"I hope I don't have any tears" They were some of "I hope I don't have any tears" They were some of the first words I spoke seconds after the birth of my daughter last year. Having skin to skin was just the best, oxytocin was flowing and the contractions were all over! I was exhausted though and still high from the gas & air as you can see 🤣 At the end Tyrone says "You did really well" 💪🏾 Such an amazing experience! This was the start of my final journey through motherhood and I'm so glad my mum @lorraineshall caught it for me. I didn't have any tears by the way 🙌🏾 What were your first words after giving birth??
Some women will give birth via Caesarean section ( Some women will give birth via Caesarean section (c-section) and this can be planned or unplanned. If you have a c-section planned, it’s much easier to prepare for it but in the event of an unplanned c-section, it’s always good to know what to expect just in case.

If your baby is in a breech position at 36 weeks, If your baby is in a breech position at 36 weeks, you may be offered an external cephalic version (ECV). This is when an obstetrician, tries to turn the baby into a head-down position by applying pressure on your abdomen. It can be a bit uncomfortable but around 50% of breech babies can be turned using ECV, allowing a vaginal birth. When an ecv has taken place, you will be monitored closely for a while afterwards to ensure all is well with the baby. As with many interventions there are risks associated with an ecv. Approximately 1 in 200 babies will require delivery by C-section straight after an ecv due to complications such as bleeding from the placenta which may cause fetal distress. Sometimes a baby may also flip back into the breech position. . Some women may want to discuss rhe possibility of having a breech vaginal birth rather than having an ecv. You can discuss this with your obstetrician. There are some scenarios where a breech vaginal birth would not be recommended and those include: Having a low lying placenta If the baby's head is tilted too far back making the deluevey of the head difficult If the baby is a 'footling breech' feet first rather that bum first If you have preeclampsia For some women, a planned C-section is the best option for them. . . . . . . . . . #obgyn #womenshealth #gynecology #health #pregnancy #baby #breech #obstetrics #gynecologist #love #doctor #instagram #pregnant #ecv #medicine #drops #evidence #laboranddelivery
