I’m 34 weeks and baby boy is breech 😭

This is my second baby, I was hoping for a home birth this time so I’m really anxious about the fact he’s breech.

I’d love to hear positive stories of babies flipping and/or elective sections with breech babies 🙏

My baby was breech at 35 weeks. I did lots of spinning babies techniques, saw a chiropractor and an acupuncturist and by 37 weeks he was head down. I was also planning my second home birth (didn’t happen in the end as I had an infection), so I was so stressed about him being breech. He turned though, you still have plenty of time, especially if this is your second baby! I was booked in for an ECV but on the day this was booked for, they scanned me and he was head down.

I would recommend just doing everything you can like the things I said I did as I have no clue what actually turned him, or if he would have turned himself! I also never sat reclined on the sofa, always sat on my ball and kept active.

I was planning a vaginal delivery even if he remained breech, but my hospital wouldn’t support a breech home birth.

Music at the bottom of your belly do it 15mins in the morning and 15mins before bed. You could do it longer if you want. But it helped keep both my twins head down.

Positive induction stories please

Due to be induced on Sunday and I’m currently 41+3 today, nervous about being induced as I wanted natural with birthing pool. Please only positive experiences on being induced because everyone’s been fear mongering me about being induced🥲

Please help me lol

I’m currently 36 weeks pregnant. Over the last 3–4 days I’ve had a lot more thick, jelly-like mucus/cervical discharge than usual, coming away in quite large amounts. I’ve also been having cramps and a lot of pressure, loose stools (around 4 times today), and I’ve suddenly lost my appetite as nothing seems appealing. I’m sleeping very badly because I’m constantly waking up uncomfortable and I’m extremely tired and groggy.

My first baby,was small and born at 37 weeks. This baby has also consistently measured small. At my growth scan today, he was around the 5th percentile and weighed roughly 5-something lbs. They said he may just be constitutionally small as I’m small and Arabella was too. They did an extra blood-flow/Doppler check for reassurance and it was completely normal. I’m having another growth scan because he isn’t growing quite as much as they’d like. I’m wondering whether everything together could mean I’m likely to go into labour early again?

Random post just because but why does every child in the world from every culture like chicken nuggets? What addictive drugs they put in them. Even I been craving mcDs chicken nuggets postpartum?!!!!!!

Also, why does everyone like chicken? Obviously not for you if you are vegetarian or vegan. My husband said because there's so many ways you can make it, casserole, stewed, curried, baked, grilled, fried, airfried so he will never get bored of it lol

Food

Hey guys,

I’m currently 20 weeks and stressed about how much I’m not eating. I just wanted to know how much is everyone eating a day? And I’ve been feeling sick can anyone help?

38+2 — is labour getting close?

38+2 and wondering if labour might be getting close! 🥹

I’ve been losing bits of my mucus plug for a few days and today there was some brown in it. I’ve also had period-like cramps, lots of pelvic pressure and very intermittent on/off contractions for about 5 days.

Did anyone else have similar symptoms before going into labour? How long was it for you? ❤️

Baby movements

Does anyones has the same "problem". My baby is active but I find it sometimes that he moves a lot other days might be more quiet. I never had a normal pattern this is my second pregnancy and the first was the same. But always make worried.
