baby breech at 34 weeks? Anyone else?

Question

Anyone else's baby still not head down?
What has been the plan with your doctors?
My OB says that we'll come up with a plan at 36-37 weeks since she has a lot of time and space to flip but I'm curious to know what your doctors have planned or talked about when it comes to this?

Answer

My baby is breech now at 35 weeks. I'm getting an ultrasound tomorrow to see his size but if he is still breech at 37 weeks I will schedule a csection. My doctor lets you decide between that and trying to flip the baby, and personally, I prefer the csection. He's been measuring big this entire time, so I'm okay with that. But that's just my preference.

Answer

My baby was breech until 35+3. At that appt, we were gonna schedule a date, but he flipped! Finally!

Answer

most doctors will try to flip the baby from the outside before jumping straight into a c section, but I guess it all depends on your doctor and medical history.

Answer

We briefly discussed it at 36 weeks and I was given the option of trying a manual version or just booking the cesarean at 39 weeks.  Turned out mine had already turned from the week prior, but the kiddo has already flipped a couple times, so it was good to have that discussion just in case the troublemaker flips again. 
Manual versions are successful about 50% of the time. They're done at the hospital since they can rupture the membranes or cause distress to the baby resulting in an emergency cesarean. Essentially they try turning the baby from the outside guided by ultrasound.

Answer

My baby was transverse at 33 weeks. At my 34 week appointment my doctor said he would see if he had turned at 37 weeks. If not, a c section would be scheduled.

Answer

I'm 35 weeks and I can feel baby is still breech. has been the whole pregnancy.  with my uterus there is nothing we can do. besides hope and pray and do little tricks on spinningbabies. I really do not want my 5th labor to be a c section after 4 vaginal ones.

Answer

I'm 35 weeks and they haven't said anything just to give him time to flip. I got an appointment with consultant next week so if he's still breach I'm assuming they'll book me a c section?

Answer

I am 34 weeks tomorrow and my son flipped to breech on Friday. My son has health issues so my plan has been to induce at 38 weeks but if we get close to that day and he's still breech we will switch to a planned csection. He said they maybe would have planned to turn him but with his health issues they don't want to risk him going into distress.
