Breech baby AND obstetric cholestasis... anyone else?

[mamaandthegirls]

This must be my 65TH post about my breech baby, so I'm sorry in advance
I am booked for a C/S in 2 weeks because my baby has been breech this entire pregnancy (currently 37w+2d) they won't allow me to give birth to my breech baby because I have OC. Does anyone have any experience or a similar story? Also has anyone gone into labour with their breech baby naturally?

I can't help work the OC, but I was told the baby was breech on Friday evening, booked in for a Section the following week but my waters broke the next day.

My previous child was born naturally in under an hour, so I called the hospital and was prepped for a c section as soon as I arrived. The baby was born an hour and a half after my waters broke.

It can be all consuming can't it? I found out last Wednesday that my baby is breech (after being transverse the week before, after 6 weeks head-down). Tried an ECV yesterday at 37+5 but the baby is too comfortable. Have now been booked in for a caesarean on Tuesday at 38+4 (large, first baby in footling breech, so they don't want to wait any longer). Bit worried as the doctor I saw today seemed surprised at the timing of the caesarean, but I feel I should trust the consultant who did my ECV and read my full notes... I am on steroids now, hence the worrying in the middle of the night Not entirely similar to your case, but for me too it was quite a clear cut case of a caesarean being much safer for the baby. Good luck! Hope you're not suffering too much with the OC!

BTW, I was told to go to labour ward immediately if I went into labour - they really don't seem keen on me going into labour, I think because of the risk of a cord prolapse due to the baby's footling position. I'd definitely call straight away if you think your labour has started, there will be a reason they're not keen on you delivering vaginally (which they should've explained to you when discussing your birthing options). Sorry if I sound harsh or patronising!

@NCpuffin thanks for your reply!
It's hard to get my head around I'll be having an c/s because first baby was natural birth so was hoping to have another one of those again. They told me baby is far too wedged in my pelvis to turn, plus weighed 7lb.11oz at 36 week scan so maybe that's why she's so wedged in 😁
Good luck for your CS! Please come back and let me know how it went as mine is in 2 weeks, so would love to hear your experience
