is wait 🫠

I have my midwife appt today I am going to ask for a stretch and sweep- but this morning omg! - pressure has been unreal I keep getting random shooting pains in my lower abdomen and I’d say I have like 3 of these an hour - I’m also feeling this pain in rectum with constant intense shooting pains that take me by surprise, I’ve now legit had a full clear out but pain has not subsided, the pelvic pressure is that bad I’m actually unable to walk properly. Walking like a telly tubby Has anyone else had the same and gone into labour?!
