I think its called spinning babies. But one of there techniques is to hang upside down from sofa on all 4s. Worked for me. My baby was the same right up to 34 weeks and I then did this as I didnt want any drs trying to turn him or c section. Thankfully it worked.

Chiropractors use a technique called Websters or something it’s really gentle. Didn’t work for me but we only found out at 38 weeks our LO was breech. Did spinning babies and also some Chinese medicine called moxibustion with an acupuncturist.

We tried everything as I say didn’t work as had been the breech since 26ish weeks and found out at 38 weeks. Would also look at breech without borders and discuss how confident the team at your local hospital are to deliver breech babies vaginally we had a whole breech team who had enhanced training and were brilliant at talking through options!

My first was like this.. I used a big birth ball and constantly sat on that sort of swinging my hips in circles and gentle bouncing. It worked!

Hey! Frank Breech mumma here!

We found out at 36 weeks our girl was a Frank breeched. They ‘attempted’ a ECV (where they flip the baby). However I was further along and by this point she has already dropped into my pelvis in preparation for birth. So they did spend 2 days trying to flip her (safely of course). Two different doctors tried but as she had already dropped into my pelvis so they couldn’t get her bum unstuck from my pelvis. Because of this I did end up having a planned c section because she was stuck and couldn’t be flipped or pushed through the pelvis at that type of breech. I was a high risk of having an emergency, so I went for planned to save risks

They will go through what type of breech you have and what positioning they are. But do not worry. Even though our ECV did not work resulting in C section for my first and only child (I planned a natural birth). Overall it was still a magical experience. The c section, it wasn’t what we imagined but it was still beautiful

At 27 weeks it’s perfectly normal for baby to be breech and spin between positions. They don’t worry about position until 36+ weeks and babies can and do turn after that. My second turned at 37+5 and my friends turned in labour

Feeling overwhelmed for the first time as a Black mum of mixed bubbas.

I have four beautiful mixed bubbas aged 17, 11, 3 and 2. I am starting to feel overwhelmed for
The first time as their mama. My 17 year old identifies as black, my 11 year old is disabled and doesn’t understand and now I am panicking as a their mum as I was raised and live in a predominantly white area which never bothered me. Majority of my village are white. Thing is I was really young when I had my daughter so was clueless what it looked like to
Raise a biracial mixed child. My son doesn’t comprehend yet due to his disability. Now my youngest are 3 and 2 I am beginning to worry esp as I have joined a couple of parents to mixed groups and I am clueless and the terminology is so confusing. Basically,
I am panicking. Pleas help! I don’t even know where to start.

Me and my fiancé want to start TTC our second baby after our wedding in September. I am still breastfeeding our 16 month old son and sleep is still disrupted. My past three cycles have all been 26-27 days long. For the past two cycles I’ve used Natural Cycles to track ovulation using bbt (with the natural cycles band). And each time it has confirmed ovulation around cycle day 19-22. I feel like I’m ovulating on day 14 due to an increase in sex drive and egg white mucus around then. But if the algorithm is correct then I am having a very short luteal phase which makes me worry about it limiting our chance of conceiving.

I took this photo straight after testing. I don’t know if you can see a faint line too? I will post a photo of the test that was taken 15 minutes later. Texted again with a different brand and it was negative - I checked the leaflet and the one I used today has sensitivity od 25mlU/ml and the one in the photo is 10mlU/ml

8dpo i swear I can see the faintest of lines but was so hard to pick up on camera.
Im may be delusional 😂 and being too hopeful.
But who knows going to retest in the morning

I’m 17 weeks + 1 pregnant I’m not sure if I have a right to be upset or it’s just my hormones.

✨⚠️Trigger Warning⚠️✨

I’m adopted, I was taken away from birth mother at 12 months due to abuse and neglect, then at 4 years old I was removed from my birth father because of abuse and neglect. I was finally adopted at 7 years old by a very kind and loving family, in 2020 my birth father committed suicide. In 2021 i was told by 3 separate people he wasn’t my biological father and this other person was.

It’s extremely sad circumstances and what happened wasn’t ok I don’t blame my birth mum for the circumstances but I do feel a type of way because of what happened to me as a child and the lies and the controlling behaviour she shown towards me since being a adult sharing only the information she wants and with holding information and then using my two younger siblings as weapons it has been cruel but I don’t blame her around my conception. For 5 years I’ve been begging anyone and everyone for a DNA test. My uncle has finally agreed to one to see if he is actually my half sibling. My birth mother offered to pay for the DNA test in which I did offer to pay for because I didn’t want anyone controlling things. Sadly it’s happened she has put down she is the only person to receive the results. I’ve cried all night and not been asleep, I wanted the results I wanted to choose who knew and didn’t know it’s extremely sensitive information. I also don’t trust her and I fear if it’s the results she doesn’t want she will report false results or rewrite the results. So I have to put in writing to the company to send me a copy of the results which will take longer 4 weeks for me to receive them. It’s destroyed me I feel she could of asked me or even put my email address down for them to be sent to me also but it’s all about what she wants to do I feel it’s cruel and unfair and crosses my boundaries 🥺😢. I don’t know if I’m being pathetic or hormones are raging or I have a right to feel how I do 😮‍💨.
