Hey everyone!
Had my 36 week scan today and found out baby is in breech position :( after some discussion, me and my husband decided to go for a planned c section. Anyone going through the same? X

I'm 37 weeks tomorrow and in the same position. Was willing to try the ECV but they can't get me in until I'm 39 weeks. No idea what to do really š

Iām going for EVC next weds after finding out the same yesterday. I do feel a bit nervous. Did you decide against EVC and why? Iām really uncomfortable with him in this position so would like to try move him instead of waiting another 3weeks for c section

My baby is breech but I wanted a c-section anyway so Iām not disappointed. If it makes you feel any better I only ever hear stories about how peaceful and relaxing the c-section experience is and Iām sure you will absolutely love it x
Hey!!
I am having an elected C-section for a few reasons but one being my anxiety.
I was initially told I would get a date around 39 weeks but Iāve just been told it could be 41 weeks instead.
Itās really shocked me as I think this runs a risk of her coming naturally as well as now adding 2 weeks to her due date (39 weeks now being 41).
Does anyone have any experience or advice on how to manage this kind of news and how their c-section date booking went?
Please note - Iām aware I could get a date and it be moved due to emergencies but I didnāt expect this huge change.

Hello,
Iāve just had my 12 week scan. When we started baby was doing a head stand, so had to walk around for 30 minutes. When I came back, the baby was still in an unfavourable position, but could just about get measurements after doing an internal scan. I came out feeling a bit disheartened as she didnāt really say much during the scan, or after, to make me feel reassured everything was fine. I had to ask her after if everything was ok and she just said yes all fine. Am I just overthinking things or did anyone else find it just so āclinicalā and one in one out kind of thing. Itās a shame because Iāve had some private scans and I was made to feel so comfortable and reassured there, but the NHS scan just made me come out with anxiety even though nothing was said to be wrong.

Im currently 40+3 with no signs of baby. My midwife wants to talk induction, does anyone have any advice on pain levels and effectiveness from the different types? The balloon method sounds very uncomfortable, but seem preferential to the pessary as you can go home after insertion?

Hi everyone, i had my 20 week scan the other day. Everythings looking good but baby is on the smaller side particuarly head and tummy. I have been asked to go back in for a growth scan in 2 weeks time. I have been reassured by other people that some people do juat have smaller babies. My gp also advised i might need extra growth scans as some of my medications can impact growth but shouldnt be a big enough issue to come off the medications as that could have a bigger negative impact. Trying not to feel guilty as some people have smaller babies genetically anyway, i am jusr hoping to see reassuring progress at the next scan. Would appreciate tqlking to people who can relate
