@imhereforthecakeThanks for the tag and the new thread!

How many threads do we think we will get through before we all deliver 😂😂 had my 31 week midwife app today told her about breech on growth scan I have another scan at 34 and if no turn by then at my 36 week app she will
Book me a c section. That will probs be between 38 and 39 weeks because 39 weeks falls on the long bank hols weekend for me. Mixed feelings about c section anyone had one previous and had good recovery ?

Just place marking and posting the FB group so it's easier for people to find :)

Hi all, happy new thread and thanks for the tag!! Need to try and keep up with this one.

@Flowerbug1994 ftm here so no experience to share sorry, what are your thoughts at the moment? I have had a few people on different occasions suggest I may have to have c section and found it quite hard to get my head around and also had mixed feelings. Have you looked at the spinning babies website? I have heard good things.

Husband just walked in and talked about plans he was making for 8 weeks time when a friend is moving back to UK... I looked at him and said 'you're not planning to go out drinking in 8 weeks time, are you?' And he said 'yeah why not!?'. I was like ummm the baby!?! Am I being ridiculous to expect him not to go an hour away for a night out when I'm 38 weeks pregnant!? Or is that unreasonable/controlling? Finding it hard to tell with pregnancy hormones 😬

@Flowerbug1994 my first baby was an emergency section and apart from expected pain and discomfort for the first couple of days my recovery was really good. Have since had 2 vaginal deliveries and would honestly say that my recovery from them was much harder. Maybe I have just forgotten but I really don’t remember having any issues from my section at all and from everything I’ve heard recovery from elective should be easier than emergency so hopefully you won’t have any problems if you do end up having to have a section.

@imhereforthecake thank you so much for the tag!

Hello!! Thanks for the new thread!

Thanks for the tag!!

Thread 10 - I wonder if this is a MN record?

@Flowerbug1994 are they offering any other options for trying to turn baby like moxibustion or an ECV? Apparently the sticks you burn for the moxibustion has a ... suspicious ... smell but can work! Something to do with pressure points I think.

@AlbatrossSociety not overreacting or controlling at all IMO, they'll be fully cooked by 38 weeks and I'm sure he wouldn't want to risk missing the birth. I had a similar conversation recently with my husband about choosing a weekend for him to do a camping trip with friends. He'd been thinking that baby will come from 40 weeks onward rather than possibly before!

@AlbatrossSociety am scared of the recovery and not being able to drive but my sister had natural birth with bad rear ended up in theatre and couldn’t walk for days and has never been the same that was 9 years ago so I know it’s swings and roundabouts
@Whatcanmyusernamebe that’s makes me feel a lot better when I hear good stories like thag I have a friend who had emergency section in December after 2 natural births and said she was just fine. Am reading up on spinning babies
@GrowBabyGrow I haven’t been given many options yet they told me to wait for my next growth scan in 3 weeks when am 34 weeks and if still breech then theh will book me in at 36 weeks haven’t mentioned evc but I’ve heard not to good things about bleeding and stuff and am rhesus negitive and baby isn’t so already having anti d injections. Am thinking of having a go at acupuncture I think I would find it relaxing aswell

Thread 10, amazing! I'm about 30 weeks and losing the ability to tie my shoelaces 😂 even sitting forward for a meal gives me a stitch! It's going to be a long 10 weeks. I'm due 19th June and working until 10th June (in theory)!

Thanks for the new thread and tag, @imhereforthecake! WOW thread 10.

Made the mistake of weighing myself. I thought I had a healthy relationship with my weight but I think pregnancy has taught me I’m a control freak about it. Seeing the scales go up simultaneously fills me with joy that baby is growing and dread.. that I’m getting heavier. So weird.

Woohoo new thread!

Had my 28 week midwife check in today. Blood pressure a bit low, but she had good advice (and no judgement) about prepping for a c section, and recommended some of the positive birth company videos to get familiar with what happens.

I've also just been for a swim, which was the best thing ever. So nice to get the weight off my back and feel a bit more mobile for an hour.

Thanks for the tag!

@Flowerbug1994
ive been told the same as baby is transverse but also good told there is still loads of time for baby to move! But yeah if they are still not right by 36 then c section is booked. It’s not ideal but I’ve told myself not to be sad at any plan for delivery as long as baby is okay!
I thought they try and move the baby atleast though rather than just booking in for a section!

@letsbekindPlease
Thanks for the great advice!! I’ll check out the website to see if I can get any help with physio in time :) I have hyper mobility in my hips which I think can cause PGP so wonder if they can do anything to help.

@AlbatrossSociety you are definitely not being unreasonable! With my first pregnancy, from 37 weeks my partner didn’t drink so he was always on hand to drive me to the hospital!

I'm torn between being emotional about the pregnancy ending but at the same time I'm so done with it. Can't win

Thank you for the link to the Facebook group.

@AlbatrossSociety not unreasonable at all! I’ve said the same to DH that I really don’t want him going far around then. His friends have a stag do when I’m 39 weeks and he had to say no just in case. The wedding is in august so I said he can go to that (but I won’t as it’s in Spain!)
I think they think babies come bang on time 😅🙈

On another note, is it okay to be sad about missing out on things? This baby is 100% planned so I shouldn’t be sad as it’s expected and I’d rather have the baby then do things, but I was reminded that I won’t be able to go see movies I’ve been anticipating in the cinema, etc, which is a bit sad, but I’d rather be at home with the baby. It’s a bit of a weird one but I feel like a terrible mom to already be upset about things I can’t do. 😬

Checking in! Thanks for the tag

I'm working until 20th May and due on 13th June. I'm already struggling with tiredness though which is bound to get worse!

@Vimto1991 no - don’t feel bad about it! I’m sad about missing things too! It’s going to be a big adjustment, putting baby first… at least for a little while! There are loads of cool summer concerts I’d love to go to this year… but probably not doable…

@PleaseSendNoodles yeah definitely a big adjustment. I thought getting a cat was big enough 😂😂 well we will have our little ones to play with and when they’re a bit bigger still be able to do the things we love! Think I am just perhaps mourning my independence loss for the first time 😂🙈 I’ve been mourning my career this week too, think it’s all starting to feel real now!

Thanks for the reassurance everyone! We had a chat about it and he said he was just assuming baby would come 40 weeks or after and didn't think he or she might make an earlier appearance. I think it just seemed so crazy to me because when I think about June, it's the first thing on my mind but it just didn't occur to him. I think part of me just wants him to think about it as much as I do but that's probably difficult when he's not actually carrying the baby...

@Vimto1991 I completely get you, I have had quite a few wobbles when I think about the things I won't be able to do. Loss is definitely part of the process and I think a baby is such a long term prospect that it can definitely feel overwhelming. It's school holidays now and I'm not getting any work emails and I had a moment of panic the other night thinking 'oh my god, it's not going to be long before I stop getting work emails all together!!'. What a weird thing to mourn.

@AlbatrossSociety I was going to say that if he is anything like my partner you should not get crossed at him 😅 He seems to think that on the 29th we will meet our baby, not earlier, not later. That day. He does not seem to understand that the due date is an estimation!

BTW, has the ad banner changed in MN? It is taking almost half of my phone screen, it is so uncomfortable to read and type. Right now I can't actually see the message box because of the banner and the keyboard.

Thanks for the new thread!

For the people who were asking about shein, I was a 12 pre pregnancy and ordered a medium and they are fine. The burgundy top is actually a nursing top too.

@Flowerbug1994 I had an elective last time, it was great. You can still ask for certain things you may want (dropping the screen so you can see baby, music, drips put in certain places so you can still do skin to skin etc) and it's pretty relaxed usually. Also great knowing when baby will arrive! My only "problem" as such was that our shower at the time was over the bath and I struggled to get in the first couple days.

@AlbatrossSociety definitely not! At 38 weeks he needs to be sober, what if you go into labour haha!

@Vimto1991 I understand about missing things. Depending on how baby is you can still do most things though. I never went to the cinema last time, but I have lots of friends with chilled babies who regularly went/ go to the cinema with baby in a wrap. I went out for meals a lot as I knew baby was fine in that environment.
Definitely don't relate to the missing work thing though haha, I can't wait to be gone!

Also in the not overly enjoying pregnancy crew. I love feeling him move and everything but ugh. I'm so uncomfortable all the time, I can't breathe when he's in my ribs, I need to pee every half hour when he's on my bladder, I'm waddling like a penguin already, I can't sleep, can't roll over in bed, have heartburn etc etc etc haha!
Swear the last pregnancy was so much easier.

@Lostintranslatio yes!! Can't see half of what is on my screen, especially if I'm typing.
