So upset.
I went to my midwife appointment this morning for a sweep.
Baby has been ready this whole pregnancy. I am 39+3.
I had a scan 8 days ago, she was growing lovely and engaged.
They couldn't do the sweep because baby has decided to completely turn and go breech right at the last minute 😞
Now I have to sit and wait all weekend until I hear from the hospital with a plan.
Stats show the most likely option is now a c section due to the timing.
I am absolutely gutted this has happened 😞

Sorry to hear this, I’m wondering if you can ask your doctor for an ecv? Where they try and manually turn baby. Maybe it’s worth asking ?
So sorry, I feel for you. The same sort of thing has happened to me. It’s my due date today and he’s in the wrong position after weeks of being spot on. Midwife said try a weekend on the birth ball to try and move him then will reassess on Monday.
We will be fine with c sections but it’s a bit sad when not our plan A. It’s disheartening. Be kind to yourself over the weekend x
I haven't tried this myself but I've heard a lot of mums mention spinning babies, maybe that's worth a look into?

Tightenings on Monitor
I’ve just been on monitor at assessment unit and they’ve asked if I’m having any tightenings and I said I could feel them but nothing major. Midwife said they are measuring higher than braxton hicks, has anyone else had this and it progressed?
Thanks!

Sex after c section…
I’m 3 weeks PP and feel good to go, like I’ve got an itch that needs scratching and I know my partner does too 😅
In the UK we’re advised to wait 6 weeks and he’s super considerate and wants to wait the full 6 weeks to ensure that I’m okay, has anyone else gone for it sooner than 6 weeks after a c section?

Outings with baby
I would love to do my outings with my baby, however every time I take him out I end up having to take him out the pram and walk with him in my arms lol. It therefore puts me off wanting to go out as much because he cries in the pushchair.
Maybe I should take him out more to get used to it? Any other advice on how I can get him to just chill in the pushchair lol.

16 week scan - wrong gender
Did not expect the news today that I’m Infact having a little girl. Everyone says the cord is rare but it clearly isn’t. I’m total shock!
Need to exchange clothes. 🙈 hopefully it’s the same gender at our 20 weeks scan. Haha.
