I would say I’ve been pretty fortunate that the majority of my pregnancy I’ve not been very anxious but the last week I’ve been getting really anxious! I’ve opted for an elective c-section (I’m 39w next week) and I’m still waiting for a date 😢 I know rationally that if I wasn’t having one I wouldn’t know when…

Had my 31 week midwife appointment this morning and baby is still breech, my first baby went head down really early on, has anyone had a baby turn after this point?

I just want to see that I’m not the only one feeling this way. The nausea and the vomiting has returned. I do have low iron based on my last blood test but I’m taking iron vitamins and it’s still not helping. Anyone also feeling this way in your 3rd trimester??
