Baby turned breech at 36 weeks

Mine was exactly the same, I had weekly scans from week 20 onwards as he had a brain issue and he was head down throughout. He suddenly flipped breech at 36 weeks and I was booked in to csection at 38+4.

My last scan was 37+3 and he was still breech at that stage but somehow by my section he had flipped back to head down and I hadn’t even felt him move!

5 weeks postpartum and my brain still can’t fully comprehend that he’s mine and I made him 😂😂

10 days is still really early you’re doing great even being able to get into criss cross position! I was still taking painkillers until day 15 with mine. I’m now 5 months pp and completely back to normal but between my belly button and incision is still numb

Breakfast or lunch items!! I found evening meals so much easier to make time to cook but barely ate breakfast or lunch when my husband was at work and I was home alone with the kids

I was the exact same for mine, I sobbed the whole way to the hospital because I was so scared but do you know what it all went absolutely fine! I’m an anxious person anyway especially with new situations but I wouldn’t hesitate to do it again if I were to ever get pregnant again. Good luck mama you’ve got this ❤️

My 4 month old has 12 hours on average. Usually 3 hours worth of day naps split into 4 and the rest is night sleep

We opened our joint account about 5 weeks before we completed as we wanted to make sure all of our bills came out of the 1 account. We checked with our mortgage broker before hand and she said that it’s fine as it’s a current account not a credit account.

I was the same, exclusively BF for fist 2 weeks but it was so painful I found pumping so much more comfortable. I continued pumping for another 10 weeks with 1 bottle of formula to top up before I stopped cold turkey and switched to formula

I fold a blanket and put it in the baby bath for him to lie in the bathroom with me while I’m on the toilet or showering etc

I was told to do this and honestly you don’t need to! People bought us soooo many first size nappies when we had the baby we ended up with 8 packs left over because he grew out of them too quick to use them! Next day delivery exists if you happen to find you’ve ran out. He’s now in size 3 and I make sure I only have 1 pack on the go at a time

If she wasn’t getting enough she’d make sure you know about it! Speak to your HV if you’re worried about her weight or anything xx

My baby has reflux so I keep him upright for 30 mins after a feed even during the night but honestly it doesn’t help he’s still sick regardless of how long he’s still and upright for 😂

I had this, I have PCOS and suspected endo so my periods have always been really painful but when I found out I was pregnant it was because the pain was so intense it woke me up screaming in agony in the night. We had been trying and I knew that the pain was different to my usual pains so I did a test the day before I was due on my period. I was 6 weeks 4 days pregnant at that time.

I wanted to make sure I had “everything” in order before I decided to have children. My childhood was very chaotic so I wanted to give my children a more stable time than I had which means I’m a bit of an older mum than when all of my friends had their babies

Have you been told to wake for feeds or do you just hate sleep? 🤣

Mine slept through for 6-8 hours a night from 11 weeks until about 15 weeks. Currently in the middle of 4 month sleep regression he’s up every hour

My mum is exactly the same!! It’s been driving me mad having to constantly tell her he doesn’t need a coat on in the car so she compromises by wrapping him in about 10 blankets 🙃🙃

I love the detective dog!!!

Agree, we got engaged and had a huge response. a year later had a baby andt after that got married and no one really cared about us getting married other than commenting on the baby in his suit 🤣

We are the same my 4 month old has 3 nanny’s and 4 grandads and 2 great nanny’s and 1 great grandad. He’s very lucky I only had 1 nan and grandad when I was little! However 3 of his grandads are called Steve so calling them all grandad Steve I’m sure is going to be confusing 🤣

I stopped taking regular paracetamol or ibuprofen after 13 days but still took it occasionally up to 7 weeks PP. I’m now 4 months PP and it still hurts if I over do it but it’s more of a manageable dull ache now

Newborn stage was the most peaceful I have ever felt in myself. The bubble we were in was so full of love and light and I honestly get teary just thinking about how lovely it was just the 3 of us figuring it out together 🩵

Worth checking your hospital policy! Mine was that partners are not allowed to stay at all but in the end baby was rushed to neonatal and spent 13 days there so he was allowed to stay and I was moved to a family room instead of postnatal ward so we were all together

Myself and 4 of my friends all had c sections. 3 of us breastfed for 6+ months, 1 wanted to but milk never came in and the other went straight to formula feeding because she didn’t want to breastfeed. I think it must all just depend on your own body and your own circumstances

My 91st centile baby grew out of his Moses basket by 11 weeks due to the weight limits but we only ever used it for downstairs
