33 weeks and breech

I’m feeling really discouraged and overwhelmed. At my last OB visit she told me that the baby was still breech - which makes sense because I can feel her head up in my left rib - and that if she didn’t turn by 37 weeks we should explore options to flip her manually or I’d need to schedule a c-section. Just sharing on here to vent out my feelings. I’m doing inversions and things from spinningbabies.com every day but I’m just starting to feel kind of down and resigned to this c-section.. but I think this has also made the gravity of my impending labor very real and I’m starting to feel scared and kind of depressed. I just want to have a safe and relatively easy labor, and this kind of blows.

I was breech too I learned that having something a little below elbow area and putting your arms on it like in a plank like position having legs apart and far out and stretching letting your belly hang gives them some more room and options to slowly turn or flip.. I did this for 2 weeks and baby is now head down.. best of luck to you and your baby!! There's still time dont give up! 🖤

Do the Miles Circuit to help baby flip and lower head in pelvic area

At 33 weeks there's still time to get baby to flip. I'd be scared too, I've been doing spinning babies basically the entire pregnancy. I'm on 32 weeks today.. but just wanted to share this one, because I didn't see it on spinning babies.

You can Google "breech tilt" if you haven't heard of it. I've seen recommendations for 2-3x per day for 10 minutes. Some people use an ironing board but I think you can also just stack up some cushions.

Wow I am in the same exact boat! I’m 35 weeks tomorrow and the DR told me the same thing & I’m freaking out inside 😩 my husband & I started doing exercises but I’m still feeling down about it ! But we got this!

Stomach Hard

I’m 32 weeks and stomach hasn’t been constantly hard for 15 minutes, it hasn’t eased at all just being rock hard… should I worry?

No baby bump yet

This is my first pregnancy (18 weeks right now), and I'm plus size, and no baby bump yet. I'm so over my mom telling me every time she asks if I'm showing yet.. "well, you are overweight..." Anyone else deal with this in their first pregnancy? Honestly, I feel like it more has to do with it being my first than being fat pre-pregnancy. Sigh. Just frustrating when everything is completely healthy but I still feel like my weight is the center of attention.

Funny pregnant moment

When you are so big and due super soon that people on the street stare at you when you are walking around. Like sorry I'm trying to have a easy labor and keep myself entertained instead of staying home haha
