Please help calm me down…

(Third baby / two previous spontaneous labours).

I am spiralling.

37+5 and went in for reduced movements yesterday. Had a scan today and baby is transverse.

They want to do an ECV on Thursday at 38 weeks to get baby head down (obvs with risk), and then if successful they want to break my waters so she cannot move again (and will either go into labour or need induction). If unsuccessful, they want to schedule a section.

Please please please give me a positive story that doesn’t result in days long labour / c section 😭😭

I know ultimately the most important thing is getting baby out safely, however I am absolutely petrified of the thought of both induction/c section.

They have said if I don’t have the ECV the likelihood of her going down on her own now is low and may need emergency c section anyway 🥺

Labour approaching?

TMI… 38 weeks and 3 days today, diarrhoea constantly today 4 times in 4 hours, last night had a lot of pressure in pelvis and rectum again for about half an hour, did anyone else get bad diarrhoea and did labour follow it if so how long after?

Big baby advice please!!

I attended my midwife appointment today (27+4) and baby is literally off the scales! Midwife has said she’s referring me for an emergency scan and look really concerned for me. Has anyone else’s growth chart shown a baby this big? If so what was the weight at birth? TIA

Advice on early induction

I had my growth scan today (35 weeks) and they are measuring on the 9th percentile. I have another scan in two weeks and they'd like to discuss inducing between 37-39 weeks if they've not grown enough. Any advice or similar experiences?

Second baby and my first was born 6th percentile at 40 weeks - small but perfectly healthy!

Bump change

Hey, I'm 32 weeks 2 days pregnant and my bump seems to look smaller/lower? And I have this gut feeling something isn't right 🤷🏼‍♀️ what do I do? I can still feel little man moving but it just feels like something is wrong. I'm booked for a C-section on the 21st September x

28 week bloods

Riding my last appointment my midwife told me I needed to go for the 28 week blood tests at the hospital. Do I book this or will I get something through?
