Reduced movemements based on baby's positioning?

Had a growth scan wednesday just gone and baby was fine, not very wriggly on the scan but ticked off as all good, but he'd moved and is now frank breech so bum down legs up near his ears. He'd been head down and transverse previously on scans and I could tell based on the constant movemement but now his movement since the scan and confirming this different position has reduced loads and I only really feel him move if I have a cold drink or some food and lay down.
I've been told he likely doesn't have much room to kick in this position and the movements I'm feeling are mostly him pushing my skin rather than kicks? Is this accurate does anyone know?
My toddler is poorly so can't go into triage to get checked without difficulty

Hi! My baby has been frank breech for three weeks now and it’s really effected how I feel movements😊! I’ve been to triage a few times, once after feeling nothing at all for 24 hours, and each time he’s met the criteria perfectly. Like you, I have a toddler so can’t just go to triage whenever i’m concerned🫣 Definitely get checked when you can if you’re concerned but I was told the same about frank breech babies x

Elective c-section

Hi everyone! Im just really confused and would love to hear about other people's experiences.....
I had a 3b perineal tear after my first little one 2 years ago and now im 31 weeks pregnant and they've given me an option between an elective c-section vs natural birth. Im terrified about the c-section as ive never had surgery before and I've heard of people getting the "shelf" that never goes away.... The obstitrician recommends a c-section saying there's a 10-15% chance that I'll retear and 50% of people that do will have life long symptoms of incontinence but my midwife is so confident in her skills that she says that the chances I'll get another 3b tear is small, I might get a 2nd degree tear, not a 3rd degree one. Has anyone had a tear with their first and gone either way with the second that could help me out?? Thank you!!!

After birth midwife visits

Just wondering if this is a new thing across the board or not, mine and babies day 5 midwife visit I’m being told is at the hospital where as my first baby they came to the house for all checks. Any one else being sent elsewhere for this?

I’m 5 days post c-section and can barely get off the sofa so I don’t think this is a very practical appointment in regards to major abdominal surgery 🤦🏻‍♀️

Chemical

I think I’m having a chemical. Been lightly spotting since Wednesday, took a test yesterday and it’s positive but I’m still spotting and it’s slightly heavier today. Not heavy but it’s marking a pad. It’s my first pregnancy, have been trying for two years as well. I’m so scared☹️

Elective C-Section booking

Hello everyone!

My due date is 31st December…I’m definitely having a C-Section due to complications with my first labour.

Will my section be booked in exactly a week before (christmas eve), or will they avoid that date due to staff shortages over the holiday season?

Thankyou❤️❤️❤️

Advice please🥹

My partner and I have been trying for two years and finally got our positive yesterday! Ironically after being diagnosed last month with unexplained infertility. I actually had a bit of a burn out after receiving my diagnosis and never tracked my ovulation so I don’t know exactly how far along I am. Clear blue says 1-2.

I am terrified of miscarriage and chemical pregnancies. I have been spotting for around 3 days and I’m worried sick I will lose this baby. I have PCOS too but I’m not sure if that has any bearing on anything.

Does anyone have any advice for me at all? We haven’t spoke to anyone so I can’t even talk with my friends or family about it all, it’s so early on💜
