Oblique at 37 weeks

Found out at my 36 week midwife apt last week that baby is head down but head is to the side and not in my pelvis, midwife never said this was an issue. I then got a phone call Friday for an urgent scan because of baby’s position but I’m booked to have section on 3rd March so didn’t understand why a scan was needed....

Low lying placenta in week 32

I have another scan at week 36 to determine if placenta moved up. Currently it’s 16 mm and I was told it’s safe to have normal delivery after it is 20 mm. Anyone experiencing the same or has any advice if I should opt for c section?

Badger notes

Does anyone else on badger notes have an issue with their scan results not being published? Every scan I’ve had including my recent growth scan comes up this scan is not published. I asked my midwife she said to tell the hospital but on the app it says to tell the community midwife if you can’t see anything 🤷🏻‍♀️
