32 weeks and breech

[Lexyness]

Ok so I know not such a big deal right now!

But I’ve just seen MW at 32 weeks today (see her fortnightly anyway) and baby has gone from transverse one way, flipped to transverse head the opposite way, then a fortnight ago in the space of a few hours between my growth scan and MW app she had gone from transverse, head high on left, to head down to the left - like diagonal! Anyway today she has completely flipped again and her head is under my rib cage! Baby’s movements are so intense it was painful for the MW to feel my abdomen and she says the extent of tenderness she was wondering whether I have internal bruising! (I normally have an extremely high pain threshold!)
MW explained all my options etc to me & that it’s fine at 32 weeks, Will check again at my 36wk app and if necessary I’ll have a positioning scan! Now I feel like I’m in a tailspin!
It’s just one thing after another this time round 🙈 so many uncertainties my brain can’t cope with it! Desperately don’t want a csection unless I have to, but I’m almost thinking of requesting one now so all these uncertainties disappear! (High bp, low placenta, growth scans, dopplers, breech baby - literally feel like each week a new thing is added to the list of complications)
Anyway that’s it really, just waffling on, reassurance greatly appreciated lol x

I'm 35 weeks and midwife thinks my baby is still breech.

I'm with you on the uncertainty... I wonder if I just have a c section then that means no more surprises and no chance of an emergency c section - the idea of this terrifies me!! I'll be going for a scan soon to tell for certain where he is sitting.

Sorry I don't have any answers for you but I know what you're feeling!!!

DS was breech. He moved at 37 weeks - it gave me an upset stomach. Scan the next day confirmed it.

Thanks for your responses!
@AnnieCat84 fingers crossed lo has moved for you! I’m in absolute agony with her being this way up!
@nespressowoo I was unwell last week and feeling very sick, actually sick 3 times! Now thinking that was probably her moving! Hoping she moves back fairly soon Cos it’s so painful lol x

Sorry I meant he was breech until 37 weeks then turned head down.

Still lots of time for baby to turn. Look on the spinning babies website.

I personally wouldn't let them do an ECV if he hadn't turned, I would have opted for a c-section instead.

I'm in similar position I've got placenta previa completely covering cervix, gestational diabetes and today been told baby's flopped from transverse to footling breech, with his feet extended down. Had this with my other DD and she had to come at 35+5 so I'm looking at a section around 36/37 weeks I've got an appointment second of July to confirm.

I'm 30+4 so hoping he moves and doesn't put too much pressure on low placenta 🤞🏻xx

@OctoberGirl91 my placenta check scan is on 2nd July! Along with checking growth and dopplers as well. I’m hoping they say the placenta has moved enough for natural delivery, but also secretly wondering whether it’d be easier for them to tell me I can’t have a natural birth and must have an elcs - because then it is taken out of my hands and I can kind of stop worrying! (well except that I will still be worrying about her growth)
Having said that I have been on Labetalol and my blood pressure has been well controlled since 16 weeks - but about 2 months ago pharmacy told me there a national shortage of Labetalol 🙈 that was very stressful! They managed to beg borrow and steal 🤣 for another months prescription and then I had my consultant app and she knew about the troubles with the drug and prescribed me a replacement (an unnecessary risk imo because we don’t know how I will react to another drug 🙈) I had strict instructions to try my hardest to get the Labetalol first before giving the new script! Anyway phoned pharmacy and they had 1 box of Labetalol at a lower dose, so if I had it I could get another 2 weeks worth! This involved phoning surgery and getting a New prescription blah blah blah, however I now have enough tablets for next 3 weeks because they managed to get me another box as well! 👍🏻 They said there is absolutely no way they can get hold of anymore Cos they searched high and low for those tablets! So I handed in my new prescription to give them a month to sort that prescription! System checked and guess what ... same problem with new drug - national shortage 🤦🏼‍♀️ Their system shows they have zero availability of the drug! Left it in the hands of the manager who is again trying to beg borrow and steal even if they only get me enough to get me to 37weeks! I’m surprised my bp hasn’t shot up at just the thought of it tbh!
Sorry for all the waffling, just so much going on and I feel so out of control - you wouldn’t have thought I’d already had 3 kids and no complications lol! Just wish I could enjoy this pregnancy but it seems at every appointment I get a new worry to focus on 🙈 x

And that’s not to mention the stress of living so far away from hospital (1hour minimum without traffic, live in Cornwall and due in August when tourist traffic will be in full force 🙈)
I’ve been told I HAVE to have the baby in hospital and be monitored as have so many risk factors! Yet if everything stays ok on my scans then they want to wait until due date to induce me (originally wanted to induce me at 37weeks but they’ve changed their minds)
This is added stress because my other 3 came at 39 weeks spontaneously AND dc2 was extremely fast from beginning to end - I’m worried if they leave me past 39weeks I will go naturally and not make it to the hospital! Again putting me a baby at unnecessary risk 🙈
So much to worry about and still soooooo long to go despite everyone telling me there’s not long left lol x
