Breech!? Help!

Question

Has anyone experienced baby being breech at 33+6 and baby turned on their own? Or did you need a c section!?

Answer

Chiropractic, Spinning Babies, and patience. There are also providers who will do vaginal breech deliveries - they can just be hard to find.

Answer

There are some yoga positions that can help with that. YouTube has a bunch of prenatal yoga videos if you’re good to exercise

Answer

Babies can turn up until birth, you've got plenty of time. Don't get pressured into making a decision like that.

Answer

You can do certain stretches etc to try and get baby to flip

Answer

I know someone whose head-down baby flipped to breech when her water broke at 39 weeks, so positioning is never a guarantee!

Answer

You still have plenty of time. It doesnt become a concern until around 36 weeks and some babies dont flip until labor starts

Answer

We learned (for sure) that babe was breech at about 36 weeks (my last babe). I had been trying all the spinning babies moves for a couple weeks and continued. At 37 weeks I started chiropractic care for breech positioning. I home birth (or at least always plan to), but breech is a deal breaker for that in my state, so we really wanted baby to turn. Everything else was perfectly normal. At 37+4 babe was still breech, so we went in for an ECV. It wasn’t the most fun thing, but it also wasn’t successful (I opted for no epidural, but had an IV and a shot of terbutaline to keep my uterus from contracting in response to the stimulation). Baby tucked her head under my ribs and they couldn’t grasp her head at all to help turn her. I chose to try again at 38w. New doc (an older, larger man). He had no mercy 😂 still opted for no epidural and that was some of the most intense ten minutes of my life (this was my second baby, the first ECV was 30 mins but intermittent pressure), but he did it! She went head down and stayed and I birthed naturally and spontaneously at home at 39w6d. Totally worth it! In my area, not many docs would even let me try labor with a breech baby, let alone with my babe who was estimated at 9 lbs (8lb4oz at birth), waiting til labor started would have been fine, but if babe was still breech it would have meant a c-section. No regrets! Will do it again if baby 3 (or any others) Iif they’re stubbornly breech. Might be something for you to look into/discuss. It’s not a super common practice anymore, since docs are so comfortable with caesarean, but it’s still an option. Yes, it can be painful (for some it’s not) and there’s always a risk of baby flipping back, but definitely worth a try for me

Answer

You have time.
I believe mine didn't turn because I was settled on him not turning. Your mind is powerful!
Also because he was frank breech which is harder for them to turn.
Try stretching and amoxi candle if you haven't already.

Answer

Yeah as others have said baby still has a lot of time to flip; and they’ll have some tricks at the hospital too if needed they’ll try.
