When to worry about baby position

Question

I’m almost 32 weeks and the last time I was told the baby’s position was at my 20 weeks scan and she was breech. Should I have been told her position again by now? I have no clue how she is laying she moves everywhere😂 or should I ask my dr at my appt on Friday

Answer

At my 31 week appointment I just asked my doctor if there was any way he could feel my belly and figure out my baby's position. He had me lay back and felt around and within about 30 seconds he could tell where she was at! I would just ask your doctor if they could do the same thing next time you go in 😊

Answer

Don’t worry about position! Baby will arrive in whatever position is necessary for him/her! Instead worry about whether your OB is educated enough not to treat other positions as emergencies or excuses for csection!

Answer

I would just ask your doctor. I asked mine at my last appointment because I was curious and she was just like oh sure, I can tell you! she felt around for a few seconds and told me baby was head down with her arms and legs towards my left side. I feel like I never have as many questions as she expects me to (I just do so much reading instead of waiting to ask!) so it seemed like she was happy I was asking about something.

Answer

Your doctor should start feeling your tummy at every visit pretty soon. They can usually tell if baby is breech. If at 36 weeks baby is breech they should ask you if you want to try and get it to flip, there exercises you can do, but I don’t remember where they send you to do them. Physio? Specialist? Can’t recall lol. Sometimes they work sometimes they don’t. 
My first flipped breech at 37 weeks, and we couldn’t get him to flip back. They let me stay that way and keep trying until I started showing signs of very early labor at 40 weeks, then it was game over and emergency c-section time.

Answer

At my 31 week appointment my baby was breech. My doctor told me if he doesn’t turn by 36 weeks they will schedule a c section but that he still has time to turn. I feel him all over and I can’t tell if he’s in the same position or not lol
